Why do you say that?

We were keen on him at draft obviously and have stayed in touch. Let’s wait and see what happens over the next few years at the Suns…

Sam Weideman is having a really good game tonight. Best I’ve seen him play I think. 
Good to see him doing well. 
 

(have just realised how handy he might be now, damn)

He’s had a few good games this year. It’s good to see him stepping up as a focal point. He’s been better than our tall forward this year for the most part!

 

just showed the footage of the north interchange infringement. they had one planned last change. then Shiel hobbled off with cramp and some player ran on

surely a sensible organisation would just say you have to pull the bloke back off. not wait a minute it’ll the ball is with 50 and hand the game to Sydney. 

really embarrassing rule

After his first 2 goals he kicked 3 points. Led/marked well though.

A couple of those points weren’t from the easiest of set-shots. But yeah, he wasn’t clunking his marks this well with us.

The problem seems to be when the penalty is called. It can be really badly manipulated, as we saw today.

Today a free to North was then overturned to pay the interchange penalty. Is that in the rules, I would think not.

Waiting until the ball is forward of centre guarantees a goal.

serious question 

does anyone else get annoyed that the camera zooms in on play and we lose the wide angle view?

they do it more and more. take that great Cameron goal. zoomed in on him so you lose all perspective. 

i think this might be my personal pet peeve but it would make me feel better if anyone even got what i’m taking about. god knows my wife couldn’t give a [censored]

That handsome Sam Weideman fella from Bombers looks decent. 

Can't kick to save his life.

 

has there ever been a number 1 draft pick that has copped less criticism or interest than McGrath? 

decent player but nothing special. Jack Watts must be scratching his head

It’s a Saturday night. I bet Wattsy has better things to do.

Dusty Martin is the best kick in the league by a fair margin.

any chance Daniher could pick a new song? Let it go is killing me

DubDee - I am with you 100% on this.  Last night there was so much zoom in that viewers had no idea about what was up the field and where anyone was aiming much of the time.  Appalling.

Who’s the commentator that’s been sucking on the helium? 

Is Terry Wallace back on air?


Essendon winning on the siren makes me feel sick.

That Richmond player that kicked it out of bounds on the full beforehand and failed to register a point was shocking

I thought it was Wallace at 1st.
I think it's Burgoyne.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
