I 100% disagree, a little out of it that quarter, but his attack on the ball is light years ahead of TMac

Happy with his efforts. I know others want Brown but I can see what the coaches are seeing.

    Highlight is McVee. Quick, clean, sure handed. Kid is a star.

    At the very least it seems like we can have confidence in our future on the D50.

    McVee, Bowey, Petty very good line-up to take over May, Lever when they retire. And Disco Turner growing season after season.

    Hopefully now we can focus on KPF and some more polish and class with the foot in our midfield.

    Goody will have a good talking to them and they will get it together in the second half.

    Are we winning? Wouldn’t know it with 90% of posts

    We are ahead on the scoreboard as it stands yes. 
    But our game plan and skills are those of an Aussie rules team playing in Canada.

    It’s less about the score and more about the quality on display. It’s really ugly to watch. We are a lot better than this. I hope.

    +9 clearance against a great contested team, a bit more polish and spread and we will get a run going

    My 3 point half time PowerPoint slide headings:
    1. Carlton are rubbish
    2. Dees lack class & polish
    3. Rubbish game of footy with almost no highlights.

    I am so very bored watching this.

    1st half

    Ditto. Terrible suburban league 4 type footy. Turnovers and missed targets by both teams. Rubbish footy. 

    🤮Spargo free kick and goal (ridiculous umpiring even beyond a Ginnivan level) 

    ✅Kozzzy goal but needs to do more 

    ✅ clearances 23-14 stoppages 19-10 

    ✅JVR goal 

    🥔turnovers 37-38 

    🥔umps - free kicks 5-11

     

     

    Remember at half time when you could sit and chat to the person next to you who you are with or enjoy watching the kids play little league. Now we get rubbish techno music and dance cam. Honestly shut the music up

    Those calling for Brown to play need to watch him at Casey. He’s more cooked than a GF snag. Done, finished, retire now.

    I don't like when people just focus on the scoreboard or the ladder.

    As you have said Jaded, we look terrible against a subpar team in Carlton.

    Same. As it is we struggle to keep the ball inside our attacking 50. Smith is a lot more athletic and able to give us better coverage at ground level. 
    Tmac and BB missing is not why we are playing this poorly.

    I’m really hoping we can win the next quarter and then have the game won heading into the last where we can hopefully play a few players into form.

    Awful disposal from both teams. Luckily Carlton have been even worse than us. I wouldn't want to watch the slaughter if we produce this standard against Collingwood.

    • 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.

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week?
