    What's happened to Kozzys dare and speed? Been very irrelevant for weeks now.

    Biggest fan but let's be honest, he's a shadow of his former self. Since scoring back from 2 week suspension has been struggling. I like his fwd pressure but he's not really kicking goals and getting much use. Hopefully he proves me wrong tonight.

    How many clear centre bounce tap outs can we win but still not win the clearance?

    Goody will never drop him so it looks like he's playing without care or effort

    Just quietly we have 6 frees they have 2

    Which one of those 6 wasn’t there?. The HTB decisions were all perfectly executed and duly rewarded. 
     

    they need to call what they see, not even the ledger

    How can we change it? Bring more to the contest?

    Hit targets across the ground, stop binging it in.

    Our kicking - again, unpressured horrible errors leading to turnovers.

    Geelong half backs are slaughtering our half forwards. 

    The last 7 minutes looked better.

    Nothing much since his suspension.

    Don't blame him. Imagine playing to packed stadiums every week then walking into that dump of a half Auskick sized ground

    Is that whytheCats get paid marks for 5 meter kicks?

    Yeah he is gone for that. Has to be

    Should but won’t.

    Rivers called for it mostly stationary and Gus hit it out in front for Blicavs to intercept. Rivers never had a chance. Had Rivers gone harder he’s still not 200cm, the ball still would’ve been out of reach, Blicavs spoils anyway.

    Theres a fundamental game plan issue that players don’t move in and out of space in a coordinated effort to get the ball on the move.

    But if you are going to kick in to the corridor it has to be low and flat and Gus simply doesn’t have that kick. 

    Rivers was soft in the marking contest and the player calling for the ball has an obligation to win the footy

    Rivers should have used his body to shield the ball

    You're the same bloke who argued against forwards playing in front? 

    Edited by Macca

    Signs are ominous 

    If Tracc, Brayshaw, etc Al keep turning the ball over under little pressure we are going to be very disappointed.

    All of them were there, reckon they missed one or two for them though

    Kozzie wandering around in no man's land most of the first quarter. A few others need to lift their game too.

    • 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.
