I would take winning this quarter on the scoreboard.

It has a horrible feel about it.

    Hunter’s over the head no look handball to Brayshaw towards the end of that quarter was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

    Hunters been good again tonight and surprisingly hard at it for a winger.

    Geelong flogging us in the tackle count.. most of their tackles don’t count however as they are off the ball.

    And then Brayshaw does [censored] all with that ball 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

     

    It is so hard to believe, but each week the quality of umpiring just gets worse.  I can barely watch games involving my team; there’s no chance I’m going to watch much games as a neutral.  It’s quite depressing.

    not great skills, poor max is having a shocker. We need to bring it home now, we have been playing poorly at times if we can just lift in this last quarter we should win it. I bit disappointed with some of the holding the ball decisions that have gone against us, and those that have not gone against geelong when they had time to dispose of it.  Holding the ball is such a raffle a couple of geelong players when they get tackled just hug the ball no attempt to get rid of it, but its still a ball up. i thought you have to at least pretend to try to get rid of it,  but that football. strange viney got pinged for throwing the ball in that quarter the commentators said they thought he handballed it but the umpire was on his blind side probably did not see it. so are we paying frees for things we dont see?

     


    I don't hate many people. I bet he's a lovely person in real life but I hate the way Tom Hawkins acts on the football field.

    We either run away with this or Scott pulls something out of his [censored] and we lose.

    I reckon the umps will do that for him as a sits back and does the old smiling clown face at the odd ones they dont call in the Cat's favour.

    We seem to have worked out what we need to do, kick to contest and pounce on the ground ball before they do.

    We should run them off their feet now. We are coming off a 10 day “bye” and them off a 6 day break from Adelaide. 

    We can run them off their feet all we want but if we keep turning the ball over under zero pressure, it ain't gonna mean a thing. 

    That's us in a nutshell tonight and always when we're at our offensive worst.

    We've got this. Geelong are reactive but hanging in there. So long as they don't get a run of shocking frees, we should hold out. Scoring would be helpful though.


    Here they come on the back of the umpires you just watch

     

    Why the duck was that a free against Fritters? Cheating dogs.

    • 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.
