    Four and twenties - tonight but they are overdue to lose one and I really want Carlton out of the finals race.

    Cats - Draft picks won

    Dogs - No Idea why

    Lions - would love the Suns to get it done but they won't.

    Done - as above

    Port  - Come on the Crows. 

    Hawks - Get that win out of your system Hawks

    Dees - Hmm fingers crossed the real Dees turn up.

    North - but they are after the extra pick so they might throw this one.

    As opposed to the team going for its fourth win on the trot?

    I made the mistake of tuning into SEN this morning and hearing David King call Collingwood a dynasty and Nick Daicos is worth 2 million a year.

    I'm typing this here, because I shouldn't have to shoulder the burden of this alone

    Go Blues 🤮

    Collingwood has their full list available and it's very strong, well balanced and experienced. 

    They have an excellent backline at least the equal of ours; they may not have the very top end talent of our midfield, but they bat measurably deeper; and their forward line is at least equal to ours.  The only area we are superior is in the ruck, but a serious question remains whether we can convert that advantage into a result.

    There's a difference in method and that's the intangible come finals time.

    Their time is now though with Pendlebury, Howe, Sidebottom, Cox, Elliott, Mihocek and Mitchell all north of 30yo.  There's a Geelong 2022 feeling in the air for me.

    I just have this feeling that Carlton will win tonight.

    same here mate but Sam Walsh is stopping me from putting too hard on it 

    Blues go on these runs and are hard to stop. If Cripps, Cerra etc are fit they’ll put in a show

    • 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.
