My god our backline is struggling today 

Talk to the mids. Too easy for them.

A better quarter from us, out worked them and levelled up the uncontested ball. Playing helter skelter footy was playing into their hands, looking at more composed and making the Tigers do a bit more running without the ball. They also look like they are starting to tire as they were missing the mark with basic skills that they were hitting with ease in the first half.

Anyone's game, hope we can kick a few early, got vibes from Geelong a few weeks ago so need to start the quarter very well.

Very damm simple he has no tank put him in for a full quarter and that's him, great speed in short bursts and sometimes that's how some players are, then they become a liability sooner him stay inside the 50 metre arc more dangerous. 

Not if he doesn't get his hands on it

 

Tigers started going down the line rather than running the ball through the mid, maybe a result of tiring

Got that on our terms. Tiges will keep coming. If we are serious in 23 then we need to impose ourselves right now.

    If someone told me Petty had four... Melksham and Jvr three at three quarters...I'd have bet the farm.

    They are punching it and kicking off the ground to get it forward, where they can run onto it.

    We should be doing the same as fast entry will win it.

    10 inside 50s for 0 points. One inside 50 for a goal. It’s so frustrating

    The justification for Nibbler in the team is getting harder to swallow.

    • 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.
