    So Petty, JVR and Jefferson are not AFL standard? Ok Jason Taylor tell me more 

    Agree JNM. As we won our 2021 flag he wouldn't have been thinking of BBB  or Tmac so near their end due primarily to injury. Also Petty snd Fritata st same time. 

    Also JVR and MJ plus are great prospects. 

    By your standards Goody and JT should be looking at defenders now to add to Disco and Jed Adams and you may be right.

    Dunstan’s stats line looks impressive. 

    Any chance next week?

    Probably not but I'd have him as an emergency everyday of the week over Harmes.

    Has Tmac shown enough to usurp Brodie??

    He looks like someone who hasn't played a game of football for three months.

    In all seriousness, he's competed ok in the air and ruck. Our inside 50's haven't helped.

    Not for mine. I think we go with Grundy for another week.

    The cupboard has Ben Brown, TMac, Petty and Fritsch in it. The list has plenty of tall forward talent, the problem is injuries.

    Ben Brown and Tmac dusted, Petty is a possible, milkshake dusted, Jefferson looks to be a 50/50 at the moment. Van Rooyen and Fritta are the only true positive targets. We should traded for a forward rather than Grundy. 2019 we new weid was a lost cause.

    Yeah. Schache is the answer. Not.

    Ok, and which key forward was on the market last year?

    McDonald going pretty well as the game goes on. Tomlinson too.

    I wouldn't be upset with Spargo, Tomlinson and McDonald into our best 22 come finals time. I think McDonald needs the time in the VFL but could very well be the answer for us for the 4 weeks of September.

    We may replace Jordon with a non-mid but if we wanted another mid (and I’m of the view our midfield depth is too thin compared to our competitors) surely Dunstan is doing everything we’ve been asking of him. 

    31 disposals, 7 tackles and a goal to 3QT is a fair effort, although admittedly I’m not watching and therefore have no insight into quality of his disposals or the impact they’re having.

    Those disposal figures differ greatly from the AFL Live app for Dunstan (app says 31) and Harmes (app says 25).

    Dunstan rarely hurts with his possessions at VFL level.

    At AFL level he doesn't get enough

    • 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.
