Not sure Yze will survive another wooden spoon season unless their board are honest about where they are at.  Max of 2 wins next year for the Tigers and maybe the year after. They haven't hit bottom yet

Their supporters are very understanding of where they are at. It's best to bottom out now and collect a draft bounty. Wait too long, and Tassie will ruin your chances of a rebuild.

This is the best possible time to bottom out.

that’s what we thought in 2011. 😋

good that their fans are on board but no way a coach can survive 3-4 years of being bottom. The next coach will take advantage of his good work

Owies would be a fair trade for Doedee in Portuguese.

I think we might assume Tomlinson will now be a Saint.

Yes, Dees will help the Saints and take a future 4th round as trade.  Rather than dilute Saints free agent compo.  We are a nice club

I hope you are joking, norm.  That should give us a better hand at trade if they want to keep the compo undiluted, maybe even a second rounder, for example, or he can go UFA and impact their compo pick……

if they get him as a delisted free agent does that dilute their compensation for battle?

Yes.

Rioli for picks 6 and 20.

When the Tiges were flying he struck me as about tenth in their best 22.

Suns have so much draft capital it's scary

That is serious overs for mine.

A month ago this guy expressed frustration and eye rolled at questions about leaving, saying he was absolutely staying at WCE. Geez, would be nice of players to not blatantly lie about these things more often

No way he goes close to that

if pick 6 is involved, the Tigers will need to send pick 19 back the other way i reckon

Just to be clear, the AFL stewards would not let JJ onto the field for the GF as Harmes' 'cramp' was not considered to be an injury

However May had a hamstring tear so could and should have come off the ground once we were well in front

True, but no way would May have gone off. Harmes offered but was not allowed. Was a selfless act by Harmsey.

  • 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.
