Lester to Melk. Andrews fail

 

We could really do with a (in form) Fritch type in this forward line. Will be VERY interesting to see how he responds when he is subbed in.

Can Sparrow carry his bags?

Trac doesn’t seem to impact the way he used to. Has become very vanilla

Not committing to the contest. Hanging back. Losing too many 1 v 1 s and not hitting the contest hard or with any pace / momentum at all.

Simon needs to take him aside and have a word for the 2nd half. NO passengers mate

 

Brisbane too good, even when we do play well.

Gret team goal to Rivers


Why is a 33 year old, injury prone Jake Melksham our only forward who actually launches at the ball when going for a mark?

Everyone else tentatively stands there waiting for the ball to come to them?

Nice goal Riv

Turner Kozzi Melksham

have all been good

Gawn Rivers Bowey Trac

good enough

Both him and Oliver look like they need another pre season but even then might just be the new norm for them

Our skills picked up in the last 15 mins and as a result, we're still in it.

Putrid skills for the first quarter and a half, particularly kicking.

Who the hell is our kicking coach?

Nice goal Riv

Because most aren't natural forwards or have a forward's mentality / nouse.

I forgot about Turner before when i mentioned sending Macca up there for Petty.

So no need.

Swap Petty for Turner to have any chance of getting close on the scoreboard

    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.
