We should be sitting on 65+ right now. 40 ahead.

We are still lacking one, just one, dangerous Key Tall up forward.

Petty doing his bit but he ain't no KF.

Turner doing very well down back but i'd still like to see him up forward at some stage to see how he goes in a swap with Petty. Maybe an opportunity next week against the aints?

Gee i'm lovin this doof at the G. So makes me wanna keep coming back 🤮

    Frisch,Petty & AJ need to lift & take a mark.

    Agree, but Petty is at least getting it to ground, not letting it rebound out.

    AJ. Not sure. Love the intensity, but not sure he's bringing much else.

    If I haven’t lost 10 years of my life watching us kick for goal, then at a minimum I’ve lost 8.

    Please learn to kick goals. I beg of you.

    Gee your all a bit tough on Spargo, doing a lot better than you think. Not all about stats.

    What are you smokin? He has been dreadful! Petty not much better and A.J is a country footballer at best!

    Yep.

    I just don't get why. It's been an issue for years.

    I mean you can't fault our tackling and chasing. But I wish the club got a team of Vienna Psychiatrists in and sorted it out.

    We have worried Swans players and forced errors all day only to fuzz it all up.

    Training this week is nothing but goal kicking work and some deep hypnosis and counselling.

    As Jung said to one of the first members of AA, the only thing that will cue you is a "vital spiritual experience". Can we pick Prevost up in the mid-season draft?

    Outside of aggression AJ offers nothing

     

    If you told me before the game we'd be 22 points up at half time I would have said fantastic.

    But watching miss after miss& I still don't know whymax would handball it off to melksham at that point.

    Any danger of kicking a drop punt instead of this round the corner [censored] on the non dominant foot?

    Yep 100% agree woeful, wasteful and pathetic!

    I think he played Baseball. But I'll take anything. Even supplications to a higher power.

    Hopefully we have a good soccer training session this week to improve our goal kicking

    Aside from the general frustration, we quite obviously need percentage. If we win this we go to 11 and a win next week puts us in 10th behind freo, who has much better percentage. It’s a long season and position right now does not matter too much, but it WILL matter at some point. A 30 point win (presuming we win today), vs a 60 point win is a big difference, especially if you can string a few together.

    Let’s go boys, take that first half energy and momentum and turn it into some big early scores in the second half.

    It’s so frustrating watching a team do so much right but not capitalise on its opportunities. Hopefully we can convert better in the second half.

    Seems to struggle reading the ball.


    Time to move on from Choco and bring in a goal kicking expert. It has been our weakness for years yet we don’t make any changes.

    Absolutely and what a difference it makes. If he wasn't killing it everywhere, I'd move him to the fwd line.

    Do you know who the sub is please..can they kick goals... and is is it time?

    And Bergoglio was a more than handy soccer player.

    • 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.
