wow - what on earth has happened to jvr?

marks the ball on the wing, again under zero pressure, and just kicked to NO ONE in the middle of the ground

He’s our own Ben Simmons.

Geez the umps are not great

geez, who's the james harden we're going to trade him for, then?

adams + lever + plugger mac is one of the slowest, more clumsy tall defensive trios who have played together

Jesse Craven gutsy mark goal kick a trifle short.

Suns got the begging bowl out (again) free kick, umpire mind reading player intentions.

Jake Lever having some better moments.

JVR good lead and mark.

Cream to Craven goal!!!


The only nice thing I have to say is JVR knows how to deliver the ball so a forward leads.

windsor offering some nice overlap run; hits two passes as a result

jvr laces it out to fullarton; on the boundary, natch... who goes across the face from 30m out on the boundary, and craven kicks a goal off the ground

back to 11 points the diff

Can't say Roo is having a great game but he's shown some nice kicking inside 50, two nice goal assists this quarter

 

Craven attempt goal successfull - 11 points down

Commentator must be calling off a TV, as seconds behind the vision.

Umpires can’t bounce can’t adjudicate correctly. What is the point?

Meanwhile Suns blowing Casey away.

Some experienced players lowering their colours.

Opposition just working harder with better skills.

DeeZone sad face please.

Had their chances but blew it late again - 23 points down at 3QT

3QT Gold Coast Suns VFL 12.5.77 lead Casey Demons 8.6.54

Goals Kentfield 3 Fullerton 2 Billings Craven van Rooyen

Disposals Bonner 21 Billings 18 Baldi Hardie 16

For those not watching, after getting close Leo Lombard unleashed in the middle. He is fast and skilful, showing up both Brown & Laurie for their lack of speed. Lever is busy pointing holes in the air but should perhaps consider getting the ball. With so many AFL-listed players, I hate to say we are getting pantsed.

Lets hope they have the right combination in the firsts because this combination is not quick enough or skilled enough. GCS system is much better as well and they run to space and sprint to it.

I'm having strong flashbacks of my Melbourne high footy career, such as it was:

  • very early game, hours before the ones strut their stuff

  • absolutely woeful standard

My year Captaining the Gentlemens 18 (4ths) under Tiger Reid in 81 was my career zenith at MHS!

Billy the Kid goal!!!


JB you’ve done it again goal!!!

 

JVR with another lace out to Kentfield.

  • 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.
