Surprised we see no Rivers - and also surprised to see Moloney out. I didn't think he was the worst by a long shot.

 
I hope this isn't a sick joke.

Petterd and Moloney dropped?

seems a bit stupid

Great no Rivers again.

How the hell did Moloney get dropped. He's one of our only players with balls.

And how did Weetra and Garland survive.


Colour me perplexed. Surprised Moloney was dropped, but not that surprised Petterd was dropped. Young or not, his game the other day was average.

Glad Yze is out, and happy with all the ins. Disappointed about no Rivers though. Hope it's not bad news.

I would have been happy to see Petterd get another crack, and am happy that Garland and Weetra have been given another opportunity.

I don't care about the rest of the team as long as Yze got dropped. Thank goodness for that!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm speechless. This makes absolutley no sense to me except for Yze.


Hmm.. cant say Im upset to see Adem 'rested' in the Magoos... Am suprised about Petterd...maybe hes a bit underdone after all. I dont think Weetra deserved to go down ( not compared to others ) Moloney :blink::wacko:

How isnt Rivers a starter ??

For the answers to these and other questions....go see him >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> :huh:

On the positive side, you've got to love those ins

All 3 will be important contributors to our side in 08

Cannot believe Moloney was dropped. What is the match committee on? (I can only hope this is some attempt to manage his OP by not pushing him too hard too early)

Rivers not in - are we tanking already...

Moloney dropped! he was the only one that tried!

We must be tanking!

i refuse to believe that moloney has been dropped. Maybe he didnt pull up 100% given he did miss most of last year??

good to see bartram, sylvia, and dunn in, high hopes for all 3

rivers and wheels next week hopefully


I don't think Moloney would have been dropped... which can only mean one thing.... injury. ARGH!!!

Where the hell is Rivers? :(

Very disappointed to see Moloney dropped. He was clearly one of our better players. Although on the positive side, Yze getting dropped is a good thing - as is seeing Sylvia, Dunn and Bartram in.

'belzebub59', it may be that rivers is pulling up a little sore after VFL matches, if so they may think he won't stand up to the the extra stresses of AFL YET. :(

Rivers?

Wow Why!!!

Yze out good!

Moloney out!???? WTF!!! he was one of the best!!! Surely this cant be for on-field performance? Maybe off-field!! Only reason i can think off!!!

I think you may be right Jaded.

Dean's playing a bit of funny buggers IMO...

Moloney, dropped? Ahead of Bruce, Green, Wheatley, White, Robertson and the plethora of other 'hacks' from last weeks performance...

You've got to be kidding... !

He's in the emergencies though. Sure he's injured?

We'll see if he plays for Sandy this week or not.

I can't believe they would have dropped him. He was probably one of our best out there.

Absolute stupidity to drop two young players in Moloney and Petterd, who both had reasonable games, and leave in a whole host of senior players who are not pulling their weight (for a change :rolleyes: ).

Moloney :blink::wacko:

Yes shame no Rivers, and with that Full Forward line the Doggies are going to be running the ball out of defence so fast my heads spinning already.

Surely DB is having a lend of us, we could not possibly line up like that and be serious about winning! :wacko:

Petterd was rubbish on the weekend. IMO he was worse than either of Green or Bruce (which is clearly what you're getting at). Yes he had plenty of friends, but I certainly wouldn't have described his game as "reasonable". Young or not.

I've got no explanation about Moloney though, assuming no injury. I didn't think he was bad enough to be dropped.

The fact is he still has shown a lot more than Garland and Weetra.

  • 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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
