Bruce, again, did play well on Brad Johnson. But guess what, our 'premier' midfielder needed to play in the middle if we were going to have a crack, as simply trying to hold on offence would always have left us for dead. As noted, he did well on Johnson, then moved to the middle of the ground and did crap all. Not to mention shirking two contests within a few moments in the first quarter as the Dogs began to get on top of us.

Probably doesn't need to be dropped because i don't think this would get through to him, nor do i think he can seriously lift his game, but rather i think Bailey or other coaching staff need to sit him down and talk of a more consistent role he can play, because it is not in the middle

    Bring on round 7 when Dean Bailey and the match commitee decide which players are our future, White, Bruce, Miller enjoy a flag at Sandy. I would get 20 touches playing on a wing by myself like White has for the past 3 years. Bruce doesn't have the skill to be able to play under Bailey, maybe we treat him like Holland only bring him in for the Brad Johnson match up two games a year.

    Yze Magic I actually agree with you these three are our past time to move on. Mclean will get better.

    Bruce doesn't have the foot skills to be apart of Baileys game plan. He can get it just can't hit targets. We have to be honest and realise that Cam Bruce has been a good player for the club but will not help us win a premiership as he will be retired before we can build a team to challenge. Do we keep him or try and get a second round pick for him and really start to build our team for the future. If we keep him he will be another Yze.

    Jeff White is still a very good player, Down on from and confidence like alot of others.....

    I would just about go as far as to say he is close to being our best kick in the team.... I dont understand why we dont give him more ball and let him be like big Cox from the Weagles.....

    I think that we've failed to utilise him too often in the past. Often he'd make good position through the centre, and doesn't have bad disposal.

    I thought Jeff White had one of his better games on the weekend - felt he was the best ruckman on the ground and managed to pick up some kicks around the ground. also kicked two goals, something we have been screaming out for him to do.

    Brock maclean would be very disappointed in that performance - why drop him? let him play this week and see his response to a poor game. this may show some leadership and also some character of who we hope he is

    cameron bruce - is still deemed by outsiders to be one of our elite players. he plays on brad johnson and usually hands him the soap... he has to be played in the midfield when fully fit. yes his disaposal has not been waht it used to be but surely you do not lose your skills overnight!! i will back this bloke in...

    robbo - has disappointed me this season. i thought that over summer and his comments, that we could expect anew robbo, etc.. what we see is someone that appears to be selfish and not doing the team orientated things good teams and players do.

    every player needs to do their part - beat their direct opponents or break even, use the football effectively and not butcher it, be unselfish and do the one percenters, the running off the ball to make space, shepherding, tackling and playing with more passion and intensity!!

    It may be time for some of our senior players to spend some time in Sandy, but i don't think this is the week to do it

    Its the toughest assignment in football, and we have to do everything we possibly can to avoid a similar scorline to the last few weeks

    We may not be able to win it, but i still think the side is capable of giving them a shake

    Kids like Weetra, Garland, Maaric, Martyn - would not gain a thing by playing this game. Just would have the best seats in the house to watch an awesome team play.

    This week my ins would be Rivers, Whelan, Yze and Holland (if available).

    We've won the toss twice this season!!! <_<

    Cox is faster and has better foot skills

    • 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.

      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.
