Another typical Robbo display.

A few cheap goals in the last quarter when the game is well and truly over.

This bloke is a joke. I have well and truly had enough of him.

    Can't believe we traded TJ and kept Robbo?!?!?!

    Both should have gone!

    G.Lyon..... What the hell were you thinking when you talked him into staying?!?!?! :o

    He is playing terribly at the moment and should be dropped.

    But he is also leading our goal kicking. Just how bad is our forward line??

    It's interesting that you can call Robbo out for kicking some goals when the game was over, yet Sylvia is a gun for picking up a few possessions across the half back line when the heat was well and truly out of the game.

    It could be argued the Robbo finally had some decent delivery into a foward line left vacant largley to himself, and he could be running into some form.

    I have calmed down and taken a deep breath. Robbo is down on confidence and he is a confidence player. He has been selfish of late but today he did chase and tackled. Sometimes he missed with the tackles but he was not Robinson Crusoe. I actually thought he played ok - not brilliantly. I am not considering his goals because as you say they were basically given to him. I am talking about his leading, his marking and teamplay (going up to congratulate and encourage teamates). I am not a huge fan of him but feel I should defend him on today's game.

    Ps. Not in my best 6 this week before you come down hard on me.

    • 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.
