1 and a half quarters of footy - Lions make a 13 goal turnaround against the Power. I reckon the Power folks must feel a bit like us.

Ah yes, where was it Bailey learnt his trade?

    He learnt his trade at Essendon (Premiership) and then Port Power (Premiership)....

    Jesus some people say such stupid things!

    All this Bailey Bashing is wearing thin already!

    Lions are not THAT bad a side. These things happen in footy. Port has a similar list to us. Many ageing/fading vets, and some handy kids who are still a bit too green to take the game on.

    A coach is NEVER responsible for a 13 goal turnaround. That is the players!

    As for Bails, this season is just a tester, seeing who is worth their weight on the list. We shall see a bit more next season when he has the correct tools he needs to carry out his game plan.

    By the way, those who watched last night's Port-Brisbane game would have seen some of the best ever reasons why and why not to have traded Travis Johnstone. That was the most Travis Johnstone-like game I've seen him play in a long time.

    With Black and Power tacking the best tags, TJ is in heaven.

    Plus Lappin and kicking to Brown and Bradshaw. TJ's performance this year has no relevance to the decision to trade him. The previous ten seasons do.

    He got sacked at Essendon. Port are an average team who overacheived last year. The board thought they were so smart with their state of the art interviewing saying how awesome it was, now look where we are ? It is he only reason why he got the job because how can their interviewing process be state of the art if the most obvious candidate (Sheedy) gets the job? Well done to Garry and all the other clowns on killing the club and you better get used to the Bailey bashing because it is here to stay until he gets the ass I'm praying that it is sooner rather than later. Johnstone in the best again and Bailey thought he wasn't better than a pick 14 (you know the cripple with the bad back). What else could Bailey possibly stuff up this year ?

    Quite amazing just how quickly Matthews anc co. have rebuilt the Lions

    After 3 flags, they had a quiet patch and now they are a force again

    Hard not to repect a great team like that. I am jealous to be honest.

    • 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.
