Not great is it?

Hope both boys recover quickly.

It's not great that they have concussion. But it is great that they're not playing for their own sake. I've said it before: no player who is concussed should play the following week under any circumstances.

[GCDee 3,064]

With a young family and living on the Gold Coast this will be the only game I'll be getting along too this year so I'm bloody excited (the only exception is if we make the GF and my partner knows I'll be on the first plane to Melbourne leaving her with the baby) 

I think Hogan and or watts will tear GC a new one. They just simply will not be able to cover our tall forwards. Expecting 12 goals between these two..

My prediction Dee's by 40

What's the bet Ablett demolishes us.

Didn't last year. Lets have faith that the dees mids will work together to work him over.

Curb Ablett ( 25 touches or less ) and Lynch and we're a chance

We’re preparing for Suns’ best: Jones

 

FFS can the club please give this stupid cliche a rest.

Have heard it before every single game. Say the same thing before every game and it simply has no meaning.

Just go out and win.

The sad thing is that we always seem to lose when we "prepare for the opponents best". Despite that, I'm optimistic the Dees will pull through on Saturday.

It's certainly the new cliche players and coaches like to roll out.  

I've heard it used plenty of times this year not only by the Demons.  It seems to have really caught on.

We've been playing sides coming off bad losses. Every week a journo asks them about they think the opposition will respond. Nothing wrong with being consistent in your approach. How would you like them to answer?

Yoiu know whats annoying?  When we beat Gold Coast we will still be 9th!  Adelaide and Doggies play each other but have huge percentages

We would need the TIgers to beat Hawthorn to be in the 8 after Round 7

With plain old fashioned honesty and not the same stupid corporate cliches.

We have been asked the same question practically every match for a decade now, and its just this year that we have been parroting this lame line.

 

Find some new material.

The answers do become tiresome. 

But that's because the questions are tiresome.

Matt Burgan asks questions that result in answers like that unfortunately.

The better the questions, the better the answers.

Would you prefer them to not prepare for the opposition's best? 

Or would you prefer them to be dishonest to the media? 

Those are really your only two options.

I agree. We should be preparing for their worst or at best a middling performance.

True, id be happily annoyed at 4-3 with a percentage over 100 a third of the way through the season

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,762]

Doesn't necessarily mean he is in though more than likely. Pies upgraded Cox and didn't pick him

[GoldMember 15]

Yes Viv may well be a travelling Emergency...doubt it though- i think he'll be in.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Viv will be in as well as Oliver you would expect. Would be [censored] if that means ANB won't get a chance.
