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.

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
