    Those odds for the saints are too good to pass up, if we get beat at least I can win some money and if we win I won't care about the bet, win win 

    That really depends on how much your soul is worth. I'd put an extra $100 to 200 on it so you're at least gaining some level of pleasure on a Melbourne loss. Anything less and it's a bit hollow isn't it?

    Don't let Goody hear that you haven't done your pre-season uncle bitters. You need to be watching/having a glass of red with the right levels of intensity...

    Had footy training last night and sweated buckets. Humidity has dropped a little today so the players will welcome that. Also, doesn't really cool off until 6:30 or thereabouts so there'll be some exhausted blokes out there tonight.

    Most importantly, beer will be cold.

    I'm just happy that the boys don't have to back up next week for rd1.

    They beat us because:

    * They know how to move the ball easily from contested to uncontested situations, and how to prevent us doing it.

    * They know how to stifle our attacks through the corridor.

    * Their mids know where their forwards are going to run, so they don't bomb it blindly.

    If we stop playing into their hands, we'll win.

    This is a good summary. As well they know how to hand their balls on without getting caught, a la Footscray, only they don't throw it as such. They just hand it over in tight.....

    How many hours until the game starts please?  I have just arrived in Dubai, from NZ via Melbourne, add to that they are playing in West Coast, I cannot work out when the game is.  Thanks

    Should be at least 4 free kicks less to WC than normal, Shuey will have his work cut out with more attention on the ducking rule!

    I'm actually pretty pumped about tonight's game.  I know others might think we could be in for a decent loss, but we should have beaten them over in Perth last year and even though we're missing a few we're still taking a pretty strong squad over with us.  

    Their forward line could cause some havoc if our spread isn't working and we aren't winning enough clearances, but I feel as though we're taking a team over there that will be able to match them in terms of running capacity throughout the game.  I might be looking through the red and blue goggles, but I believe our midfield is a little strong than their's as well.  There is no reason why we can't win this game.

    Love the optimism WB !

    I can't wait to see Viney smash Mitchell into the turf. Jack don't care if it's preseason.

    Melbourne paying $4.00 to WC $1.26 which is interesting - thought it would be a lot closer than that.

    Makes me even happier to pop $10 on and make the game even more interesting. Go Dees!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
