So who do we think plays on dusty in the goal square. Hibberd? Jones follow him all the way? Shirley not Vince?

I'd go with Jetta.

 

I'm backing the Weid to kick 2-3 goals tonight.  I'd love him to step up and show that he belongs at this level.  Him doing this gives us not only another tall target up forward, but also takes the pressure off others and gives us greater flexibility through the midfield in terms of giving Hogan and Petracca more minutes in there.

I think this will be a really close, hard fought contest that will go right down to the wire.  I'm praying to the football gods that we're the ones to be in front when the final siren rings.  

Go Dees!

Would be a disastrous choice based on Jetts' current form.

Still, i have no real idea who to start on him.

Fingers and toes crossed he doesnt carve us up.

I can't argue against the fact that he isn't in great form, but I don't see Jetta allowing it to go on for too long.  He's quick enough and strong enough to compete with him down forward, but at the same time, Dusty could carve up most players he matches up on, so whoever get the job will need some support.

Bit worried about Oscar Macdonald and Wagner up against strong forwards.

Dees by a rousing 5 goals.

Yeah, you are right in that it doesnt matter who we choose to put on him, Dusty is gonna do Dusty stuff. I agree that Jetts should find form eventually, but it just seems to me to be too great a risk to hope that tonight is the game he (Jetta) finds form. It will only take 20 mins for Martin to put us away if he isnt closed down.

I believe we CAN win, but the brain says Richmond will win by a few after we put up a fight for 3. qtrs.

Im already hitting the sponsors cheapest whiskey in the hope it makes the game bearable.

Wagner may be able to perform a purely negating role on the dusty up foward. Although summary reckons he will play more through the midfield. I would like to see Jones play a role

Is there 50000 still waiting to get in? 

If you want to experience what finals is all about then it starts tonight Dees..

 

The rest is up to you fellas.

Ignorantly, I had hoped AFL live pass would work when overseas. God dammit! ?

Vince warming up with the mids.

  • 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.

  • 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.
