I think Demons by 24.

I was going to do some gym but my knees and back have packed up. I hope my decision to watch the game is a wise one.


Suns out roof open roof closed today? 

First gameday for 2018 when I haven't felt 'edgy' first thing in the morning, so I'll treat it as a positive omen.  Demons by 7 goals.

    It's the wife's birthday so I can't make it.... might try sneak a few quarters on TV.

    Really got to come out and put the Saints away. There are no stand out sides in this competition and everyone seems to be inconsistent (except the Tigers and Eagles). So we've got a huge chance over the next 3 weeks to establish ourselves as contenders.

    Hope @Joshis okay - not like him not to kick off the match day thread at 5am or some other ungodly hour that normal people are still asleep!

    All good, wife was away last night and the boys stayed asleep. Woke at 4 but amazingly fell back asleep. 

    No doubt I won't be able to sleep tonight now.

    Hoping Petracca can tear it up and Dee's for an easy win.

     

    I was scared of St Kilda because this is a game we should win, and they drew against the GIANTS 2 weeks ago.... But then I saw what Geelong did to them Friday night and I’m feeling pretty good.

    Gawn will dominate the ruck once more and with the hitouts-to-advantage fixed we should be pretty confident about this game. Carn the Dee’s!

    GWS had a few more of their stars playing against the Saints. GWS were in control all day but couldn't break free of  a close tackling St Kilda. Saints had a 3 goal burst at the end of the game and GWS missed a couple of easy ones...

    Saints should be an easy one if we profess to going anywhere this season... no excuses

    Max's record against St Kilda is pretty ordinary, so it'll be interesting to see how the ruck duel goes.

    I'm scared of any game. We're yo-yos..... even within the one game.

    Ill be glad to just get the 4 points

    Lets hope the umpires don't give lots of frees against Max like his 'straight arm' ruck work, like last time we played the saints- wasn't it StK that complained to the AFL about Max's style not long before the game.  Poor sportsmanship compounded by the AFL/umpires blindsiding the mfc and Max about his 'faulty' technique.

    Hope Max wreaks some revenge.  And hope we we thrash them for their poor sportsmanship in whinging to the AFL. 

    Dees with a percentage boosting win!

    The Saints have had a week of 'soul searching' and 'home truths' so I'd expect them to come out hard.  Withstand their early flurry, get the game on our terms, and then let our superior talent dictate terms.

    Saints being smashed by all media. If our boys dont match the intensity early and put scoreboard pressure on early...

     

    Honestly think saints by 27

    These are the games we have to win to be a genuine finals contender. If we don’t we are [censored]. We have to remain in the positive for the win/loss ledger. Go Dees..

    The St Kilda team looks very ‘vanilla’ on paper - we just have to beat them if we’re serious about taking the next step and making finals this year.

    Apart from Viney and Salem, we have a pretty strong team and should win.

    I think it’ll be a close one - maybe only a kick in it.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
