As the wild and woolly weather persists in Victoria, the Demons should benefit from playing in Brisbane where the sun shines most of the time and pleasant conditions are expected.

Go Demons!

Am on the Northern Rivers - given how bloody cold it is here today with a Southern Ocean-esque freezing Souwesterly, the dees should feel right at home! Freezing!

 

PS - be grateful it's on telly in Melb - it's not on the Coffs broadcast! ?

Why isn't this game in Cairns ?? I'm in Port Douglas now and I would go to watch them in a heartbeat if it were in Cairns. As it is, I'll be watching it with FND at the Central Hotel in Port Douglas as the coconut palms sway in a gentle tropical zephyr. 

This is our day people !!

I live in East Brisbane about 400  metres from the Gabba.  It was very windy here yesterday although fine and sunny. Looks pretty much the same today although a tad cooler. Wind at this stage not as strong as yesterday. The Gabba surface should be just about perfect for the game.

The Victorian based fans will be easy to spot. They will be the ones in short sleeved shirts with sunscreen on their faces. Us acclimatised and transplanted wannabe banana benders will be wearing jackets! Brrrrrr!

Heading up from the GC to take my 3 year old to her first game!!! 

Is there anywhere to park close to the game or is the train/bus really the only way into the gabba?

Crap wish I had your confidence Pineapple. To me this is definition of classic Melbourne DANGER GAME!!!  We are the better team on paper, are favourites to win, should win and pretty much everyone on here expects to win. What could possibly go wrong....

See you at the Central.

why not Collingwood supporters get most of their games for free.

It's just another way in which the powerful clubs become more so and have done so for the last twenty years.

This is a must win game.  I don't believe we play finals without beating a Gold Coast team without Tom Lynch.  Nor would an aspiring finals team deserve to be finalists with a loss today.

Most importantly, we'll be 4/4 with 14 rounds to go.  We'd need to win a minimum of 8 matches from the 14 (preferably 9) to play finals with two games against Adelaide scheduled, a game at Kardinia Park, games against Sydney and the Giants (the latter will have plenty of players back by round 23), and a game against West Coast in Perth, but this time with Naitanui and Kennedy.

There will basically be no wriggle room to make finals with a loss today.

I think we'll win and win well, but a loss will most likely mean 'season over'.

Difference is, they know we Melbourne supporters can afford Foxtel if we chose to get it, filth supporters... well, they probably steal IQ boxes and try and insert them in their ears.

Second week in a row that I've woken up on gameday without a dose of pre-match nerves.  The formula worked well last week, so I'll stick with it and say we'll win comfortably.  More seriously, that's exactly what we must do if we have finals aspirations.  Anything less and we are no more than pretenders.  Just do it Dees!

Hopefully a good solid win building on what was a very reasonable performance last week albeit the scoreline flattered us with the Saints appalling set shot kicking.

Looking forward to Brayshaw delivering a solid game on the back of his BOG last week. Would like to see the Weid get more of it in the first half than in previous weeks.

Another game we can not take lightly. Suns arent as bad as people think. They have some real talent, its just whether they actually can gel together.

A must win game and another next week and we are right back in the fold for top 8.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
