The Suns will have a dip no doubt.

Stuie Dew is in the phase of his rebuild that Roosy was in in 2014. With him, he can't really drop players 4 at a time as they really have no one to replace them. That said they are building the habits this year that will hold them in good stead for years to come.

I think we should win by about 5 goals should things break our way. 18 points is the more likely winning margin.

I think we are 2 goals a quarter better.  That’s 48 point margin if we play 4 quarters.  Line by line we are a much better squad.  The only thing that will beat Melbourne today is...Melbourne.

We don't beat ourselves. That's not the Melbourne way. Well I don't. Can't speak for all of you.

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 !! 

Deeeelihghtful!

I'm out all day so I'll be keeping tabs on my phone.  As I can't discuss the game with all you wonderful* people, I'll leave you with these:

- A 5 goal win is fine.  In fact, ANY win on the road is fine.

- Dom Tyson is the best disposer of the football in the AFL and will hit target after target today.

- Don't [censored] your pants when Gold Coast kick the first and then refer to the lead up play as 'reminding you of the Mark Neeld days'

- ANB should be a long distance runner at the next Olympic Games.

- Dees to win... by 5 goals...

 

*Most of you are wonderful...

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'.

You mean 5/3  with 14 rounds to go ProDee?

I was talking about the perils of a loss.  If we lose we'll be 4/4, which would make finals difficult.

I expect a comfortable win.

I was thinking of watching the match at the Sporting Globe in Richmond. Is that a good place to watch the match? Are any other Demonlanders going there? Is it too dorky to wear a Demons' scarf? Hello, is anyone still reading this?

I see that now after re-reading your post. Gold Coast should be at least a 30 point win today and we should have a 60 point win over Carlton next week which will be big percentage boosters for us. I reckon we'll be nearing top 4 after round 9.

A must win, give the Suns a sniff and we’ll be in trouble, must get on top early and not let up, can’t afford to stop like we did against the Lions. Prodee is spot on, despite being still relatively early in the season, this is a critical game for us when it comes to finals.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
