Bit of a banana peel game today. Not sure it will be as easy as some are suggesting. And Clarry may need sunfactor 500

Well, game day after what has seemed to be an interminable wait. Foxtel today in the lounge - a fresh six-pack of KilkennyAle to encourage deep thoughts during the game, some camembert and crackers, and a big expectation for a win of around 5 goals. Lookout 7th position on the ladder - here we come! 

Gold Coast to prove a real nuisance for 2 and a half quarters before we kick away for a reasonably comfortable win is my tip

 

Be foolish to take this game lightly.

Dew is far foxier than Goodwin. He just hasnt the list (yet) 

I expect Suns to rty and expose our weaknesses early.

Junk time will be our nemesis again.

Hows the site holding up? Noticed its been down a bit lately, is there anything we can do to help? Is it time to pass the hat around agin i wonder.


No science here but I reckon we've got this one by 4 goals

It's never a bad time to pass the hat around. As to the outages I have no ideas what's been causing them. 

Decent ins for the Gold Coast, having May back is huge for them.

Haven’t seen them play this year, so not sure what Dew has in the trick bag, and not sure how well they defend. But we have them comfortably covered on every line. Tipping a demons win 1-39.

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 !! 

pinacolada dee!

The Central was my host venue for our triumphant 2000 prelim vs the Roos - watching on a 30 inch TV screen, barefoot and topless in a cloud of cigarette smoke - though I couldn't face being in public for the GF, so watched the misery from my $200 p/w house on top of the hill overlooking the whole of Four Mile and beyond.

Things have changed rather somewhat since our last sniff of success. Though I would bet Helen is still at the Central.

 

dees by a truck load.at least 10 goals or more very confident

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.

No hires today ? ;)

I tend to agree. We dont bury sides..remember, according to some on here anyway. It will come tho i think. Dees 1-39 for me too.

What part Skuit? Yes space is a highly sort after commodity in Amsterdam, 60m2 is not bad. I always dreamed of a houseboat, but impossible now. Hope to be there in July/August.

thanks .. was thinking much the same during the week. Went down I think for the third quarter last week as well as shorter outages during the week.

Happy to give a little if it helps. This is a fantastic site as are the posters !

Go Dees


Must win the next 2 with one comfortably. Carlton worry me for some reason.

when teams go defensive as Carlton did last year and Suns may do today, our game plan does not stand up very well as we just end up with a super crowded forward line from which the other side escapes occasionally and scores.

Hopefully as in last week we relax the press a little and open up our forward line to allow it to function.

We just don’t seem to play well against Carlton. I would love to thrsh em. Anyhow get the GC game over 1st

  • 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.

  • 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.
