Max and Pruess 

  • Grundy is gonna get thrown to the wolves if he has to face Gawn after another 4 day break. He's been playing sore for 5-6 weeks now.
  • I’m tipping Gawn will not be 100% fit according Media reports.
  • Gawn is even more banged up than Grundy.
  • It's clear that Grundy is fatigued, and that Gawn is not 100%.
  • Gawn won’t get up it looks like. That’ll hurt Melbourne a lot.
  • Bare in mind, Preuss only hasn’t played games because he’s been behind Goldstein and Gawn! He’s no pushover!
  • Pruess will be out to hurt Grundy.
  • So if Gawn doesn’t play, it certainly levels the game up very quickly.
  • Gawn hasn't been named. Scared of getting the usual bath from Grundy, I suppose.
  • Pruess be a Poor Man Mumford by trying to Rough up Grundy.
  • Pruess isn’t a real ruck, I actually rate him, but he’s a Mumford crash and bash type who’ll try to hurt his opponent.
  • Grundy the only ruck option we have to match Pruess’s physicality.

Everything else

  • Melbourne will definitely believe their own hype going into this game. We must jump them early.
  • There's plenty of talk that they're one of the fittest teams in the competition. If that's true they could definitely cause us problems late in the game.
  • Melbourne aren't a fast side - especially their on-ballers.
  • Thomas and Mihocek have always caused Melbourne big headaches. Could Dunn play forward?
  • Melbourne is a genuine opponent. We need our best players on the park against them.
  • It's Melbourne. Smash into the contest, choke their ball movement and they'll capitulate.
  • The way to beat Melbourne is to pressure the ball carrier. Their kicking is usually quite suspect. Hopefully Maynard blankets Petrecca.
  • Norf showed the blueprint to beat us last year. Play the man hard and we go to pieces.
  • Melbourne don't have a great record at the Gabba. Their last 6 games there have been loses. In contrast, we have won most of our recent games there.
  • Who plays on Petracca? Greenwood would be handy right now to play a lockdown role on him.
  • I just hope we belt this pathetic mob on Saturday evening.
  • Hope we lose to show what a disaster our match committee is.
  • Let’s omit our second highest goal scorer and keep two forwards who don’t score in the team.
  • The only thing Ben Reid brings to ground is himself in a marking contest. Worst forward in the competition.

    Can't disagree with any of this. Let's hope we prove them wrong.

    It is actually filth park.

    The remark about the gabba stirred some interest.

    I stopped reading when some bloke said our last 6 games at the GABBA have been losses 

    We won twice at the Gabba in 2018 by a combined total of about 100 points.

    The filth have no connection with Victoria Park other than their VFL side plays home games there.

    Wrong. They have a historical connection - that’s their birthplace and their original home. The MCG is ours and we should never let them forget it (even when we play them on foreign soil).

    "It’s a big week for Darcy Cameron this week. The tall forward finally arrived on to the scene with a strong performance. Now all eyes are on him to back it up with another strong performance. It’s all set up for him to put up a strong performance, with the Demons backline undermanned and struggling."

    Last time I checked our backline was doing ok?

    Would it be possible to fit another "strong performance" into a paragraph of that size?

    Ha I didn't even notice.  Sounds ridiculous now you've pointed it out.  Think I was too busy shaking my head at the assertion our backine is struggling.

    Haven't conceded more than 40 points in the last two games.

    Who are these flogs writing these poor articles?

    Another thing that surprises me is opposition supporters don't seem to rate Oliver.  There's always talk of Gawn and Petracca, and to a lesser extent Brayshaw and Viney.  Any theories?

    They believe that Oliver isn't damaging, despite his elite stats.  That was fairly true until about 3 weeks ago. 

    They haven't seen the 'new' Clarry at work.  They are in for a big surprise!! 

    He will thrash their hobbling midfield.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
