    Was lying in bed cursing this faruking lockdown and trying to remember A: what day it is and B: what appointment I had after 4pm today. After checking my reminders and a bit of light surfing, I realized we are playing at 4 something or other today. What a strange time to play footy midweek

    Alas there will be no smoking meat for Josh today, I'll be farming the pig instead of eating it, but go the Dee's none the less.

    Do have a nice big brisket lined up for father's day morning though.

    Game day !!! Had forgotten until I saw the thread! 
    How many times can Dees supporters think off where we’ve won the difficult game ( aints ),  only to give back any advantage , by losing the supposed easier game?

    We won’t want to let our guard down this arvo !!!

    The Swans can’t score and our defence is peaking, there’s no way we can lose this game. Sydney by 27.

    I see there's a bit of MFCSS virus still lurking about Uncle.  Nothing a good Shiraz won't flush out!

    I'd recommend giving it a fair shake well before the bounce.  Finished the remainder of my Wolf Blass grey off on the weekend PRIOR to the match and it worked a treat... anxiety quashed!

    I'm having flashbacks of our loss to them in 2018, but I feel as though we've matured since then.  Plus our back line and overall team defence are in a better spot as well.

    Dees by 5 goals.

    4:40pm on a Thursday, I could get used to this.

    They are missing a significant amount of good players from that team.

    I am a little concerned about Papley. Im not sure who gets the gig but I hope they shut him down.

    One day Weid is going to breakout and kick a big bag of yummy goodies. Hope it is today.

    Funny time slot. We better win because its not a good look being 3 sheets to the wind b4  5.

     

    6 goal margin in our favor which is the same number that Weid kicks as well as the number of comfort franks I eat b4 halftime and the square root of Oliver's possies.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Things to watch for:

    Are we running hard enough to defend and reset the zone behind the ball?  This is a key indicator if we are on our game or not.

    Are we winning the contest / clearance?  For a team that prides itself on this, we have sucked at this for many weeks now.

    Do we have reasonable disposal to advantage, or do we play hot potato?  One works, the other makes me want to spew.

    Do we have enough presence forward of the ball to offer a suitable target (s)?

    Honestly, if we lose this one, we only have ourselves to blame.  Think it will be 42 points Dees win.

    What will the conditions be like? 

    26° at game start and maybe 23° at games end. Humidity is forecast to be 68% which is typical winter conditions up here. 
    Breeze blowing to the northern end. It will be a good coin toss for Max to win

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.
