Incredibly bad luck for Goldie (hamstring tendon), and we'll tymiss her drive out of defence enormously.  Hopefully the return of Meg Downie for her first game at AFLW level for the year will offset this somewhat. Important game in preparation for a strong finals campaign.

    Goldrick a big loss but great to have Downie back to compensate. Hopefully she can regain sharpness quickly and be ready for finals.

    Good to have Downie back but another match would have helped. Goldie will be missed regardless. However I feel our backline has been somewhat under rated. Birch is usually good but Lampard, Colvin and Tarrant have played well. Heath is god as well and can play wing.

    Some doubt whether this game goes ahead.

    Due to a covid case in Brisbane anyone arriving from there since March 12 is required to isolate.  Lions AFLW team is still in Brisbane.

    Huge implications for the order of the top 6 if this doesn't go ahead.

    John Ralph reported just before the men's game started that the Lions women would fly down tomorrow. The women have been in a quasi bubble so are exempted from the isolation requirement.

    Heard him say, if they test negative then the game goes ahead.

    Uncertainty, doesn't help either side, though a bit more for the travellers.  

    Smash them at home Dees.

    We have been pressurising the opponents and playing like we want to win.

    Keep that, include the connection and don't miss the easy goals.

    Gay, Daisy and Hore to fire. 

    Hanks to improve after a bad one in Freo.

    Ball getters Paxman and Zanker with Mcnamara outside to control the play.

    L. Pearce, will power and leadership.

    The backline to repel them.

    Game scheduled to start in about 90 mins.  Anyone know if its going ahead or even if Brisbane arrived in Melbourne this morning?

    Unfortunately can't find anything on AFL, MFC or Lions websites, twitter.

    Anyone down at Casey?

    Just read that the game will go ahead - Lions have been given an exemption by the State Gov't.

    Roos beat Freo.

    Wouldn't mind meeting Freo in the first week of final.  Their last 3 games: unconvincing last minute win vs Carlton, loss to Dees now a loss to Roos.

    On a bright note:  Roos win snuffs out Carlton's chances of making the finals

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

    win and we'll finish 3rd or 4th (depending on the filth beating crows), lose and we'll finish 6th

    If we finish 3rd or 4th we get a Home final next week.  Heaps to play for!

    Finish 4th and we play Freo at Home.

    We've been a little labored thus far but hopefully that goal will settle us down.

    Good quarter.

    Ahead by a point. 1. 0. 6 to 1. 1. 7

    Bannan, Hanks, Hore, Zanker, Mithin, Paxman doing well.

    Backline is a wall.

    Wind was against us.

    Daisy is out injured leg, Paxman playing forward.

    Brisbane have more class inside 50. Will probably be the difference in this game.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
