Just back from the supermarket. Saw a Dees fan wearing the guernsey with pride as he’s doing the weekly shop. Great to see.

    Didn’t see the game but I’m happy Brisbane beat Adelaide in the womens final. The Crows got home finals because of a soft draw and got lucky playing us in the prelim when they did as we were exhausted from backing up against some strong teams for a few weeks straight. Brisbane had to play a few road games at the end of the H&A season due to the covid outbreak up there so they didn't have it easy. Well done to them.

    We beat both finalists so the future is bright, just need to find a KPF to help translate our possession and I50's into goals.

    That means zero we were not in the GF because we were not good enough to win the prelim. Simple really.

    I hope it was not in Collingwood or Richmond he may not make it home in one piece.

    We would have beat the Crows at Casey in a prelim. We belted just a few weeks ago there. They got lucky with their draw. Simple really.

    Rankine, Lukosius, Noah Anderson... early days but i just dont see it in any of them. 

    A shame for the Suns as they could have taken Luke Jackson instead of Anderson.  I know people will point to their stats and Andersons ball winning ability but I say see you in a few years.

    I understand what you are saying but we still did not beat crows in the prelim. Why? Not good enough when it really mattered.

    Lukosius is literally Jack Watts 2.0, sublimely skilled but weak as [censored]. Was recruited as a forward but very quickly moved to half back/wing.

    Yes I was going to compare him to Watts, you nailed it.   Rankine is lazy but thinks hes prime Jason Akermanis.

    In their defense though it would be hard being drafted to that club especially with little support for the younger players.  I guess thats why they bough in Ellis, Greenwood and the like but you have to wonder if they will ever take the next step.

    Did you give him a little "Go Dees" to show him hes not alone and you are one of his kind. I like to do that, makes me feel like i am a Freemason.

    On the day we weren't good enough. Still glad the Crows didn't win today. They had home advantage and couldn't seal the deal.

    I did. We acknowledged each other and then both continued on with our shopping.

    Hopefully there's reason for a few more Dees guernseys to start to emerge. I've been wearing the scarf to work this week and have had a few acknowledgments.

    I would've sidled up and given him a sly little "PositiveLingers" out of the corner of my mouth. You're not a real Melbourne supporter if you don't know what PositiveLingers means.

    What a crazy quarter... the Suns have turned it on.

    Just turned on the TV  - saw Sydney and some artificial team in black. Wondered who the hell it was before realising that some moron in AFL HQ must think orange clashes with white and red. 
    Certainly for those who believe in the concept of “playing for the jumper” could explain why GW$ seems so meaningless and lacking in purpose.

    Everyone had the Giants finished after round three, two great wins in a row and they are back  Footy is a funny 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      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.
