    Just try it......

    “I want to see Daniher put a knee into the back of Gawn when Gawn decides to drop back in the hole in our forward 50. We can't let him drift back and take marks untouched, we at least need to make him earn it and expect there to be heavy contact coming.”

    Daniher is a fairy. He'll go missing but bob up in the last!

    None of that is too unreasonable.

    I prefer it when opposition supporters are feral flogs ...

    More from big footy;


    “Number of goal kickers for Melbourne round 7 to 11 -
    7 5 8 11 8 average 7.8
    and for us 9 11 10 9 13. Average 10.4
    simply doesn’t matter who they shut down, we can still get goals. Them, not so much.
    might be another night for Mitch and matho to shine.”

     

    Matho??

     

    “They have a very good top 3 as do we, overall looks pretty even, who ever wants it more will get on top.
    Some possible match ups? >
    James Madden > Kysaiah Pickett.
    Harris Andrews > Sam Weideman.
    Marcus Adams > Tom McDonald.
    Brandon Starcevich > Bayley Fritsch.
    LIONS to slay the Demons.”

     

    “Dogs can be easily rattled with high pressure around the ball, we will thrive in that but need to make sure we don’t have a lazy start like we did against the Tigers the week before.”


     

    “I'd like us to recognize where Gawn is and kick it to another option where he isn't. I've seen a few of the Melbourne games so far this year & it never ceases to amaze me that he is often at the drop of an opposition kick. Oliver for me is the most dangerous with Petracca close behind. I believe we stop those 3 and we will win.”

     

    “Andrews on Weideman. Adams on McDonald. Lester on Fritsch. Starcevich on Pickett. McStay to play a defensive forward role on Lever - stop him from intercepting marks.”



    “Langdon is a big out for them.Wins a lot of ball and provides a great run around the ground. I wouldn't risk Neale, with the bye coming up give him that extra couple weeks rest. We can afford to rest him another week winning 7 straight.”

     
     

    “The one side who were able to beat Melbourne this year, did so by taking the game on through the middle of the ground and using their run and handball game to break run through the zone. I don't think we have the personnel off half back to successfully play a similar way. I suspect we're going to rely on Rich and Birchall hitting up a player in the middle of the zone to break it up, or continue to go down the line and hope we at least 50/50 the contest.”

    Only one guarantee - we will be swearing at Rhys “Free Kicks: 15-2” Mathieson when he gets his 8th free kick for dropping the knees.

    Agree but most of their other payers aren't. I was at Metricon last year us V Lions and all they did was bump, push, scrag Gawn off the ball all game. Umpires did nothing so no doubt they will do same and we can only hope the Umpires do something this time.

    That would be a very smart move IMO.

    Who is in their top 3 they refer to? I don't expect Neale to play.  Zorko, McCluggage ???  I strongly prefer Petracca and Oliver.

    They are a very very good side, and much more even across the ground than the Dogs, who outside of their midfield are only average. 

    IMO they could easily snag the flag this year, and we must show the same intensity and application as we did against the Dogs, or we will get cut up.

    No Langdon is a massive loss. I really don't know if we can win it without him. Need some massive games from our small forwards to ensure we keep the ball locked inside our forward 50 as much as possible, so the Lions don't go for a quick kick down the wing to try and open us up without Langdon.

    Langdon was quiet last week and we won?

    Bricks. Old yellow bricks, crumbling with age in a garden-wall; the sweet breath of young cows standing in a mountain-stream; the lead roof of a dove-cote — or perhaps a granary — with the mid-day sun on it; black kid gloves lying in a bureau-drawer of walnut-wood; a dusty road with a horses’ drinking-trough beneath the sycamores; little mushrooms bursting through the rotting leaves; and — and — and — not parsnips.

    There are two points of difference between the sides: 1. They have more goal kicking options; 2. We have Gawn.  I expect they'll come hard at Max, as they did last year.  How the team handles that will tell us a lot.  I like our defensive match ups on their forwards and our system should hold firm against their style.

    And this is the answer to your question, “...what’s Fonzie like?”

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.
