This game was awful. 
West Coast are just cruising into the top 8 on the back of playing at Boo Stadium. Will bother absolutely nobody at the MCG. Can’t stand this club.

    Their gone tu, all over for 2021 they are just making up the numbers.

    They've only got two top 8 sides left for the year, so their only shot really is to win all of the other 8 games (GWS (away), Adelaide, Fremantle (away), Collingwood, North Melbourne, St Kilda, Gold Coast, GWS again).

    It's not going to happen.

    You can't "honourably lose" eight times in the first half of the year and expect to make finals.

    They have no excuse with their list profile, either. Disastrous.

    You have to give them credit for winning that game with the quality of players they had out, on a ground they hadn't won at for 20 years.

    We'll see how they go next week vs Richmond at home though. Will be a significantly sterner test than Carlton.

    Carlton have several injuries too. 
    Credit sure but god they are so dull. Offensive jumper. Offensive song. Offensive supporters. 

    As soon as McKay was subbed out it was game over. Carlton was up to their neck in it until that point. 
    Adjusting your forwardline mid game is very hard. Especially when your key forward goes down.

    I don’t mind the Blues! Rather them win than WCE.

    Carlton's current injury list features: Cuningham, C Curnow, Durdin, Gibbons, Marchbank, OMac, McGovern, Philp and Plowman (suspended). Of those there are about three best 22 players: C Curnow, Marchbank and Plowman.

    West Coast's current injury list: Allen, Cameron, Duggan, Kelly, Kennedy, McGovern, Shuey, Venables, Winder, Witherden. That's 7 best 22 players and at least 5 of them are better than the three missing Carlton players.

    The talent missing from West Coast's side is incomparable to that missing from Carlton's. If it were Melbourne not Carlton, this board would be disgusted.

    Umpire 22 is still the worst umpire in the game. Just hopeless. 
     

    Freo applying nice pressure.

    I take nothing away from their injury list. And Carlton are very ordinary. But I see nothing in West Coast that worries me.

    Now that's a different topic.

    Right now I'd like our chances against West Coast, although it's still 9 weeks until we play them, and almost all their injured players will be back by then, on current estimates.

    Still, their ball movement is the sort that we can defend well, slower and more methodical.

    Yeah they are not a quick team or a young team. They can afford to move the  ball slowly because their tall towards are so good in the air. 
     

    Freo is so infuriating. They do a lot right and their pressure is excellent. But their ball use going inside 50 is trash. 
     

    Brayshaw is their best player along with Mundy. No idea what is up with Fyfe. Done nothing.

    Freo are a red hot chance here. Just need to apply some more scoreboard pressure and the crowd might get them home

    West Coast have underperformed significantly this year, but they still have one of the most talented lists in the league. If their injury issues ease up I could see them building back some consistency and confidence.

    Yeah the guy with the blonde hair. 
     

    Freo’s kicking inside 50 kills my soul. 
    Every time they go forward I’m screaming at them to be better. It’s sadly not working

    Well the difference in this game is Dogs have a handful of absolute stars like Bont. And Freo can’t do anything forward of the Centre. So yeah.

    Watching this is giving me PTSD of we needed Freo to beat the Dogs to make the 8 last year

    If Freo butchered the ball 50% less going inside 50 they would be in the 8 easily.

    • 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.
