    Not a walk-up win at all. Gold Coast have a good system, and players are finally learning to play to it. Midfield battle will be very, very good. Our forwards will be the difference.

    • Brown is looking like he will challenge for the Coleman medal.
    • Fritsch the freak is difficult to manage.
    • Spargo and ANB work so hard and run their opponents into the ground.
    • Kozzie is primed to tear a game apart. 

    On top of this, it is impossible to counter both Trac and Bang-Bang Oliver running forward at stoppages. 

    Dees by 28 points in a wet grind.

    This is a danger game, particularly early in the season in wet and greasy conditions. They are hard but not slick at the contest and have some forwards with tricks at the fall of the ball that can be tough when on. Our maturity and elite endurance should allow us to come over the top but anyone that thinks this is not a danger game early in the season may end up with a surprise. 

    And there's the old dland I've come to know and love.😁 but I'm with you.

    But it's hard to gauge opposition in the early stages I guess.

    Enjoy the game lrfe.

    I am a trident member and don't have access to away games. Anyone have spare tickets I can use for the game?

    Happy to offer my Trident seats for home games in return as I only go to 2-3 MCG games a year.  I live in Brisbane.

    Should win this easily. 
    Just like we should have beaten Adelaide last year.

    This is exactly the sort of match the dees lose - beat a top team and then drink our own bathwater, get ahead of ourselves and falter the next week against bottom team.

    Hold on a minute... how did that post from 2019 appear? Weird tech issue alert

    Your poor old Uncle Bitter had planned to give Metricon a boost by attending in person. Unfortunately ........you know.. circumstances changed..... and spectating shall take place in the The Manor's modest theatrette. Hopefully in the company of an immodest maid.

    While the Suns have some very handy up and comers , and may even, finally, become competitive they will be no match for the Dees.

    A comfortable 39 point victory beckons.

    I’m not panicked. We should win. I am just a realist that the Suns up there on a slippery night is not a walk in the park.

    Beautiful day on the Goldy so far today.

    Fingers crossed for a dry run at them and no stupid lightening stoppages as storms are predicted tonight.

    Doing some obligatory shopping with the other half before we head off for a long boozy lunch somewhere.

    Ubers pre-booked as public transport to Carrara is a hot mess.

    Go Dees

    I can see the attraction for you up there at Metricon Uncle. Hot and Steamy conditions are right up your alley!!😁

    Gaahh stop making me feel nervous. I was sweet as a nut last week but seeing all of you nervous nelly's... 

    I've said it in other threads but I'm mainly just fascinated to see how we handle each and every game and in game situation. Last week as I mentioned I said to my mate "this is a massive challenge, can't wait to see how we look to wrest control back and we did it with aplomb. This week, as others have said out ability to keep teams to low scores will hold us in good steed most weeks and this week will be no different. They don't have the defence or maturity in the mids to stick with us the whole game. Dees by 30 - 45.

    Hopefully we’ve prepared for this game the same way we did against GC last year - by spending 12 hours trapped on a plane.

    We haven’t dropped a game since that fateful day on the tarmac.

    Are people really getting nervous over a round two game against Gold Coast?  If so it's going to be a long year!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
