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.

Dees to win with a leg in the air

[binman 43,817]

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

[Bitter but optimistic 22,249]

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.

[Grapeviney 9,801]

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!
