    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

    MFCSS is in full swing. 

    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!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
