    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

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      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.

      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.
