    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!

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
