Excited to have BBB and Weid in the same forward line - could be the dawn of a very destructive duo if aggressive Weid comes to play.

Interested to see what Dunstan can do and looking forward to seeing sparrow in the middle for a whole game.

    Really looking forward to this game.

    Im tipping a 40 point win going away in the last as that seems to be our style.

    Great to be on prime-time again.

    Go Us!!

    I reckon this will be a close one - for about 15 minutes.

    It's pretty good to be our shoes at the moment. Two of the best defenders going around are out of  our side yet we can bring in quality like Petty and Smith and still have Tommo waiting for a shot. I can't see geriatric Jack doing much damage and Lynch is a frontrunner.

    Without their main man Dusty they lack both fire power and muscle.

    Really keen to watch Dunstan in the middle and also Sparrow with extra responsibility.

    Hope Weid and BBB don't run into each other but I reckon Kozzie will thrive on the big stage and  clean up.

    In a moment of rare generosity I've given The Manor's domestic staff the weekend off! I even shouted them a camping site (non powered) in the hills.

    I imagine they've well and truly pitched their tents by now!

    The Tigs will be fired up for this one, but I just don’t see the firepower in their arsenal.  I expect them to match us early, but when we pull the trigger for our 3rd quarter onslaught, the battle will be over in the blink of an eye. Dees by around 6 goals.

    Missed this game last year, which was a ripper, and cannot wait to head in for ceremony & spectacle.

    Hoping to see a huge crowd but the town seems strangely vacated again, like last weekend. 

    Figure Dunstan shouldn't be too out of his depth given Tiggers faultering midfield.

    Get along if you're able 'landers & go us.

    Really like reading Gameday thread when we are premiers and the side others aspire to be,

    the positive vibes are good to feel.

    we will lose unexpectedly but not tonight. The game will be hard therefor we expect to have to play to win.

    we should power away after the main break, Go Dees.  B2B in 22

    We go in favourite, and rightly so, but the Tiges are very well coached and their smaller players are in great form. It is their ageing stars that are letting them down, and I think they might struggle to score. I am hoping to see Langdon, Jordon, Hunt and Brayshaw tear them apart with gut running and relentless transition footy. And like many others, I have been waiting for an extended stint of seeing Weid and BB play together. 

    For me, into the train with 3 family members at 3.30pm and down to the game I go. Could be a late-ish night home - approx 12.30am - but worth it in anticipation of a great win.

    Since this one is an away game, will the cheer squad be at the ponsford stand end or the regular spot in the Warne stand?

    Such generosity is unheard of in Romsey, Uncle, I'm sure other townfolk and peasantry must look up in Awe and Envy of the Benevolence of the Master of the Manor.

    Shout-out to Hunty today playing his 100th game. He's been one of my favourites outside the plethora of stars we have in our side. He always takes the game on and plays with courage and dare. Let's hope we can get the win for you today mate. Congrats!

    I think it will be a pretty close game today and the Tigers will be up for the fight but we will prevail by 3-5 goals

    Ambition - day was planned, pub lunch with a couple of other Dees, arvo ferry from Portarlington staying in town overnight, dining room dinner on 2nd level AFL Members area, celebrate the night after watching the Dees, back on ferry in morning with probable hangover

    Reality - came down with Covid 2 days ago, will spend the day coughing and sneezing while watching the game instead !!

    Go Dees

    Our system is water tight. I expect Smith and Dunstan to slot in seamlessly

    The only Tiges player that concerns me is Shai Bolton. He's a gun. Overall though we have the better players

    Looking forward to a big crowd and a few celebratory beers on swan St post game

    Dees by 25 points

    Forward marking will be the key along with accuracy.

    If we limit their marking in the forward 50 and take a few ourselves... game over.

    Expecting a heavy defensive press from the Tigers

    ”No and Why” I said.

    ”I’ve already seen them live once this year” I replied 

    “When did you see them?”

    What a time to be a Dees supporter. A lazy 30 point victory today and the tigers kept below 70 points from the greatest defence of any generation!

    • 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.

    • 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.
