    Tigers have an easy run home. They could make finals. 

    Port in Adelaide, Hawks at the G and Essendon at the G. 

    Could lose all 3. They lost to Norf don’t forget

    Lions were 7 goals up weren’t they?

    Geelong like loss.  The Lions Blues game going to mean a lot next week.

    I've said it before but Brisbane's leadership and midfield is highly questionable. They go missing at really important points. Remind me of MFC circa 2002-2006. Really poor again.

    Agree.

    But their main issue is their woeful defence.

    Old school sysyem thst just doesn't cut it - as evidenced by how many big scores they've give up.

    Cost them this game as they simply couldn't stop the tiger's momentum

    From the AFL game day thread

    "Searching for their first win since Round 21, 2014 at the MCG, Brisbane gave up a 42-point lead and were overrun by the Tigers. This came about as Brisbane's ball movement was stifled by Richmond. In the first half, Brisbane turned 34 defensive chains into 16 forward 50 entries and 6.3 (39); in the second half, 30 chains only yielded seven entries and three behinds."

    Brisbane did a Melbourne.

    Welcome to the Dangerzone, Lions.

    Serious question- have we been 42pts down and lost this year? I don’t think so but wondering if you or anyone knows

    Random thought….

    Blues don’t make the 8 (even if they win tonight).

    Lions @ Gabba 

    Dees @ MCG

    Pies @ MCG 

    Tigers to win next 3.

    Blues making the 8 comes down to them beating the Pies rd 23.

    Massive choke from the Lions. They lost it more than the Tigers win it. Lions won contested footy, clearances, inside 50s etc. just what the bed when the pressure came

    Agreed. Zorko is the worst captain in the league and yes I am including Heppell in that. He is a hot head and thinks of himself. Argues with the umps and has personal grudge matches a lot. 

    the Sooner McCluggage is made captain the better for them

    Oops. I could not pick a winner to save my life this year. That is why I don't bet on Melbourne games.

    Another bonus out of that game is St Kilda. They have  to win next week now, most likely they wont but its now their Grand Final.

    Brisbane's chance to win a flag was the only year in history when the finals were/will be played in QLD. Not sure where they go from here. Back to QLD, I guess.

    They can’t win, neither can Flagmantle. It’s out of the current top 4.

    Rippa great result for Dees beat Pies where locked in top two

    Wouldn't count on this - Sydney have North, Collingwood (at the SCG where they are 8-2) and St Kilda to come. Very good chance they make up the 4 points and 5% between us even if we go 2-1 from here.

    So basically if we beat the Pies and Carlton we will finish 2nd?

    I hate seeing Richmond win but it helps us

    For now.

    Keep winning and it could be us against the Swans at the G.

    Lose one and it could be Swans at the SCG.

    If that was the case, I think I would prefer to finish 4th and play the Cats at the G.

    Haven't worked out all the scenarios needed for various results yet, I am sure others on DL will.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
