I want to see a really strong all team defensive game, especially from our back 6, no leaky goals please.

Keep the Lions to 70 points or below, Fritsch to kick 4 and Melksham and BBB to combine for 6.

Dees by 37 points.

    Flew into Coolangatta last night, 25 degree day up here. Now, looking out at the sun nudging above the horizon on the Coral Sea at Currumbin 15 storeys up. About to go for a run around Burleigh Heads headland and then a dip. Geez I'm glad to be out of the miserable sodding Victorian weather.

    I'll be sitting in the members tonight, it'll be a blast. Let's get it done... and if we don't,  I still think we're the only team within the finals that can win from anywhere. ❤️💙

    Feeling very confident about this game

    Our away record is exemplary, the manner of the Carlton win will give the boys real belief and we have champions players who will rise to the occasion

    Snuff out the threat from Neale and Cameron and we're half way there

    I reckon Kossie will light up the Gabba tonight

    Dees by 25 points

    Hugely important game for our flag chances and whether our home and away season could be considered a success.

    Not many clubs win a flag with their most recently consecutive win coming in round 16.

    Would be disappointed to end the season in an “also ran” position of 6th after starting 10-0.

    A win and the sky is the limit for us!

    Had a listen to SEN this morning, they played a bit of Fagan's media conference from yesterday. When asked about Neale and possibly Harmes tagging him I'm sure I heard he said we used questionable tactics to nullify Neale last time we played them. He then mentioned it's up to the umps to watch that sort of stuff. Just what the ump lovers on this forum wanted to hear.

    Go Dees!!!

    It will be a bit difficult to deal with being in the top 4 since about Rd 2 and not making it. Get it done Dees!

    I'll be in the Lions members as well Onion.

    This is it, we have to take the next step up tonight.

    I'll be there with my wonderful dees supporting wife and my lions supporting father in law and some old friends who are lions supporters.

    I hope we clobber them.

    Nice one Brownie, a bit of locals knowledge please - I used to hit up ‘Ze Germahn Klub’ pre match when I lived up here 10 years ago, alas it’s booked out- any other recommendations? (Not the🍍!!) 
     

    I’m expecting a tight error riddled match with the Dees pulling away in the third and for Brisbane to ride the crowd a bit in the final.

    Stuck in a hospital bed after a (minor) mishap yesterday.  A win tonight, by a big enough margin to grab 2nd spot, will be just the tonic I need.  Go Dees!

    Was rewatching highlights from our GF and it’s been a while since we played with such confidence, strength and speed. 

    If there is ever a H&A game to treat like a final this is it.

    As usual against Brisbane, Hipwood, Daniher and every other mug to bash up Gawn and the forward line. Dees must stand up and make a statement.

    I believe in this team. We have lifted for high stakes interstate matches without fail for the best part of the past 2 years and I don't expect tonight to be any different 👿

    When I boarded the plane to Brisbane yesterday and saw the boys I walked past Max on the plane and said good luck tomorrow night & please don't stuff up our top 4 chance.

    He said thanks and we'll try not to.

    Also wanted to say to May come up with a better strategy for your kick ins but didn't have the guts to do so.

    Because the Lions are so hard to beat on their own deck, this would be the first time this year when the Demons aren’t favourites with the bookies.

    This is the best time for us to defy the odds, to prove the doubters wrong and to earn our spot in the top four!

    The home deck record is pretty misleading.  Yes they've won all 10 there this year, but only 2 have been against top 8 teams (Collingwood in Rd 5 when they were a bit his and miss, then Carlton in Rd 21).

    Did he add what they and other teams do to Oliver...

    He has played that 'poor Neale' card a few times now this year.  Probably trying to get the umps on side.  He should show more public belief in his team rather than sook.

    So what if the Lions have won 18 of their last 20 at the Gabba? The Dees have one of the best away records of the comp and everything to play for.

    Cmon Dees - no fake motorbikes tonight please.

    Wonder what he would say about Oliver if he was a Lion.

    He is in a wresting match nearly every contest to get free to go after the ball and rarely free kicked.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      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.
