Unpopular opinion here but I hope Fremantle win tonight.

Essendon have a joke of a fixture in late July/August (Nth, Wc, Syd, GWS) and are a legitimate chance to take our spot in the top 4.

They will drop 1 or 2 of those...

I hope they win tonight, their next 4 are tough.

If they can make top 4 with that draw they deserve it.

You really can be a glass 1/2 empty kind of person at times.

    I don’t hope Essendon win tonight.

    They’re nipping at our heels for a top 4 spot and I expect them to beat Port next week (post bye theory) and then Adelaide at Marvel. Then their easy fixture commences shortly after.

    They're not that good.

    If we can't win 7 of our next 9 we won't make top 4 & don't deserve too.

    I think we will.

    EFC won't have anything to do with it...can't see them winning 8 of 10.

    They will be lucky to win tonight, I hope they do.

    Well I want a better pick so I want every team to beat Freo. 
    I don’t care about those around us. If we are good enough we make the top 4 on our merit. Maybe having to scrap for a top four might get us actually going.

    If ESS pull off a win, they are a better team than I give them credit for.

    I'm in the minority that want the bombers to win evidently. Give me them low picks and watch the bombers get knocked out in the first elimination final and build false hope.

    I think you’re in the Majority that want the Bombers to win.

    I’m in the minority that want Essendon to lose tonight (and in future weeks) so we can get as much top 4 breathing space as we can from the likes of Essendon, Bulldogs, St Kilda etc..

    My second best bet of the round (lions to cover their line was #1) - Freo to cover their minus 5.5 line. 

    The only reason i'm not more bullish is the predicted rain creates some variables

    Fair enough, I mainly read anti-bomber sentiment which I completely understand.

    We don't know how the rest of the season will play out so I will be content for Freo to win and give us some breathing space.  Hanging out for the possibility of better draft picks is less important than getting into the top 4.   And feels (in a weird sort of way) like 'supporter tanking'.  

    Our window is now.  Don't need some star pick who may (or may not) develop in a few years.  (On the other hand, I realise a low pick may give us a trade to get what we need now.)

    Also, I hate Essendon.

    We are in the now but aren’t performing like a genuine now yeah and a low pick from Freo might give us a good kid who does come in ect year and perform. Look at how some top 10 picks are playing across the league. Sheezel would slot in nicely to our team.

    Sure, but no quarantee that a 'ready-to-go year 1' player will be available to fit our specific needs, or that they won't be available a spot or two lower in the draft.   I'm happy to leave it to Freo to lose to teams that are no threat to us.

    Dees currently with pick 5 with Sydney comfortably ahead of freo on percentage.

    Still want essendon to win.

    I'm of the view that if we have to hope for teams around us to fail for us to qualify for top 4 then we aren't much chop anyway. Let freo fall as far as possible and put top 4 in our own hands.

    Either way I'll be happy tonight.

    Bombers win helps our draft hand. If we fear them taking our top 4 spot, then we have much bigger problems.

    Freo win and I'll get to enjoy a bombers loss.

    It’s the way I’m looking at it.

    But the idea of Bell failing badly makes me want a Freo loss each and every week!

    Oath. 

    Cannot believeee people are riding on the hope of other teams falling around us. 

    We will dictate our position by wins and losses. And at the moment, we look a mile off a top four side. 

    We should be riding a Freo loss every game, regardless of who they play.

    Who else really looks like a top 4 side ?

    Never cheered for a draw before but there is always a first.

    Anyone worrying about Essendon taking our spot in the top 4 will be breathing a little easier watching this game. No way are they a top 4 team.

    • 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.

    • 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.
