    Lions are flat track bullies.

    We are a better team than them. We are fit and primed. We will deliver a proper performance.

    Dees by 35 points

    No injuries & a good win like last time please.

    I'd like to see Grundy assert himself a bit more tonight. A few more marks & a goal or 2 would be nice. I know he is still adjusting but hope he & gawn smash it.

    Did Pig travel up with them? I see he isn’t on the emergency list but I do worry a bit about what the plan is to shut down Charlie if he gets off the leash. Melk was great as sub last week but I wonder if Pig is a better choice tonight (assuming Tommo plays for May and Pig is elevated onto emergency list).

    We are better than Brisbane: more even and more stars; stronger; more confident;  and with a better game plan.  Ruthless Dees by 6+ goals.

    We are better than them, smarter than them and more attractive than them. Let's do this.

    Last year we were well and truly the hunted. This year we are the hunters. Got a doggie scalp last week, tonight we are going to bring down a lion. GO DEES!!!

    Need to bash them up in the midfield, last week they looked soft in there despite the big names they have

    This is a big game. Too early on to be season defining and also a tough one to be back on the road. But we travel very well and certainly have the motivation to beat them for beating us in the final last year. A win up there will be huge and I think we will. With Jv back our midfield and dynamic ruck combo will be simply too strong. Bbb is firing and Fritta will be itching to get on the scoreboard. Tmac to get back to his best and take a bucket of marks.  Can't wait.

    Soft underbelly all round.

    Coleman is a massive out for them. One less ball user to worry about coming out of the back line.

    @Josh As DeelightfulPlay said in the pre-game thread, we’ll be in Bay 213. Entering through Gate 8

    MFCSS is back in full swing. They will be hard to beat this week and they are at home. Yes we travel well but they are a much better team on their home ground.

    68 - 78 % humidity on the forecast.

    Will make for a slippery pill. 

    My MFCSS says we'll miss Kossie - obviously.... 

    Weather report from Brisbane. Was the coolest morning here for about 4 months with the MoeMobile saying 20 degrees at 7am. A week ago it was 28 at the same time. 
     

    Some dew on the windscreen which I have not seen in about the same time. 
     

    Nowhere near as hot and humid as it has been. Should be a nice night but will likely get a bit slippery later in the evening.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
