Paper and form, we should prevail comfortably. 
But I think the Suns will give a good account of themselves and really push us at times today. 
 

4 goals would be solid, 6 or 7 would be a strong win.

    GC are good at the moment. They easily handled Richmond last week where we struggled to suppress them the week before. I wouldn’t take this game lightly.

    Today we’ll re-start our impressive streak of interstate wins! 


    US BY LOTS AND LOTS !!!!

    seriously though …Us by lots and lots 😁

    … and lots

    ❤️💙👊🏼❤️💙

     

    In the same game last year they gave us a fright and many of their players have matured since then. They have a few big outs but they have depth now so they are no pushover.

    Demons however, have too much at stake so take it from the horse’s mouth - we win by 20 points.

    A mate is staying at the Sofitel in Broadbeach, the demons are staying their also, he was in the Spa with Viney, Van Rooyen and two other demons he didn’t know 🤦‍♂️ (bandwagon Lions supporter). Viney mentioned to him that the suns at home was the Demons hardest away game last year.  They should be on ready to go!

    No way was WCW missing that early morning flight to GC; just for a few hours sleep. 

    In the lady's own words:  'Sleep is overrated'!!

    My ample gut tells me this is a danger game but one we cannot not drop if we want to stay in the hunt. Just get the job done Dees. By one point or 10 goals, get it done!

    Last year when we played them it was very wet from memory. And slippery. 
    Conditions today are vastly different. 
    Fingers crossed we don’t take this one for granted and come out strong and deflate them early.

    I hope Max gets to spend a fair bit of time in the forward line negating Gcs marks and letting our small brigade to clean up the marks he doesn't take.


    Will there be a pause in play while we all take the knee and pledge allegiance?

    Clubhouse clear leader for post of the day so far.

    Many thanks for this.  very sensible public comment by Jack also.

    Rowell has lifted, in trying to make up for Miller being out, but Miller is a huge out for them, as is the in form Weller, who has become their run and carry player.

    They are playing well and this is no gimme game.

    Don’t tell anyone 

    🤫 

    Yes, respect every opposition. I just don’t think the Suns are playing as good as most are saying. They kicked 11.6 last week and that’s not much. 6.1 came in one quarter. They will have to play a hell of a lot better to beat us. 
    They’ve lost some key players as already mentioned, we should be winning this.

    Witts is a class ruckman so will probably come close to evening out the ruck contests with Gawn/Grundy. We have to take full advantage when he is resting on the bench.

    Their midfield is on a massive learning increase and are no easy beats. Their forward line looks underclass but has multiple paths to goal. It is their defence where we will get them. Fritsch, JVR and Kozzie to go nuts today, and Chandler to continue his good form.

    Dees by 25.

    Last year was a cracking weather. Slipperiness would just have been the humidity.

    The slipperiness was due to the state of the ground after a heavy downpour on the night before the game. And yes it was humid during the course of the game.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
