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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
