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.

    Need to do what we did to North, come out swinging right from the opening bounce and put them away early.

    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.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • 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.
