    That was Nero's fault. He fiddled instead of calling the fire brigade.

    McKay is actually listed at 204cm.

    It's a significant difference and that's where I thought Tomlinson battled well even though he was beaten.

    I'd play him on Brody Mihocek.

    Mihocek is an aerobic beast fwd he works his [censored] off and Tomlinson can go with him better than May

    Let 2021 go mate. We're not going to dominate every week.

    That's the thing. Some people think the last three minutes of the third quarter of GF was how played for the entirety of 2021. Recall the loss to GWS. Their midfielders waltzed out of centre bounces and our forward line was anaemic (picture high kicks to Spargo matched against two tall defenders...). Re-read the postgame thread; midfield rubbish, Fritsch to be dropped, Goodwin to be sacked. 

    Form fluctuates. Sustained success is hard. Premierships are a possibility not a certainty.

    Lots of focus on our opposition not being amazing but our gold coast win at metricon looks really good to me, as they knocked off the doggies who are in great form.

    Such a tiresome stat that actually shows how we beat up on lowly teams and struggle against top 8 teams.

    Following your logic you must be thrilled with our scores of 76, 72 and 61 in the last three weeks, lol

    We have Coll, Cats at Geelong, Saints, Brisbane and Adelaide coming up, reality check time.

    Good posting

    Absolutely! See also the essendon win, hawthorn draw, loss to the bulldogs (stats were ok but we were really lacking connection), even the wins against West Coast and Adelaide at the end people were not very comfortable with. We played a lot of footy similar to last night in 2021.

    Same. Bar a couple of close losses this season is trending like 21.

    You would probably declare season over at three quarter time.

    Probably should be talking about Petracca's game more.

    32 possessions, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 7 clearances, 15 ground ball gets (next highest for either side was Walsh with 8), 9 score involvements but also 27 pressure acts, 11 of which were in the defensive half, all from 83% game time. Did it on offence and defence. Truly superb.

    He played with a chip on his shoulder last night, good to see

    100%
    The backline held the joint together for much of the middle part of the year.
    Front end of the ground didn't work much better than ours is now though Kozzie and Frittta were kicking a few.

    You understand this is blatant hypocrisy, right?

    We win ugly, you talk about how we played terrible football.

    Collingwood win ugly, you talk about their W-L record (i.e. suggesting the win is all that matters).

    Collingwood had one ugly game while we've had quite a few ugly games.

    Did you watch their win against North last week?

    Imagine your reaction if we only beat North by 35 points and allowed them to kick 6 goals in a quarter. 
    You’d be calling for a National inquiry

    • 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.
