North are putrid. 17 game losing streak remember. We're going to belt them.

    Famous last words. West Coast won't win a game, The Hawks are tanking etc. If the Melbourne player believe North are putrid we will lose. Any team can beat any team on their day. We all know what should happen today but how often do you see team thinking about next week "Carlton" because this week is easy. Respect your opponent or pay the price.

    There's information and crossing times on the Derwent Ferries website:

    Thx Wheelo. I’ve already cabbed it over and am ensconced at table in the sun at the Waterfront Hotel. Happy hour between 5-6pm for anyone on the late flight home.

    Your comment is based on the premise we won't respect them.

    We have the bit between our teeth now. The momentum is all with us. Players are playing for spots in a finals team.

    I've no doubt we will respect North today, play well and beat them well.

    New coach factor doesnt apply today. Clarkson coached Norff early in the season then spat the dummy and fled overseas.

    No fiddling about or hollywood handpasses today. Get it  done dees and we'll be 2nd ---with any luck.

    Thats the point switched on from the start. Oh and the welcome back coach will mean a lot to North players.

    The ground is looking good from here! I'm looking forward to the walk down to the ground shortly.

    Hope to see a lot more from Jordan and Harmes today as this is probably the last opportunity (for one of them) to impress.

    Dees by the length of the Derwent.

    There will be a lot of red and blue around you soon if not already. 2021 it was 90% MFC in there.

    The booth at the wharf no longer sell ferry tix to the game. Called up the operator and they didn’t know either! Said there’s supposed to be a couple of crossing before and after the game and it was free if you have a game day ticket. Couldn’t tell me any times though so none the wiser really. Will probably get a cab. 

    I wanted to get the ferry a couple of years ago but it appears as if they operate in secret.

    FYI the Waterfront Hotel doesn’t have Foxtel. To watch the Freo v Bears game after ours you’ll need to walk 20 mins down the other end of Clarence St to the Shoreline Hotel which has a sports bar.

    The talk about his team not being good enough etc very unlike Clarkson, `I've never heard him talk his team down like that. 

      "We know we're still nowhere near good enough to compete with the really strong clubs in the competition"  

    Gee we've got not chance now 😂


    I would think the players and coaches are acutely aware of the ladder situation.

    If we lose this game we are taking the absolute [censored]. This is a must win demolition job.

    will be happy with a professional 42 point win

    want to see petty and roo dominate as tall forwards again to bank last week's performance

    our weight of power thru the midfield should be too much for the kangas you would think, but i'm not expecting to be quite as easy as last time we played them

    I was trying to figure out the exact line it would take for North's percentage to drop below West Coast and it really shocked me as an illustration of just how bad both teams have been this season - I punched in some round numbers just to get a rough idea... we could beat North 170 to 45 (making their for-against 1350 and 2100) and it would only knock about 3 percentage points off.

    And despite that, as always, respect the opposition because the margin from best to worst at this level is always small. Nobody is allowed an off day at the Olympics.

    Lol... just ask Colliwobbles about it.

    I hope this is like the Round 20 2021 game versus Gold Coast. We put the foot down in that game, after a tough opening 10 minutes. 

    On route to the waterfront now for a couple of pre game refreshments. 
    Let’s hope for a better start than last time we played North here. We were behind at half time with Tommo doing his ACL in first quarter. 
     

    Dees by 45  with Petty to kick 4. 
     

    Edit. Just looked at the betting odds for the above. $11. I’ll have a bit of that I think.

    • 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.
