Sparrow really should go out, but i'm not sure who comes in.

AWM should hopefully be better for the experience... disposal was a bit iffy at times but hopefully he cleans it up.

Turner might lose his spot if Petty is fit.

 

Should we consider sending Oliver to tag Merrett?

Petty will play if he’s fit. Sorry to anyone who loves to pile on him.

    He’ll take Turners spot I would think

    I think Petty will come in for Disco rightly or wrongly

    Would like to see AMW stay in

    Gawn missing that last quarter showed how desperate we are for a second ruck option. 
    If it was a close game, having to drag a red hot Roo out of the goal square in order to ruck, leaving Disco as the only tall, would have likely cost us the game.

    I don’t think Gawn would have come off if it was close, I actually think it was precautionary, a knock which could be strapped and fought through but the beauty of the lead

    AMW can't come out. We've got a real player on our hands with him 🙌

    I hope Turner doesn’t get dropped and is made the sub if Petty comes in. He can play at either end and provides good coverage if we have an injury to a tall. I really don’t think playing Woewodin or whomever for 15 mins is doing much so why not use it as insurance?

    When we beat north, I felt flat. Losing to Brisbane, strangely I felt a touch of hope. The win against West Coast felt just right. Looking forward to next Saturday night.

    I feel somewhat optimistic about our next game despite Essendon having a two day longer break than us between games

    Hoping there are many like-minded people as me that intend going to the game and making a lot of noise. After all it is our home game! Hope it feels like a home game for our boys (and supporters). GO DEES!

    It's a tough run home full of "8 point games".

    Need to win well next week and go to Perth full of confidence for our Freo rematch

    If we are going to make it Petty will need to play a big part

    If we manage to make the 8 and win a final, that would be a great season given the amount of young talent we’ve unearthed this season.

    I hope we don't look to rush Petty back into the side, especially considering today our forward line looked as dangerous as it has all season without him. Both Melksham and Turner deserve to hold their spots in the forward line for another week.

    Would like to see an unchanged side and Disco deserves another opportunity.

    I imagine Essendon supporters will have their chests pumping; hence we need to make them feel miserable again.

    Petty is too injured,distracted or not good enough in my view

    Team looks better without him

    He needs an attitude adjustment

    We must beat essendon. 

    Firstly because we need to keep winning to make finals

    Hate essendon and want them to lose

    Want essendon to drop down the ladder. They cannot finish in the top 4 & get a double chance

    • 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.
