Melbourne should approach this game with caution. Underestimating North Melbourne not a good idea. I'm predicting a close one, and although a Demons supporter for 57 years, it could actually go either way.

We played them pre-season pretty much at full strength.

We have seen most of what they have got. Shouldn't be too many surprises

    Beautiful night last night and the roof was closed. It was one big communal sauna. Had to go outside at the breaks coz it’s nice to be able to breathe unlabored. 🥵

    Anyhoo that was last night. Today is a new day but yeah, the roof will still be closed 😅

    We’ll be in aisle 1. Anyone with GA tickets please come and sit in aisles 2 & 3 so as to create a sea of red and blue. ❤️💙

    It may just mean degenerate gamblers thinking there is value where there probably isn’t.

    Chances are they're about to lose.

    You couldn't ask for a more beautiful autumnal day to watch your team play in a soulless domed facility.

    I’ve never liked the roof open there anyway, half the ground is in shade the other in the sun. Don’t know what’s it’s like these days with all sorts of buildings around the stadium now.

    I’m surprised anyone can actually find the gates.

    Woewodin as the direct replacement for Windsor won’t be the sub.

    Last night showed that continual applied pressure can put any team in a winning position. No Koz, McVee, Windsor removes a lot of our carry and polish but win the contests and take your chances and we should get it done. Last week's acceptable loss filled with great effort and intent against an early premiership fancy means nothing if we don't get the W today.

    I watch Norf pretty much every week with my mad Norf mate. Like us, they shot themselves in the foot last week and should have won. Their back line leaks under pressure and they have six players across the ground that are coach (their own) killers. Having said that - they have six blokes, that if let off the leash, will carve us up. We should win, but this is no walk in the (VFL) park.

    I hate not not having may down there.

    We need to stop the ball getting down to darling, LDU & Larky.

    Hopefully our forward line can score enough to win.

    Need van rooyen & fritta to actually step up & contribute today

    Let's hope fritch gets more than 2 possessions in the first half - probably his average first half contribution in the past 12 months

    We seem to have trouble with north. Even in 2021 it was a struggle for a while. I’m not convinced this will be our first win of the season

    Feel like we've taken them too lightly over the years. Surely we won't do the same thing today.

    My read on this game is that we will be too strong for North and play 4 solid quarters. I think our ability to shift up our game plan will frustrate them. They have moments when they look to be gaining moment but we will stifle them and then score when the momentum swings back. Dees by 42.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
