It’s Game Day and the Demons will be desperate to open their account in season 2025 as they face the much-improved Gold Coast Suns at the MCG.

We've (maybe) got this.

yeah...nah

based on our first two games, i can't see our mids stopping them from dominating stoppage and getting easy ball in their 50

May takes command and marshals a stout defence. Max and the midfield show up with a chip on their shoulders and play fast and aggressive. Forward line shows up as AJ crashes packs, mayhem ensues, creating openings for Melk, JVR and (I pray) fritta.

Dees by 4 goals.

All 50 of us who will be at the G are in for a show.

I was so fuc%ing glad to see Carlton loose. Takes the pressure off us to rebound (or maybe the pressure off us supporters)

For what it's worth I think we will win. We play the G better than the Suns and I'm backing JVR to do what chin did and have an elite game. Let's fuc$ing go Dees

You're kidding, right?

The media actually digging into our shocking gamestyle would be a good thing. We don't need the shield.

It’s game day baby. Pumped!

It’s all about attitude and intent today. Show some fight and make us proud.

We can win this. Go Dees!

Dee’s by 17 in a rather uninspiring affair.

I'm taking the kids along

We're hopeful but not confident

Surely there will be a strong response after last weeks horror show

You'd rather lose and justify to yourself our gamesyle is no good than win against an up and coming side where our gamestyle holds up?

Go dees!

Dees WILL WIN by 17 points!

• Our home ground

• Suns not 'match fit' - no games played this season; the round 1 training/practice game vs WCE doesn't count.

• Backs-to-the-wall demons will come out fighting like rnd 23, 2024

Stage set for a mighty come back by our beloved demons!

We've lost Lever since I posted the above yesterday but TMac comes in.

Play with grit and intent for 4 quarters and I still think we win !!!

Are you sure you can take kids.

I thought after last week's effort the AFL rated our game style MA15 😜

you forgot one zero at least maybe two

I’ll be there….tipping us to win by ummm 1 point!

Langford 20 & 3

I’ve got the old ‘head says / heart says’ debate pacing through my veins this morning, but you can’t hold this ❤️&💙 heart down! Dees by 17 points.

Hopefully the lads are over the illness that spread through the group last week and are fresh and raring to go. Gawn and Petracca especially with a point to prove. We may not win this one, but we'll definitely have a crack like we did with GWS. Dees by 3 points!

Historically, the Dees thrive when expectations are low and, well… expectations are low.

Melbourne by 25.

You mean Suns not match fit like Tom Green who with 35 possies was the leader in our game against the Giants.

Hope you are right though, this is now a seriously important game for us to get our season going, or possibly watch it fall away early, with the Cats at Cotton On Park next friday.

The irony is we were the team without match fitness against GWS, let Green dominate and surrendered the game.

Every chance GCS are that team today.

We need to curb the play makers like Green.

Tactically, today I think it will be Rowell especially at CB and fwd half stoppages. A job for Viney and or Swallow ...

We also need tactics to stop Mac Andrew copying Comben last week (@Demonstone please note spelling 😁). A good decoy job for Melksham and tell the players to ignore Melksham and keep Andrew away from the play to not intercept.

Last quarter fade outs have been our undoing for nearly a year. I truly think that if there are no passengers we have good tactics and we play the full 4 qtrs we will win ... Is that asking too much ... 🤔

Wow!

There's some shocking spelling on this thread
