    Maybe hope their bathwater is tastier than ours?

    There's certainly a lot more of it!

    Need height down back but not sure we’ve got any that will actually stop them. It would be Adams for Howes and he’d have to play on Naughton and let Disco intercept. We probably just go Disco on Naughton and hope Howes and Rivers can offer some chop out.

    Can’t do much for the midfield. Not sure there’s any need to swap the starting small forwards. JVR isn’t going well but not sure this is a Jeffo game.

    I’d go Lindsay sub again and have Sharp at Casey because he needs full games.

    Baptism of fire for Adams to go up against Darcy/Naughton

    True, would be a tough first game but there are no easy ones left and it’d be good to see what he’s got, with T Mac, Turner and Howes to help him

    I don’t there is any chance Petty goes back after playing so well up fwd. He was our focal point all game

    The last time Dees and Dogs met after thumping wins in their previous games...

    I agree, Petty has played forward all year and probably won't be shifted. English is also in fair form and will make it harder for Gawn to float back.

    True

    Would big Campbell be a chance?

    Backline is a concern without May and an in-form Lever. But agree with previous comments, probably not the game to bring in Adams.

    Not gonna lie, Darcy to kick 5 might be a bet.

    Hmm Sportsbet won’t show past round 22 so you can’t firm up a multi

    Well that cancels out half the team. Not sure we can field a team in the next few weeks

    Just Lindsay in for Sharp.

    Best of luck Disco and T Mac, you’re gonna need it!

    Looking forward to us returning to the ‘G after two weeks at that soulless stadium which I refuse to set foot in. Will be there in full voice - win, lose or draw.

    Thank God this game is at the MCG. That drops at least 8 goals off what the Dogs can score.

    Tommy Mac on Darcy, Turner on Naughton.

    If Darcy gets off the leash, swing Petty back onto him. He's got the height.

    Not convinced we're gonna win this one.

    This, perhaps?...

    Who knows with selection ? It’s a lottery

    Their forward weapons

    Darcy. Prefer Petty to play back on him but Goody will keep him forward, so it’s probably Tmcd

    Naughton. Probably Turner

    West. McVee.

    Midfield. Bont. Libba. Richards. Kennedy. Sanders. Williams

    Versus

    Oliver Trac jv7 Kozzzzy Langdon Langford Windsor

    Big matchup in midfield

    Defence. Runners. Dale. JJ. Freijah

    Need to stop Dale we let too many HBF run and run and kick and run etc etc

    Chandler Sparrow Fritsch need to tighten up on their rebound

    Defence. Talls. Lobb Busslinger O’Donnell Cleary

    Can JVR and Petty and Melksham have any influence ?

    Miscellaneous. Bramble McNeil Poulter. Vdm. Dogs weakness or strength is also their 20-23. Dees can identify this also.

    I’m happy to take you on. I’m betting we win 1 perhaps 2 of the last 3

    • 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.
