    Yep Molloy out. Which is a shame because I'd like to see her play live, but then again, I'm not complaining 😉 Depending how all the tests went today, we might need all the help we can get! In the unlikely event that all those players under a cloud aren't available, we're actually down to 21 fit. But surely a few should be good to go.

    Yay! Heater, S. Taylor and Lampy all back, and Tay, Goldy and Ryleigh fine after their scares! 😁

    Best news ever, especially right now. A much-needed shot in the arm. Bring on Saturday!

    Your first W match! How exciting!!! You’ll love it, guaranteed. Watching our team live is so good.

    Try to get there a little early to avail yourself of the freebies and partner giveaways and face-painting, etc.

    There’s this crazy passionate cheer squad member who’d love to meet you.

    She’ll be either on BBQ duties (till b!ttchh extraordinaire) or on a flogger.

    Right now she’s having a hard time coming to terms with all the changes at our club so another friendly face will be most welcome.

    With Molloy out and Heath, Lampard and S.Taylor in the side which makes as look a lot stronger I think we should win this game I wasn't sure about the Freo game I thought it would be like the Port game and I was right, I'd be surprised if we lost this game.

    We are almost full strength with Mackin and Gall only a week away, unfortunately Purcell is out for the year, huge loss.

    I will definitely get there early although I think my face painting days are behind me 🤣. Put an extra sausage on the BBQ, I’ll be the slightly lost looking, old bloke.

    No excuses tomorrow, that’s a strong side we have named. Go Dees!

    Not enough info for her, FND. We are a surprisingly big tribe.

    I like to think, as a top-6 team, that we'll at least inflict their 'average loss' on them, i.e. about 68 plus 2 minus 39 divided by 3 - 'a coupla goals'.

    Though I would like to be a little less stressed than waiting for that result would make me!

    Yes, I added this for managing expectations (mainly my own!).

    On my "more realistic ladder", we're about 6th and hoping to lock in finals and build form for the pointy end. It could all fall apart or we could be in for an exciting run!

    A slightly lost looking old bloke huh? It might be easier for you to find me 😆 Just ask literally anyone in the cheer squad to point out the crazy chook lady 😅

    Oh and one is never too old for face paint!

    Seeya tomorrow!

    PS: I’ll be the one in red and blue 😝

    (Cheer squad joke - never not funny)

    In 'adults' (read, anyone over 14 these days, it seems, though they may all actually be 20-somethings and it's just me...) it's called tattooing...

    Regarding that, are we going backwards atm, teams having worked us out? - a team wanting flowing chains, that can be clogged with the right type and amount of pressure? The last 3 rounds, including the Ws, we've looked vulnerable in that type of game.

    Port have done us a favour beating the Hawks

    Got to win this game tomorrow

    if we do, we're in with a great chance of second particularly as hawks still have North to come

    The issue is now becoming avoiding an interstate week-1 final in Brisbane or Adelaide. A win tomorrow will go a ways to fending that off.

    🥳 GAMEDAY 🥳

    We really need to win today, getting back in the top two is crucial. Hawthorn’s loss last night and our healthy percentage says we can!!!

    Dees by Captain Kate (10pts)

    WE CAN DO THIS!

    LFG!

    • 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.
