2025/2026 may not be all that memorable on field but the quality banter and content over the last few days has brought great joy in an otherwise pretty bleak period for the club.

Carry on Demonland.

    Pfft. Three first rounders is a great deal.

    Somehow I think you'd have said that if we got 6 first round picks.

    We sent 3 second rounders? So a future? Takes a little gloss off for me.

    But on the deathride, anything outside top four will be a win in my eyes

    Wishing the suns a very merry miss the 8 next year. I’m sure their 9 fans will be disappointed but I can live with that.

    Bring on the deathride. Its not unusual to see a team take a step back after their first finals appearance. Dees 2018, Freo last year.

    I can definitely see a year where Suns finish 9th. They look strong offensively, but they are very vulnerable behind the ball so we will see how that stacks up.

    Very real chance we have two top 10 picks next year and i can see us using these both to lure a big name to the club along with our 2027 First.

    You still here? You promised us you'd stop posting if Oliver was traded.

    Are you not a man of your word?

    DL needs pickett! He's great value. Perhaps PF can quarantine himself to a LIFERIDING Clayton Oliver Thread as a compromise? Go Giants!

    Have wanted Gold Coast to make finals and do well for years, but now I'm more than happy to ride them to the bottom.

    Having them finish towards the bottom would be an awsome outcome for Brand Petracca.

    With trac butchering the footy for them there's no limit to how low they can go in 2026.

    this lets hope he is bombing it into 50 .or resting forward with sub 40% accuracy.

    the draw will be intersting they should get a tougher draw than last year but it's a fixture so who knows what the AFL will throw up.

    Ever chance rnd 1 (or zero or 2 or opening round or whatever the hell it is)is melbourne v GC on the GC with a blockbuster 14K people there

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • 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.
