Gold Coast double up games: Geelong , Brisbane, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Giants and Melbourne

This is good

They can't beat GWS in a fit. A potential double loss.

Hawthorn will beat them in Launceston. Likewise Geelong at GMHBA

They're appalling against Brisbane at the GABBA, and are at risk of losing to Brisbane twice if the Lions are in a mood down at PFS.

The new look St Kilda are an absolute show against the Suns to end the season at Marvel. St Kilda will have 38,000 screaming fans willing them over the line for a wild card birth.

We will likely lose to GC twice due to the midfield disparity, but emotions will be running high on Easter Sunday with Trac so you never know.

It's not out of the question they go 13-10 and lose the wild card final, but unfortunately they have Hardwick steering the ship.

    Going to be an interesting DR. I don’t hate the Suns like I did with Freo.

    I’ll prob watch a decent amount of the Suns games. Will be keeping a close eye to see how Bailey Humphrey plays and also hoping the brand continues with his goal kicking woes.

    Suns will continue to lose good players over the coming season as they can’t afford to keep all that talent on the list.

    As well as BH, King and possibly Walter’s ( more so if Jamarra can hold down a spot)could be on the move next season.

    All makes for an interesting death ride.

    Funny thing is, if Gold Coast are anticipating losing Ben King, then they'll be death riding themselves because obviously he'd get them an additional first round pick in FA compensation.

    They're going to B. Tank King?

    Given a penchant for munching on stadium grass pregame, I'll hazard a guess that the Brownlow Medalist stuck his finger somewhere he should have?

    For those who are quite partial to a death ride, Rowell couldn’t have broken his finger at a worse time.

    Whilst he could be missed against Geelong in opening round, they have a laughable 3 weeks after with WC at home, Richmond away and then the bye.

    No doubt he’ll be fresh and ready to go for our game in round 4.

    Suns missing Rowell, Anderson, King and Collins.

    They will be fine.

    I enjoy the death ride. It gives me 2 games per round where I have an interest.

    Assumptions are that GC performs well this season.

    They said that about Freo too.

    Top 10 pick coming our way. You read it here.

    While we're on the topic of the Suns..

    There is absolutely no way Jamarra is even in their best 26. Jed Walters would be ahead of him by a mile.

    Looks completely out of touch and has barely gotten near it tonight.

    Needs to spend a good 5 weeks straight in the VFL.

    Suns are a top 4 team. I’d be very surprised, but delighted, if they don’t make finals

    Isn’t Walters just bang average as well at this point?

    Suns not top 4 lock in by any stretch.

    I approve of the tone of this thread and am warmed by the melancholy that resides in my fellow demonlander’s hearts for other teams. Long live the death ride!

    Note I say this after seeing JUH running around in a practice match, must admit to feeling bloody sorry for the doggies, that must burn as much as Trac/Oliver etc.

    I fear this isn’t going to be a fun death ride 😢

    However, on the off chance it is, I’m torn as to whether seeing Dimma fail or seeing Melbourne getting a high draft pick will be the better spoil? 😀

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
