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 Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?
