Early wins are like gold to ensure that vital top 2 finish so I doubt the boys will take this game lightly...our best will be enough to account for Essendon even if they do come out "breathing fire" from the heat they've rightly copped in the media for the last two weeks

We save our smashings for prelims and GFs....this will be a regulation 4-5 goal grind them into the turf job

Good point, based on this match Jacko wouldn’t be playing finals for a while if he turned purple

Harmes would be very upset and it would be bad for culture if we traded him: he’s a lifelong Demons supporter with a deep love of the club, what a dream to play in a premiership with the club you supported your whole life

Even with all our injuries the current backline has only given up 21 goals across 2 games….can’t see too many changes no point risking players who are doubtful when the existing team is getting the job done

Good to secure the 4 points in that sauna

Suns giving a lot of cheek they are playing at their absolute best…I reckon we are going about 60%

Sign up Jacko forever please

quad injury

They are pretty light on for goalkickers now offsets our backline outs

We could be playing West Coast this week who have 17 out and our supporters would still be making a case for the Eagles to get up!

Dees to win with a leg in the air

Suns would have to play a lot better than last week to challenge us, West Coast barely had a league quality midfielder (Redden was their one decent one) and they still struggled to shake them for 3 quarters. If we lose to a side that has Levi Casboult as their main key forward it’ll be an absolute shocker!

Not good about Salem but 3 other premiership defenders not far away so reinforcements arent far off....

You'd hope the boys come out with full force and intensity to shock the Suns and put them on the back foot right away - make them feel the difference between playing the Eagles 2nds vs a premiership side

Suns in 4th big top 4 clash next week, wow

Urgh don’t remind me, in my top 5 worst days at the footy ever

Fair enough unexpected losses will happen I agree, but just about every player on our list would have to catch covid at once to lose to the rabble I’m watching at the moment!

Yes I know, they are struggling against a side with 15 out

Would be a disgrace if we lost….WC are missing 15 players

Suns struggling to beat a WAFL side

remember they are professional athletes with the best possible medical care vs us normal humans - they routinely play with injuries we would struggle to get up a flight of stairs with

In: Hibbo Out: Salem probably not worth risking Lever for a trip to the Coast

Martin out for Dogs we should win a lot of hit outs at least

Lever confirmed out
