Dissect the game with other fans.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Demons have beaten Gold Coast and Brisbane at the MCG. Somehow I do not think the Tigers will give the Dees any issues whatsoever

 

[voorhees]

injuries galore..
confidence shot...
this will get very ugly for tiger fans

 

[Mr Meow]

This is where King's freeflowing Demons could really put a team to the sword.

 

[Cam Payne]

Poor old Tiges are up against it again this week. Dee's by 50+.

 

[PCORF]

Melbourne by 15. They may see this as an easy game and drop off here but wake up and fight back from a slow start to win by 15 points.

 

[tiger_tough]

Not sure Gawn will be able to handle Samson Ryan TBH.

 

[Daka]

Surely the Dees rest Gawn??

They will still win big and look after their superstar.

 

[timokane]

Dees easy win this by 30 points

 

[juss]

Another 60 point loss coming up unfortunately

 

[JackFlash]

The Demons are going to have their OFF days, but this won't be one of them, Dees by 10 goals!

 

[dees arent rabble]

Wouldn't be surprised if the tigers get up in this one.
Dees love to drop these sort of games

 

[Xtreme]

On paper this is a match the Demons should win... but they'd probably lose... that said

Melbourne by 10

 

[Aido97]

Dees by 50 but the three Sam’s (Lalor, Cummings & Grlj) to announce themselves to the footy public

 

[Jibroni]

Its a shame the Tigers are not up an about this time as otherwise this my favourite game of the season.

 

[dean33]

Lynch back and Cummings to debut in his first of a star studded career. Tigers by a kick.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Danger game for Melbourne. You’d think it hard for the Dees to lose this but it’s the sort of letdown we’ve come to expect of them.

Richmond are due to win a game but Melbourne won’t let this slip.

 

[YeoShuey]

Eleni who is probably the worst umpire in the league, is umpiring prime time, probably because one of the worst teams in the league, Richmond are playing.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Dees should win by 40 given Richmond's availability but I have no faith in us beating bottom teams with a load of expectation.

 

[smasha]

Richmond by five train stations......

 

[tiger_tough]

Feels like the Dees tend to play to the level of their opponents so hopefully we can bring them down to our putrid level, because they love a high scoring shoot-out and we're shooting blanks.

Yet I am looking forward to this one way more than our last few due to the Cumming and Burton debuts to go with Grlj, Lalor, Retschko etc. Hopefully the exuberance of youth can spark something in us.

 

[Osho]

The way Tiges been defending, and Dees been attacking, we are looking at 10 goals minimum.

God help us!

 

[Osho]

Eleni who is probably the worst umpire in the league, is umpiring prime time, probably because one of the worst teams in the league, Richmond are playing.

Ouch!!

 

[Osho]

Dees by 50 but the three Sam’s (Lalor, Cummings & Grlj) to announce themselves to the footy public

Here I am, and I can't kick straight?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Eleni who is probably the worst umpire in the league, is umpiring prime time, probably because one of the worst teams in the league, Richmond are playing.

At least we are spared another Carlton game on a Fri night
