Just wondering if it is just me being optimistic and bias but I having been tossing up for days if I should tip us. Sitting 2nd in two comps and I have a strong feeling we will stand up and beat this mob but then again probably more hope than anything. After last week don't know how I could even think about tipping us, but after all, the week after a belting is the only time we seem to play well.

 

I don't normally tip Melbourne, especially against top 4 teams. But this week i'm tipping them, just because if we do win I can say I tipped them.

Go Dees.

 

I'll stick to my 1 pt Dee win prediction. Theres no logic really to it as stated elsewhere. It just strikes me as the inane annoying and infuriatling frustrating type of thing Melbourne will do..

I wouldn't do it if I was in your position mate, too risky.

Consider the percentages. If you tip against them and they win you've lost nothing because no-one else will tip them but there's a far greater chance of you tipping another upset over the next 5 weeks.

Was thinking the same, nice post. If they do win i'll be ecstatic anyway.

yes..I agree.. but at this end of the tipping season sometimes you need to take the maverick bets. ...

Would I put real money on them ???? :rolleyes::unsure::rolleyes:

 

Im Leader by three in my comp and there is no doubt that you have to pick Carlton. i will be over the moon if we get up, but come on its very unlikely, just quietly Carlton go alright.

One thing I do like is that this is the first game for a long long time where both of our most dangerous players - Scully and Davey - are in the team. Both need to be tagged, but it's a risk to tag them both, especially if they play a large part of the game on the ball together.

It's time for the likes of Green & Moloney to step up as leaders should and play the games of their lives too. They'll never have a better opportunity to bury their reputation as "flat-track bullies".

Still think that if we can get within 10 goals we'll be doing well. But you just never know ...


Carlton by 6 goals.

That may be a good result after last week.

I'd honestly be pretty happy with that.

Man oh man..

I've only mis-tipped one MFC game this year......I thought Richmond would get over us! I've tipped us tomorrow. Crazy I know, but something's gnawing away in my tipping mind that this is going to be the upset of the year. Emotional blindness? Maybe, but maybe not! If we all tip the Dees, you never know what power lies in the collective consciousness. And I've tipped Gold Coast at Skilled.....Naaaah, not really!

I love this sh!t. You're up there amongst the leaders because you have tipped more winners than most of your competition, yet now you're close to winning it you're going to change your tip based on who you think everyone else will tip!

How about you tip who you think will win? Will Carlton win, or Melbourne? That is the question. No extra points for clever tips or half points for your underdog almost getting up.

By the way, I'd tip the Blues if I were you (which I'm not)

I tip Melbourne to win every week that's why I'm sitting second in the Demonland tipping, that and the fact I forgot to put my tips in one week and got 1 instead of 7.

I dont see how another week of stress and bad feeling around the club will improve the team as mentaly weak as they are.

If they do win this week it will becuase the leaders have stepped up and draged them over the line. I know thats what judd would do.

Our leadders have a very poor track record but I would be estatic if they proved me wrong.


I tipped us.

But I'm no-where near the top.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
