Melbourne have killed my passion for footy and I'm finding it hard to get up for detailed reports, hopefully there's some good chat maintained over the split round as I think a few of these games could be closer than anticipated.

Essendon v Carlton

Bombers by 17

GWS v Geelong

Cats by 83

Crows v Swans

Swans by 11

GC v North

North by 21

St Kilda v West Coast

WC by 29

Melbourne v Collingwood

A few 'upset' chances here - Carlton over Essendon, Gold Coast over North, maybe even St Kilda over West Coast given how the Eagles are travelling.

Definitely agree with that.

Carlton/Essendon seems to be a toss of a coin - and in recent meetings thev've tended to be blowouts. I think they're due a tussle, but I think Essendon just love the G.

Gold Coast have been mighty the last month but, I hope (?), North have finally turned a corner. GC have disappointed twice this season in similar matches (against Port and Freo) so it'll be interesting to see how they hold up.

WC and St Kilda would've had a lot of soul searching this week. They'll be out to prove a point and St Kilda have shown they can shut pretenders down at Etihad. But I think WC are too dangerous in the middle for them with handy goal kickers and I find it hard to go against NN and Cox.

Having said all that, I wouldn't be surprised with any results going against my tips. I also think GWS may be a little plucky agaisnt a sluggish Geelong and Melbourne will be more competetive against an over-rated Collingwood than many predict (but they'll still annihilate us).

Agree 45HG this season the dees really have killed any joy I had in watching footy and even other teams too.

57 point loss as Darryl Kerrigan would say "tell'em he's dreamin"

Will be another 90 plus loss I reckon.

one of my friends actually think melbourne will only lose by 20 points this week!

Love the passion but just want 1/2 a kilo of what you are both on. As I would make a fortune!

This is the round for us to stand up. We've had some significant off-field tension to keep things lively, the coach has survived and now it's time for the team to stand up and show the world that the club is moving in the right direction. Couple that with the poor form of the Pies' defenders and we could turn this into a shoot-out and get away with an upset. Dees in a thriller.

Geez Carlton are soft.

That first half was disgusting. Boring, soft and poorly-skilled I left at half time and was glad I did even with the big finish.

Cats are such a weird team. Continuously playing single quarters that get the job done.

Swans destructive against the Crows - led by 99 late on 126-27 before taking the foot right off.


Geelong are toying with their form and are due to get beaten. Level with GC at three quarter time, in Geelong, then level with GWS 5 minutes before three quarter time. GWS had lost its previous four games by 83+. Their last four games have all been one quarter efforts - Collingwood (third quarter only, lost because of it), Port Adelaide (ripped them apart in the first quarter, foot off the gas after that), GC (fourth quarter blitz) and GWS (fourth quarter again). The bye might do them good, and Brisbane the week after, before big games against Fremantle and Hawthorn.

Gold Coast are on fire. Not sure how they'll go against Essendon, but after their bye they then have three winnable games - Adelaide at home, Brisbane and Richmond (in Cairns). Could well grab two of those three and be 7-8.

North's season's probably shot now, with their next game against Fremantle in Perth, likely to make them 4-8. Still got to play Richmond and Carlton, before a last three of Essendon, Hawthorn and Collingwood. Don't think they can get enough wins to push past the logjam of teams in the 6-12 bracket.

There's something going on with umpiring and West Coast games.

Terrible calls in the last quarter. Weekly!

Damn... was hoping the eagles lost.

Can anyone foresee the scenario of the eagles missing the eight, then deciding not to renew worsfold's contract, then the dees stepping in with a four year term he can't refuse?

He does fit the category of experienced coach who has had success.


5 from 5 in the tipping so far, and only missed the carlton and ess margin by 6 :)

I was about a hair's breadth away from tipping St Kilda. I'm glad I didn't., so I'm 5 from 5 also.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
