The only downside to our so-far improved prospects this year is that it matters a lot to us which other team beats which other team.  I'm forced to barrack for teams I hate just because it improves our top 8 prospects.  Arrrggghhhhh!

Yes Bombay. I think Swans but $3.00 for a undefeated team seems crazy

Rampe is in great form BBO but Richards being out for me swings it in Norths favour.

It is cold but conditions still good.

North are going to get thumped tonight ,they have had such an easy start to the season.

Their first game Adelaide,currently 8th,they beat by 10 points,same scoring shots though.

                         Lions currently 16th,lions kicked bad,32 shots to 28 not a convincing win.

                         US -- 31 shots each and umpiring gave then that game.

                         Freo currently 18th on the ladder and Freo kicked bad 31 shots to 32.

                        gold coast--15th on the ladder 29 to 26 shots.

                       Then they played the Dogs won,16 shots to 15. close game

                     They then played the Saints,won,11.16  -  11.9.  Saints are 13 th on the ladder.

                    Next up,Essendon, they won,24 shots to 20.

                    and last week,fair enough Carlton they won well.

But tonight they come up against a real team, They don't deserve to be 9--0.

Quietly hoping they do. Know a few Norf supporters and they all need to be taken down a peg or two.

If Norf win I'll eat my hat.

North are better than Swans by a fair margin, played in Sydney makes it interesting.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
