Big game for NM this weekend, but it has me in a tizzy.

I have no idea who I want to win this one because it sucks either way.

Would love NM to lose so the world can finally see how big a group of pretenders they really are, but that means i want the Pies to win. Yuk!!!

If the Pies do win they will inevitably be ahead of us on the ladder. Yuk!!!

I would love the Pies to lose so they stay below us but that means NM get another game ahead of us and i would love, love, love to finish ahead of them this year.

And a draw doesn't help because that's the worst of both worlds (NM further ahead and Pies above us).

What to do?

Yes we should.

North Melbourne have spent the last 6-8 years building their list to get to this. I can't imagine at last years board meeting they set the expectation as 'hope we can finish 8th'. Their biggest c

Still one of my favourites. I don't think of him as a Pies player as that would make it impossible to like him. I consider him a Melbourne fan who ended up at the wrong club.

 The importance of Collingwood losing transcends any other consideration.

The importance of Noughts Plummet is of equal importance this time.

In fact i might barrack for a Filth win just this once

In a strange sort of way I wouldn't be to disappointed if the pies got up. I don't know why but this Nth downfall has been funny. I mean Nth area team that have struggled in the past with finances and on the field and the AFL tried to re locate them but for some reason they just bug me. Maybe it's because we can't beat them or Brad Scott annoys me the way he just rips into officials and umpires. I don't know. But I don't like the pies either. Maybe it's Lindsay Thomas as well who I don't really like either. 

Anyway the game of the round surely has to be Essendon v Brisbane. I actually think the bombers will get up. Maybe they will have a draw. But if that rabble of a team called Brisbane beat them it's more embarrassing for us I reckon.

Howe is having a big impact so far.

I love how they let him kick in.

    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

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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
