Bye Round 11 - Non MFC Games

Just entering my tips for this round and thought there's actually a few that could go either way (as per normal).

Will the GCS bounce back and cause an upset against the Eagles?

Can North beat Richmond or does anyone really GAF?

Also think the Freo vs Pies game is a tough one to call but I've gone with the Dockers.

My tips in bold:

Thursday, June 1
Port Adelaide vs. Hawthorn (AO) (N)
Friday, June 2
Geelong Cats vs. Adelaide Crows (SS) (N)
Saturday, June 3
Gold Coast SUNS vs. West Coast Eagles (MS)
GWS GIANTS vs. Essendon (SP) (T)
North Melbourne vs. Richmond (ES) (N)
Sunday, June 4
Fremantle vs. Collingwood (DS) (T)

Regardless of any outcomes, we have a long weekend in WA and I'll be wetting a few lines with my young bloke and enjoying the time not spent thinking about the Demons.

This bye round is therapeutic.

    Some really interesting games.  

    Port losing would be good as we'd be a game behind them.. but the Hawks would then be on equal points with us.

    Same goes for the Kangas Richmond games, and Freo Collingwood games. 

    Reckon the Suns can beat the Eagles.   Gold Coast home game and Josh Kennedy is out.  That would really open up the 8 even further.

    GWS please belt Essendon into submission.

    Quite a few of what we traditionally call 8 point games there including a few, (Port v Hawthorn) that could for example be almost season ending for one or more of the teams.

    I like the Thursday night games. Would love it if our "for sale" home games could be Thursday FTA games.

    Am putting aside all my biases and just hoping all the sides currently in the 8 get beaten (with Geelong beating Adelaide so as to lessen the probability of Crows home finals).  I still haven't given up a top four finish for the Dees but we'd want to get a ruckman back (as well as Hogan) pretty promptly and get on our bike!

    Pulling in all of my biases, I like your thinking. We sneak into the top 4 vs a top seeded Simmonds Stadium side that has been undefeated in 2nd half of year and proceed to maul them at the G and win by 50. (Shades of 00 v Kangas)

    GWS destroys the Crows, and the Crows limp off to a home loss against the Dogs. We play the Dogs in an epic prelim tussle that sees Hogan kick a goal after the siren to win it for us.

    GWS easily dispense with the Cats at home.

    Melb v GWS - Heavy weight battle Number 1. It's like the Cavs v GSW every year. We have Lebron Oliver and they have a manufactured super-team

    Reaches for the tissue

    yeah... but how does it end ?

    Trying to remember the year but it was in the early days of the odd number of teams thus giving each team a bye at different times of the year. We were red hot up to the bye and then barely won a match after the bye. Somehow because other teams below us also lost we managed to stay in the final five or six. Hope this bye sees the start of red hot stretch but somehow MFCSS prevents me from being too confident until I see those five W's in a row.

    Should be good for some LOL's and headless chook moments.

    Or watch him get a few early touches so the usual crowd can lament the trade and condemn the FD for ever getting rid of him.

    Toumpas isn't going to make it as an afl player. He has no contested game still. 

  • Quote

    Toumpas is awful. Threw the ball onto the foot and went straight to Hawthorn. His positioning is awful and his teammates blatantly ignore him.

  • Quote

    It's gunna be a long night especially when the commentators continually bark on about the "time remaining" when Dixon is shooting for goal. 

    We know what happened last week get over it and move on please.

    This is how you play the 1st Quarter...

    Do we actually play first quarters?

    This is just delightful.

    How did we lose to this rabble? 

    Ah well. They're going nowhere for a little while, which is great.

    If I could choose the way I want the Dees to play, it is how Port are playing in the first quarter. Aggressive, lots of run from half back, a power forward in control of the 50m arc, some seriously great decision making, and A+ skills. I love watching footy played this well, especially against the Hawks.

    Anyone think Clarkson will walk back to his hotel room tonight :)

    He might do so at half time now.

    Gee wiz how good does Ryder look at the minute, he is a big key for Port.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
