Such a 50/50 game for mine.

Jeffy will have is work cut out with Docherty who is in sublime form. I see this as the most important match up today because I reckon Garlett will need to put at least 3 goals on the scoreboard for us to be a chance. I think it was the Rd 2 game that Jeffy chased down Docherty in the F50 and kicked a snag with the resulting HTB decision - more of that please.

Gibbs also concerns me. Accumulates ball, uses it well and hits the scoreboard... Need a tag on Gibbs but not sure who gets that job.

Trying to pick winners this season has completely done my head in, so I'm going with my heart today.  Dees by a skinny margin and sitting 4th spot at the end of the weekend.  How nice would that be?

Would be nice to pot Tigres out of 4th spot wouldnt it...

I suspect Melksham will go to Docherty and Vince to Gibbs.

I know, I'm just teasing. I just feel like the purveying mood around here is fear.

We've been really competitive for 95% of the season. I've got no reason to suspect we won't today. 

im tipping us to win  and hope we win well  i was just saying its going to be a  wet day and infor a hard slog

which weather forecast are you looking at????  There's a 5% chance of rain in the 4-7pm window as per the BoM site

Today we really need the leaders to lead and the up and comers, Oliver, Petracca et al, to up and come.

Carlton traditionally play a very defensive game.

I went to the Docklands and watched their upset win against GWS. Their defence sits back and just picked off the run and carry of the Giants. This then allowed them to quickly counter attack through unmarked men and then take a mark in the forward line.

Our normal game plan does not work well against this style so I trust that Goodwin has some tricks up his sleeve. One obvious ploy is to leave a quick mobile tall near the forward line to counter balance the defensive line. I'm sure there are others.

Not how I would look at it. GWS are hopeless at putting pressure on the counter attack from their forward 50. We are one of the best at that so Carlton shouldn't find it anywhere near as easy as they did against the Giants.

Go Dees.

I didnt mean we were gone.....i was just saying how fast it can happen.


We are quite tall, I wonder if that will hurt us if it's wet?

The cards are unsettled today, my friends. The minor arcana hint at difficulties with opposing forces, and the revealing of the Chariot was perplexing, to say the least. The adjacency of the Hanged Man and The World could suggest a fast, open game but, then again, when The Magician appeared, could it imply a slog, with too many defensive roles for an attractive game.

Dees by 13 points.

Big game today...Really it is

prepare them right Simon, it's what a good coach does. 

Smack them hard in the first quarter, then dictate the game. 

Carlscum are well coached kids, we have no excuse now that Garlett Gawn and Jesse are out there

I think you should sit out the next pass around of any spliff.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
