Just surprised the cats aren't getting "tired" yet toward the end of their games, and who coaches them again, ah, that's right.

Same at TWSNBN they won't get tired, they got a good coach too

Anyone else wondering if North are tanking?

They have rested/dropped Zeibell/Goldstein.  Now Tarrant is 'injured' in the warm up and a debutante is coming in. 

I find the gifting a game to Ess nauseating.

A freebie win to drug cheats Essendon, and then North will bring all their best players back to face us next week.

That is a weird plan! 

They have a better chance of beating Ess today than us next week:  We almost beat them in Tassie last year when Goldstein was BOG and is now struggling where ever he plays.  We took it up to them a few months ago and even North supporters say they won because they had a 19th player on their side who was dressed in yellow. 

I would love that to be Scott's plan and watch it backfire spectacularly when we thrash them.  We are no longer someone's 'bunny'!

The conspiracy theorist in me says ... no.... it's just the usual MFCSS

Fascinating though in that we are only one of three teams North plays at Iceberg Park (Hobart). The others were Adelaide and GWS. Yet they played Eagles and Suns at Docklands.

Another example of our terrible fixture

Of course they are tanking...

The Suns must be the most underwhelming club in the league. Still, they knock off the Dogs and that's about curtains for them.

 

The only bright thing in that club's future is their name.

They really should relocate to Tassie.

It would save everyone money and give the Lions some chance in a really tough market

Doggies home against the Suns  with a good win up north.

Hell that ladder around us is looking so crowded .

My analysis says we should hope for a draw between Saints and Swans tonight but failing that a close win by the Saints.

Keeps us one win in front of the Swans who would otherwise pass us on percentage.

You could make a case that a Saints loss is better but it's so close.

Not sure who I'm barracking for tonight - Swans or the Saints.  I don't think it matters too much though as I think the Swans might give them a touch up.

I am hoping for a tough encounter with numerous injuries / reports and a 1 point win to Sydney.

you make a good point but remember a few years back where the SA supporters didn't turn up for the first final because they were saving their money for the bigger finals to come.

Geelong will argue that the extra revenue from finals games is part of their stadium business case.

Other clubs should simply say ... ok but we want 50% of the seats offered to non Geelong members. If that were to happen the Geelong members would soon be screaming for the game to be moved.

That's exactly what would happen as the AFL owns the gates/stadium for the finals.

Looks like joey Montagna is close to done for the season and career(hamstring).Usually has solid games against us.

Is it all over for NIck. Watching tonight's game I have seen him get two hand balls.

And the Saints still rely on both of them, proving they are fools gold and a team going nowhere.

Also Callum Sinclair is gonna kick 10 goals on them.

Classic St.Failure.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
