To start the weekend it is Sydney vs Carlton.

I don't know if many people read the 'roar' aussie rules (yes they call our game by its correct name) website but it is quite good - their writers tell it as it is without histrionics.

In this article about tonight's game this line caught my eye:  :.. who would want to watch a developing club like them [Carlton] continue to suffer Friday night humiliation when we could be watching an up-and-coming club like Melbourne?"  Ha, ha!

Hard to imagine we won't get a few marquee time slots next year.  Earn us a few fans and a few members perhaps? 

Reading the last few paras of the article shows that Sydney really gets what Fri night footy is about.

Suns over the Cats?

Bombers over the Tigers?

Hawks v Port will be interesting.

Lions should give North a run for their money.

I'm tipping a Lion's win - and even after that Melbourne still wont have beaten anyone of recognition...

Reckon Bummers have a fair chance. Lions could win.


Brizzy to beat the severely overrrated North.

They have a good match up for Brown too -  rising star Harris Andrews.

Gold Coast have a decent record v Cats up there I was told by a cats supporter who is peaking about the game.

The first upset has already occurred.

I'm upset that Carlton are part of another televised Friday night game.

It's an outrage!

unbelievable isn't it

as it was last year

Well, tonight is going to be a snore fest of the highest order. Let's hope Caaaaaarlton don't gift Sydney a 15% percentage boost.


Some of the other games are going to get more interesting as the season progresses - just another benefit of some recent success! But no matter what, I’m hoping Collingwood really spend their tickets this weekend ?

I actually enjoy watching Carlton lose on Friday nights.

It’s a cold night. Will park myself in front of the telly for Swan/Blues game with a hot cup of camomile tea,  a hot water bottle and hope to be asleep by 9pm.

Fair call, their losing margin has reduced significantly this year. Definitely playing a better brand of footy this year.

Socceroos are playing the Czech Republic. Ill be watching that.

Yep 9.30pm. KO

Really looking forward to seeing another epic encounter on Friday night with the highly competitive Blues. ?

The AFL did this to themselves and deserve every bit of criticism they’re getting.

Does seem a silly fixture considering Carlton lost their last game to Sydney in Rnd 23 by 81pts with Buddy kicking more goals than Carlton. Melbourne were already clearly on the up last year.

Afl are not the brightest bunch at times.

If Carlton win the second quarter tonight,

Then that would make it 5 consecutive winning second quarters against NSW teams. 

Impressive!

 


Top 9 will beat bottom 9

Sydneys indigenous jumper looks a tad different. Interesting look.

If I didn't know better I would say the AFL have told the umps to pay any 50/50 decision to Carlton.

...but...

Rule of the week...free kick Carlton.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
