A Port win keeps us in touch with the top 2 and a home final + double chance (thinking big)

A Tigers win leaves Port with 6 wins after 11 games and gives us a two game buffer inside the 8.

 

Edit - We already  have a 2 game buffer inside the 8 even if Port wins.  But it will give us more breathing space.

    If we just keep on winning, everything else doesn't matter.

    You need to update your interests, no longer just 'trade breaking'.

    Hoping T.Boak has a big one...SC self interest.

    But we won't so analysing the pros and cons of who we want to win is a valid exercise.

    On the assumption that Tigers are a definite top 4 which is widely agreed a Port loss is our best outcome as it gives us just that extra little buffer in making the 8..

    Any word on Spargo joining Dusty in NZ for a rest?

    I’ve heard whispers that Spargo was inside Dusty’s backpack that he took onto the plane.

    Hope it’s not United Airlines.

    Private airline. Dusty’s old man needed some ‘packages’ bought over.

    Just as long as the 'packages' are in the 'prison wallet' and Spargo isn't.

    You could fit one and a half Charlie Spargos in there.

    I realise that Dustin Martin is out but who else is out to cause Richmond to be $2 plus underdogs.

    Pardon my ignorance but I've been travelling

    thanks

    Dusty out means Port will roll them and prance around like millionaires, claiming they are Top 4 material.  Puke.

    Fritsch for Watts is the biggest upgrade of two players I can remember.

    Neither of these teams is very good. I'd back us to beat Port and Richmond (at AO at least, not that we'll play them there) handily.

    Jack Watts reached his career peak on QB last year. All downhill from there.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
