Would love to see Freo knock over the pies for obvious reasons. I just don't want the pies getting a double chance

Sydney v Hawks will be interesting

But i really think the game that will be the highest viewing game and the most popular is nth v saints tucked away at 4:40. Not

What I would find hilarious but it wont happen is GC best geelong, they miss out on the finals and port slide in. Actually assuming Port beat the scum tomorrow night, which I hope they do they will be in the 8 until geelong play.

    The only upside of the filth getting the double chance is the possibility of them going out in straight sets ...

    I hate the filth ....

    my preference would be to seek revenge on the cats in 2 weeks, to say we owe them is an understatement.

    I wouldn’t be discounting the Dockers. They have an unpredictably dual nature in that they are the competition’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: usually very good on their home deck but they go shockingly when they have to travel away.  

    Barring the local derby games, Freo are 7-3 on their home ground this year. Their scalps include both Adelaide teams and earlier this year they nearly knocked over the Eagles at the venue.     

    I’m backing them in to upset the Pies.

    Can't really see any upsets this weekend. Maybe the saints over North. Us and gws about the hardest to pick.

    Just as there is a lot at stake in ladder position for the top 8 there will also be jockeying for position outside the 8 for Draft position.  eg 3 teams are on 44 pts so they can shift 3 spots in the draft.   Ditto a few spots for teams further down.

    I doubt the likes of Freo will try too hard to beat the Pies, or North try too hard to beat the Saints.  Adelaide may even let Carlton win to lock in draft pick 7 - critical for Adelaide in a draft top heavy with SA talent.  

    A very interesting round...

    Who do we all think will take out the Coleman?
    Riewoldt and Brown in the box seat but Hawkins playing against the Suns could have a field day.
    By the time Sunday rolls around Ben Brown will know exactly how many he needs and I reckon the North boys will try and feed him all day. Depends which Saints turn up as to how many he kicks.

    60   Jack Riewoldt  (Vs Dogs – Sat avo)
    58   Ben Brown  (Vs Saints – Sun avo)
    57   Lance Franklin  (Vs Hawks – Sat night)  *potentially not playing based on recent commentary
    56   Tom Hawkins  (Vs Suns – Sat avo)
    52   Luke Breust  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - 
    47  Jesse Hogan  (Not playing)
    46  Jack Gunston  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
    45  Tom McDonald  (Vs GWS – Sun avo)

    Well done to Jesse and Tom who will likely both finish within the top 10.

    I so want Geeeeelong to win so we can have the pleasure of thumping them out of the finals. Our two loses to them earlier MUST burn deep within our boys and staff. Just want to see their smug faces in serious pain. Their arrogance really upsets me.

    Dead rubber tonight.

    I don't wish injury on any player but I would like to see the 10 best players from Port and Essendon all do their ACL and miss all of 2019.

    We have never had 20 ACL tears in the same game so maybe tonights the night.

    Port is an absolute rabble. I guess Jack Watts was the problem all along…?

    Good question, they were 11-4 and will miss.

    This is hilarious what's happened in the Port v Ess match!

    Just turned the match on and after three minutes turned it off. In that time Brooooose climaxed three times over the druggies. RETIRE now you nuff nuff. He just insult's everyone's intelligence.

    You would have to say now that Port won’t win by 150 points tonight and therefore, we are officially in the final 8.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • 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?
