    Picking from a what is good for MFC viewpoint there are several interesting matches.

    If Adelaide could bet the Bombers that would be fantastic.

    As for the others depends if you are an optimist or a pessimist. Believing us to be clearly top 4 material ?I'm going for

    GWS

    North

    Port

    Dockers

    Eagles

    Bulldogs

    Hawks and Swans to draw

    And Storm to thrash the Broncos !!

    Not fussed who wins tonight. Don't mind either team. 

    I'd love to see Adelaide get up and beat the bummers. That would be fantastic.

    Should actually be a pretty watchable game tonight. Both teams happy to play with an offensive mindset so hopefully we see a few goals kicked.

    Would prefer a Suns win tonight.  Think it helps us more, as they will likely run out of steam in the seasons 2nd half anyway.    Dogs one of our main competitors for a spot in the 8.

    really, dogs should be a top 6 side

    they've disappointed since the surprise premiership

    sigh...i'd love a surprise premiership...

    Half Time and neither side has impressed at this point in time. 

    The other thing that’s not impressing is the rain and the predictions that it’s going to hang around the Coast for the next few days and affect our game on Sunday.

     It should also impact our team selection and I’m thinking Nathan Jones is firming for a return. T. Mac also still a chance as well.

    Weightman - 0 posies into the third.  Runs around packs like a seagull looking for a chip.

    Post that in the Weightman thread!

    Pickett all day, every day.

    I’ve really enjoyed the Suns v Dogs game. 
    English has gone from a bag full of chocolates to the boiled lollies this week. 
    I really enjoy seeing Libba back to his best, tough little nugget and just keeps bobbing up for stats and goals. 

    The ground is going to struggle with the weather on the way.

    Gold Coast is a league leader for defensive pressure.

    I'm sorry but I simply don't rate the doggies.

    They've got a gun midfield with a forward line that only works on some weeks.  When it's off they can't score at all.  Granted, the weather didn't help later in the game, but at they can be totally impotent inside 50.

    Also, anyone feel ill when Billy Gowers marked the ball with about 30 seconds left and then turned it over with a shocker of a kick.  I swear he could have been wearing a Melbourne jumper when he did that.

    100%. He had players everywhere or he could have chewed up time. Instead he did his Angus Brayshaw impersonation and shanked one into the corridor and hit the GC on the [censored]

    I'm getting really really really REALLY tired of the commentators fawning over Rankine!!  Even when he kicked behinds in the last, they were making it seem like it was part of a cunning plan! (did love his mark though)

    Me too! He's kicked 6.9 for the year and has burnt some team mates

    I think the novelty will wear off pretty quickly with him. He can have all the tricks in the world, but eventually he will have to tow the line for the team and he will be watching from the stands

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
