    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.

    Wow, just checked.  31 hit outs to 8.  English getting a lesson

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
