Those are Melbourne times so only 6:50/40pm in Qld.

30 degrees and a stiff wind predicted for each day so it could be a tough slog for the competing teams.

Richmond and who knows with the other

    Head says Tigers, heart says Saints.

    In the other game, I'm torn between dismay that one of them will win and go through to a prelim and elation that one of them will lose and be eliminated.

    Would have to be a mammoth effort by the Saints to get up against the Tigers tomorrow night. They have lost three important players and off field had the distraction of the Long tribunal and appeal. I’m not sure they’re as focused as they should be.

    The Geelong v Collingwood game is line ball. The Pies got over the line last week thanks to a lot of things going their way. If they can keep up that momentum, the game’s theirs against an oldish side that are starting to look tired at the wrong end of the season.

    Tigers and Cats.

    Saints without Ryder, Long and Carlisle will give a yelp for three quarters but lose by 23 points.

    Collingwood were great last week, but will hit a brick wall after their trip to the west. Have a feeling Hawkins will have a day out.

    I have no particular fondness  for the Saints but I’d love them to beat the Toiges. Just can’t see it happening 

    The filth must be on a roll after fixing up the Weagles.  I reckon they’ll win quite easily!! They are also good value @ 2.35 on Sportsbet

    The Saints will have a real crack tonight. Nothing to lose. Ratten will have them pumped

    Richmond over Saints, though I'd be delighted if this went the other way.

    Geelong vs Collingwood? This is like being given the choice of dying from either Ebola or dysentery.

    I went 0-4 last week so I will say tigers and the filth.

    I reckon Geelong ware beating Collingwood.

    This is a team that beat St Kilda by 10 goals on a Monday and then backed up on the Friday to spank Port by another 10 goals.

    It would be an absolute indictment if this full strength side goes out in straight settys.

    Sadly I think tonight will be on sided. If Ryder was in for the saints I'd give them a chance but I think the tigs will be to experienced for them. In saying that I hope the saints can win. 

    I hope the cats win tomorrow night, only based on the fact I do not collingwood getting to a prelim giving them a chance to get to the gf.

    Geez it’s embarrassing we are out of the finals with rubbish teams like the Saints playing

    The holding the ball, incorrect disposal rule has reappeared! Been missing for 6 to 10 rounds but now back. Amazing.

    The MFC should be ashamed we finished below the Aints 

    Seriously. There is nowhere to hide

    i doubt any of the players are watching though, it’s holiday time for them

    Cotchin tackle... would be 2 weeks for ANB

    That was shocking, incredibly dangerous and Cotchin always seems to get away with it.

    Yep, will probably get a fine for that but honestly deserves weeks.

    In a fair system he would get at least a week but as we know it's not a fair system.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
