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 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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
