It's odd that after this round (barring a draw), one of Geelong and Brisbane will be winless and one of Adelaide and Sydney will be undefeated.  Early days, of course.

    A fascinating round for 3 of last year's finalists and who will make it this year.. 

    • Pies, Cats and LIons are 0-1. 
    • Cats play Lions this week so one of them will go 0-2.. 
    • Pies play Carlton and if they lose they will also go 0-2.  If Carlton loose and go 0-2 it snuffs out their chances of finals.

    In the last 10 years 58 teams have started 0-2 but only 5 have gone on to play finals.  And in the history of the game only 2 poor starters (0-2) have subsequently won a premiership. 

    So two of Pies, Cats, Lions and Blues will each have less than 10% chance of making finals.

    Even if Pies win and go 1-1, imv they have little chance of making finals.

    On my reckoning that is two final 8 spots for the taking!

    Now, let's beat the Saints,  Dees.

    Prefer a draw tonight but if not probably a Pies win

    Could not stand a Carlton bandwagon

    Bulldogs and Eagles could be interesting... in a non covid world I would probably have gone along... nice 32k crowd at Docklands

    May Carlton & Collingwood inflict vicious injuries upon each other

    That is all that counts. 
    The result is evil and disgusting whichever way it falls

    Carlton should win tonight, Williams and Martin come in and make them a lot better.  O Mac with 3 off the bench this time

    Bears to beat the Cats

    Crows to beat Sydney - all 16 'experts' have tipped Sydney but I reckon the Crows are up an about

    Port - 100pt win

    Gold Coast 70 pt win

    Tigers by plently

    Dogs in a close one

    Giants in another close on

    Carlton

    Geelong home advantage enough

    No idea between Sydney and the Crows

    Port easily

    Gold Coast without too much fuss

    Tigers by plenty

    Doggies too strong for the Eagles

    GWS will out-muscle an under-manned Freo

    Be positive - one of those clubs will finish the game deeply miserable, while the other will be given false hope and fail to address their deficiencies.

    Personally, I think Carlton do false hope and failure to address deficiencies much more enthusiastically than Collingwood.  Plus, Collingwood are back on their long slow slide while Carlton really could be a menace in finals over the next few years... if... they stay humble enough to work on their problems instead of getting to finals and then sacking their coach because some other 'star' coach insisted he could take the (actually quite deficient) list to a premiership. So; misery for Collingwood and complacency for Carlton is definitely the best result.

    I would be happy with a Blues win DJ. With the exception on when the pies play Adelaide and WCE I never barrack for them. Carn the blues.

    C'wood to win in an ugly brawl to knock the smile off Carlton, and so Buckley can stay as coach for that little bit longer. (Hopefully a lot longer.)

    Blues and Pies are 127 wins apiece head to head.... I’m on the draw.

    Unless Cox takes a viagra and stands up for once, the Blues have this. The pies line up is average

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
