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

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
