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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
