taking the longer term view and putting to one side the top of the table clash there are some delicious matches to consider.

If you think we can make top 4 you want the least number of interstate teams in the four. (Unless we think we end 1 or 2 which I am far from thinking.)

On that basis we probably want Freo to beat the eagles and Port to beat Brisbane. (Of course Brisbane beating Port gives us one more game on Port and increases the chances of top 2)

Hell it's hard

As to the Tigers game I would love to go top but a Tiger loss gives us another game on them.

Swans beating Cats would be nice as well.

So with all those caveats...

Dogs

Pies (who cares)

Hawks (do we care)

Port

Swans

Us

Blues

Freo

    Tonight’s game is the interesting one:  Are the Dogs going to put a marker into the Tigers, or will the Tigers show they are still in the main group of contenders.  Both sides with injuries.

     

    Never seen a demons team at $1.01.

    Reckon we softened up the Tiges last week and the doggies will capitalise this week. I think the Doggies will account for them pretty easily actually. 5-6 goal win in fact

    Here's a good article on why the Saints aren't firing

    Jack Steele, Brad Crouch, Bradley Hill and Seb Ross are all winners of AFL club best-and-fairest awards. Along with Zak Jones and Jack Billings they are all between 25 and 27. This is a group that should be close to the peak of its powers. And yet it is misfiring. The Age approached coaching staff from rival clubs - speaking this week on the condition of anonymity - in a bid to better understand where St Kilda are being let down....

    A theme from the rival views espoused was that the Saints had been drawn towards the ball too much and not paying enough respect defensively to their opponents. While a lack of cohesion - Crouch is only four games into his St Kilda career - was identified as part of the explanation, there was also a suggestion that the Saints’ midfielders looked overly focused on themselves and not in playing their part in a system.

    No different to us as Oliver, Petracca, Viney et al matured... but I guess the concern would be they are only 23-25 - not a further 2-4 years further along a career path.

    To me it speaks of a lack of trust - trust in the game plan as well as trust in other players to commit to their own roles, which then lends itself to self-preservation and behaviours which are not beneficial to the team

    (fight, flight or freeze)... 

    (move towards ball,  not running defensively, ball watching) respectively.

    Ultimately - not playing their role.

    Dogs first test tonight.... I think the way Richmond defend the G and their tall forwards will be too much for the dogs.

    Well they were my choices and I often get 5 out of 9

    Sure, a missed HTB in front of Tiger goal, but how in the world is that not 50 m against Riewoldt when called to “get up, let go” and just ignored it?

    BT : The Bulldogs are the best defensive side and the the attacking team in the comp, that’s what the numbers tell us at the moment.

    Whilst true he failed to mention that they’ve also played North and the Suns.

    to my mind Richmond or half the side have lost the hunger. they are champions and know it. and only work hard enough every now and then.   They can be dangerous though

    Lynch is getting ample opportunities but can't take advantage. Credit to Tomlinson for not even giving him a look in last week.

    I know a Footscray loss tonight could see us go top on Sunday but geez it would be good to have Richmond miss finals.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
