Geez a port win and Dees win will give us a 2 game buffer at the top of the ladder. Fingers crossed we bring the pressure on Sunday.

    Wouldn't mind seeing the saints get up over the Cats. Highly unlikely though.

    Reckon GWS are a big chance against the Tiges.

    One morereason to dislike the Pies.......

    Rigging mark of the week....

    “We imagine it’ll be pretty hard for Checkers to beat Shai Bolton... Give it your all, Magpie Army,” the Magpies tweeted on Monday.

    The move proved a success, with the Magpies’ forward prevailing with just over half the fan vote.

    “Shoutout to the Magpie Army, you’ve done it,” Collingwood tweeted.

    The surprise voting result caused a storm of discussion on social media.

    “With all due respect to Brody, this wasn’t mark of the week. I reckon he would even agree with that,” Richmond great Matthew Richardson tweeted.

    Top of the ladder joy: as long as you keep winning at least one team falls further behind you in every other game!

    Example: If Port beat the Dogs, we go two games clear on top of the ladder.  But if the Dogs beat Port we go THREE games clear for securing a top-2 spot.

    When you're winning, everything is a win.

    I love that all the club and players have to think about is winning and the rest will take care of itself.

    Have now assumed we will be top 4 (well why not)

    Optimist says you want the interstate teams at 3 and 4. (Home ground advantage)

    Pessimist says you want to maximise the number of Vic teams in top 4 (avoids an interstate game)

    mmm I'll have to think on it but a Geelong loss would be nice either way

    I want the dogs to win as I would rather be 3 games clear of 3rd than 2 games clear of second. There is no difference between 1st and 2nd.

    Good point re. the Dogs over Port scenario. It's such an unfamiliar feeling as a (1980s onward) Melbourne supporter, this whole top-of-the-ladder caper!

    Keep waiting for the Cats to fall.  They are not good enough to bring consistent effort each week

    Who knows what you'll get with the Saints. could be an interesting game tonight

    Really good point.

    The only advantage of 1st over 2nd is you get the 8 day break into a GF if both sides qualify...which hasn't happened since 2014 (Sydney V Hawks)

    They are giving Geelong a talk up after beating up on the Tiges. 

    Hope they don't get consistency and the saints come waltzing in.

    There's no way that Geelong are premiership favourites like they crapped on at the start of the telecast

    They've missed so many easy shots, they should be up by 10 goals

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
