     couple of upsets are on the cards

    I reckon the dogs will get up tonight.

    Carlton a real chance against GWS

    and the bombers are now without McGrath, Francis, Shiel, Hurley, Caldwell. but still should beat the Hawks

    First two agree, and i also agree with the other, but add Hawks could have their team of the Century playing TWSNBN and they wouldn't be "allowed" to win

    Bulldogs have to prove they can take on powerful clubs in hostile environments. Big game for them tonight.

    I Know its counterintuitive but huge Demonland support needed tonight for the Dogs. If they beat the cats then our earlier win against Dogs becomes a sort or 8 point game for the cats loss in chasing us, and sets up the end of year clash also as a true 8 point game for us.  I know it helps the dogs get closer to the Dees , but gives good separation for both of us from 3rd spot, then keeping at least second is in our own hands if we can beat the Power in a few weeks.

    Absolutely agree. It's totally irrelevant having separation from 1st to second but hugely important to have separation from third.

    Tipping 3 boil-overs this week in Dogs to beat Geelong, Carlton to beat GWS and Hawthorn to beat Essendon.

    Be fascinating to see how much ‘noise of affirmation’ 7,000 people can bring in Geelong, and the impact it has on the men in green.

    Also, I hate Geelong.

    How TF do Geelong keep staying top after 16 years?? They are Manchester Utd of the AFL

    Carey reckons Selwood is up there with the best captains of all time. My bollocks! He is a great player no doubt but how many flags has he won as captain?? Zero

    he walked into one of the most talented lists in history.

    This game is a challenge.

    Cats win puts us back on top but my wrath towards geelong has me confused.

    The ...cats...have won ninety out of their last 100 games at the cattery. Wow.

    But maybe going back to second place is what our team needs after most of them stank it up big time v the pies.

    But the cats with their firepower are a huge threat to the flag and we have shown we are not so beatable.

    Mmmmm.

    Hope to see a good game tonight. Gee conditions will be nice and cold sitting there in the crowd. 

    Hope the hawks can beat the bummers, giants blues will be interesting.

    Anyone know how many AFL teams train on the ground they play home games on?

    I’m guessing…

    Geelong
    Brisbane
    Suns
    GWS
    Eagles?
    Swans?

    Who am I missing?

    All this talk of protecting the head - the commentators seem to praise Selwood for “an ear massage”.

    So the VIC government are paranoid about having crowds at games. And when they finally do allow crowds they put 3,500 people on each wing with absolutely no social distancing.

    Makes perfect sense.

    Like everything we hear  “based on best medical science” - please explain. 
    Could easily have twice (or 3x)  the number with distancing.  But that would be far too logical and liberating.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
