Lol I suppose this is all good luck to Collingwood?

    My 5 leg multi has been screwed by the pies but I’m still happy that the Tigers are a rabble. 

    they’ll bottom our hard. Hard

    I see Demonland has given us all a rocket.

    I'm happy to have a rocket but I really don't want to relocate.

    It’s like playing whack a mole for the last two spots in the 8.

    Assuming Richmond and West Coast finish this round in the 8, here's the top 8's record vs the top 8:

    1. Melbourne - 6-0
    2. Sydney - 5-2
    3. Geelong - 5-3
    4. Bulldogs - 4-4
    5. Brisbane - 3-4
    6. West Coast - 2-4
    7. Port - 2-5
    8. Richmond - 1-6

    Ok, updating this to swap Fremantle in for Richmond (West Coast can't drop out of the 8 unless they lose to North and shed 13%, so I feel pretty safe this time...):

    1. Melbourne - 6-0
    2. Bulldogs - 5-3
    3. Sydney - 4-3
    4. Geelong - 4-3
    5. Brisbane - 3-4
    6. West Coast - 2-4
    7. Port - 2-5
    8. Fremantle - 1-5

    Great win to the Swans. They and the saints have done us a huge favour. Makes our win over Port doubly valuable.

    Depends if you see us competing with the dogs for top 4 or top 2. Or if you prefer the Swans to be out of the equation for top 4. I would have preferred a dogs win. The swans have a fairly easy run home, could get to 15 wins

    Thursday night Dees play great footy to win a big game.

    Saturday - a full day slowly pottering in the garden followed by slow roasted lamb over a day-long fire pit, with a nice Barossa red. Saints beat the Lions. Watched all 3 sets of Barty playing the stick inset from Czech.

    Sunday meal at Pratty's Patch celebrating 29 years of marriage. Bulldogs show their pressure weakness again and lose to the Swans. Tiges get done. 

    Feeling like a really smug b**tard tonight with the woodfire on and the Dees on top of the ladder. Look out Mrs Maldonboy!

    The season is actually getting a lot more interesting. Usuallly at this time of year the 8 is set, but the Suns, Saints, bombers, Freo etc are all in form. No easy games. 

    thanks Christ we banked wins early

    This is crazy, looking like six teams playing for the last two spots in the 8. Can’t see the Swans missing out now.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
