Interestingly there are no dead-rubbers this weekend despite it being round 22. Although many games look like they will be one-sided we saw from last week, anything can happen

Do we know which games we want to go our way to set up the preferable finals scenario? or too early?

Hopefully the Saints give the Cats a bruising encounter. Finals still on the line for the saints and they have been in better form

Giants should take care of the Tigers tonight, with some good players back.

    In theory most games look straight forward, but who knows with this season.

    Gone GWS tonight in an upset (even with Green out) as I'm sitting third in the tipping at work and 1 behind 2nd.  Think GWS have more incentive to do well and tigers haven't been good against good opposition lately. 

    Saints maybe but who could trust them. Same with blues...

    Some Geelong fans on footy sites are claiming that he won't play again this year.

    If this is the case, that's a huge blow for them.

    I foolishly made that call two weeks ago….I thought both Hawks and Pies were definitely going to tank from here on in.

    Rd 20 : 

    Blues over Saints

    Pies over Eagles

    Hawks over Lions 

    Freo over Tigers

    Rd 21 : 

    Giants over Cats

    Suns over Blues (kind of an upset)

    Saints over Swans

    Bombers over Dogs

    With 2 weeks left I lead the work footy tipping by 3, should of been 2 but I accidentally tipped GWS by mistake, what luck. But surely this is the week that it’s a straight fwd round.

    Giants 

    Dogs

    Cats

    Power

    Lions

    Swans

    Dees

    Bombers

    Eagles

    Taking tonight’s game each in my multis, hopefully some return this weekend .

    I’ve been pouring over the weather reports in five different states to determine which of this weekend’s games is likely to be affected by adverse weather. Saturday night’s game at the Gabba is the most likely and my assessment is that Collingwood will take the money against Brisbane after an adjournment of half an hour due to tropical rainfall accompanied by hurricane force winds and a thunderstorm.

    Is this a gws home game?

    And if so why is hardwick complaining about being at marvel?

    Would love the Giants to knock off the Tigers and end their finals chances once and for all.

    But the more belief GWS get, the more dangerous they’ll become in the finals. Just want to see a good match, and for the Dees to win Sunday.

    Last weekend was our lottery ticket coming up trumps.

    It is.

    They should’ve played it down at KP to be fair, just to stick it up Hardwick all the more.

    A Gws at full strength is quite a side.

    And playing without supporters hurts them not😁

    Nice to see that the work experience kid is still at AFL House despite lockdown.

    Tigers - yellow and black.  Umpires - yellow and black.  

    It just beggars belief when they could have gone with fluoro green, light blue or even white for the umps.

    • 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.
