How good would a Saints win be. 

Amazing. But nothing would be more 2021 than Geelong winning a flag.

    Win tomorrow and gauranteed top 2 gives us the option to rest some players v Geelong if they are going to scrap the bye

    No it doesn't. Only Guarantees top three.

    If we happen to play the Doggies in a final, I really hope we go after Cody Weightman. He runs his mouth a lot. Real small man syndrome. I would be going after him in a final.

    I despise him. He’s a real [censored].

    Are you assuming St Kilda are beating Geelong or Dogs are beating Port next week?

    Are Dogs in a form slump? 
    Can we all agree Clarkson being dumped by Hawthorn is the worst call any club has made this decade?

    This does not really help us. if we lose to Geelong and Port beat the dogs we play our first final in SA.  Have to win both games.

    Another attractive proposition is that Lions win both and Doggies lose next week with enough % diff that they drop out of top 4. Wouldn’t that me something.

    Only watched Q4  - is it too much a mixed metaphor to say frost seems on fire?

    I will allow it as technically touching a really cold substance can cause a burn.

    Oh glory days, dogs losing and the Hawks winning a valueless game....

    That would be the absolute worst. Rather Port win TBH. 

    If we lose the grand final to Geelong I am done. Might as well carve up that tombstone.

    Again, take clearance away from the Bulldogs and they can't win. You beauty.

    You've also got to wonder whether injuries to Dunkley and Treloar has lulled them into a false sense of security about their midfield strength. So many of their mids can be exposed going the other way.

    If Saints beat Geelong... could be a very enjoyable day

    Almost Bradbury (esque)

    I'm an eternal optimist Diamond, but even I can't see this happening (hoping, secretly and bizarrely that posting this will make it happen)

    I can’t see Dogs losing 3 in a row. Would be some implosion!

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
