Optimistic or in denial?

Maybe he means reading an atlas.

    If Clarko has just told the truth that he is taking next year off to travel the world, then Ross Lyon is probably the next Blues Coach.  

    Adam Cerra was on his way to Richmond mid year, before the Carlton slide, last 6 weeks or go that dynamic change from staying at Freo or going to Carlton.

    So from around that time his player manager must have gotten a sniff that Ross was the next boss of the blues.

    It is simple really. We want the dogs to win so then the result tmrw night does not matter. If port wins we have to beat geelong or play port in port. Having said that I don't mind playing them over there anyway.

    I would like to see freo win and essenscum [censored] themselves against the filth. It is not very often that you would be glad if the filth won but them the breaks this weekend.

    I'm conflicted, want dogs to win to secure top 2. 

    But would also love them to lose for a bit of excitement Saturday night with our game and the lions game. 

    Would also be nice the see the dogs completely choke the end of season something their supporters kept saying was going to happen  to us.

    Kind of amazing really that Ross Lyon rejected Collingwood on the basis of club instability, yet is still prepared to entertain an offer from Carlton.  Kind of has the same overtones as when he took over the reins at Freo in similar circumstances, where the rug was pulled out from under the feet of an existing coach.  I'm really not sure thay quality things that people say about Ross are justified on this basis.

    One constant though is that players who played under him love him.  Must be something in that

    Such an interesting end to the home and away season.

    The Dogs and Port will be bashing hard into each other.

    Hoping Dogs get it, so our game against Cats hasn't got as much riding on it.

    Other than Dogs getting the mojo back on (not good for us), would not like the Port to get home finals.

    Fast start Doggies!

    Dog's starting well.

    Port can't get the ball.

    If they do, they can't keep it, and don't make the best of their chances.

    I was thinking all week that Bulldogs winning would be the best outcome for us, because we would finish top 2 regardless of tomorrow's result.

    Having given it further thought, there might be a bit more too it. I see Geelong as our main competition. If tomorrow's game becomes a 'live' game, and the game is played with both sides trying to win, I think we are in a much better position than Geelong to go for broke and win due to Geelong's injuries. Given the age profile of Geelong's team, I think that will also hamper Geelong next week, regardless of whether they beat us or not, which means they may end up fatiguing near the end of the finals. I think we can cop it, they can't, so maybe it might be better for Port to win?

    Also, I can't stand the Dogs! Mind you, they are already 3 goals up!

    Does anyone else think that Robbie Gray looks like Jimmy Somerville of The Communards/Bronski Beat?

    Port are poor. My preference is a dogs win but i don't want Port to play them back into form either. I'd rather a hard fought battle

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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?
