According to the modelling we're the least favourite in Week 01.

 

So, this modelling says that we should win, but with less likelihood of winning than the other three predicted winners. (Idk if Iā€™m getting it right.)

    Swans are the real smokey, I would not be surprised if they made the Prelim.

    They are indeed and i feel more confident against lions...cats and dogs than them.

    Why? Mills is probably cooked for the year, Kennedy has half a leg too.

    Not sure why everyone is giving Port no chance. It is their home ground, and Geelong might be super flat after last week. They are also likely to blow up in the last quarter with all the old legs and no pre-finals bye.

    I give Port a massive chance, and frankly I prefer they win, as I think we are more chance to beat them than Geelong.

    I think we definitely want Port Adelaide to win if possible, Geelong having to go the long way with no pre finals bye and an older list definitely makes things harder for them, and they'd be a chance to lose to a team like Sydney in a semi final as well.

    Geelong out in straight sets. Mentally and physically cooked.

    Think Geelong, GWS and Dogs get it done. And us of course.

    I want us to give Port a lesson somewhere during the finals.

    They were hoping to play us instead of Geelong this week. MFC still dont get the respect we deserve.

    Port smell blood and they get to play a home final with a crowd behind them

    Genuinely torn on who I want to win this, if Cats win then facing them in the Grand Final would be big. And while weā€™ve been able to arrest a lot of the demons that have been held, I must admit Iā€™d still prefer to avoid them where possible.

    I want Port to win! I believe if weā€™re lucky to make it to a GF I think we can beat them.

    Geelong can only win if Hawkins and Cameron both pull hamstringsā€¦

    Ports 2021 losses.
    Rd 3 Eagles by 37 WA
    Rd 7 Lions by 49 QLD
    Rd 9 Dogs by 19 AO
    Rd 13 Cats by 21 AO
    Rd 17 Dees by 31 AO

    Ports last 3 weeks : 

    Beat crows by 4 points 

    Beat Carlton by 95, Carlton had no Cripps, Williams, McKay

    Beat an underperforming Dogs by 2 points.

    Had we lost last week they would of won the minor premiership without beating 2nd, 3rd or 4th through out the home and away season. Doubt that has ever happened before. Would like them to win tonight against a Geelong side with no Tuohy and Stewart, but itā€™s a big ask for a supposedly inform team which has done little to date.

    Beating a side 3 times in a year is a tough call so Geelong would be a massive challenge in a prelim or a GF. Aside from WC over Collingwood in 2018 I can't think of too many sides that have done it.

    For some reason I have it in my head that Port are shoe-ins tonight.

    Could get your wish; shall be watching Dangerfield's calf muscles, in a non-homeoerotic* fashion, with great interest.

    *not that there's anything wrong with that...

    I donā€™t care who wins as long as they belt the living daylights out of each other.

    Man I sick of seeing Geelong in finals - 15 bloody years.  I hope Danger never wins a flag and I hope Selwood doesn't win one as captain and I hope Scott doesnt win his first real flag (the canteen lady could have coached them in 2011).

    Glad I'm not being too emotional or childish about this. 

    In summary, I don't like the Cats

    The only downside I see to Port winning is that we then MUST win tomorrow to avoid going down the path that would lead to a Prelim in Adelaide. 

    Whereas If Geelong wins, and Covid situation stays as it, we'll play all our remaining games in Perth, regardless of our result v Brisbane.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. Itā€™s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this yearā€™s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • 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 sideā€”the Tigersā€”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 ā€œtheyā€ 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.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ 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 Bryanā€™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.
