Hello folks,

I was not sure if we already had a thread on predicting the top 8?  If so, please disregard. If not,  I think this season is very interesting and there will be many changes from 2021.  As evidenced by the game tonight, things are changing. The 'experts' have been very dull in their predictions as usual.  only 1 out of 20 predicted us to even be in the finals last year!  it takes some knowledge, guts and foresight to predict (and a lot of luck).   I am not saying I have any of this but thought it might be fun.

Anyone keen to share their top 8 predictions?

Here is mine:

  1. Brisbane
  2. Melbourne
  3. Port
  4. Sydney
  5. GWS
  6. St. Kilda
  7. Bulldogs
  8. Essendon

A meat tray to the winner - *sponsors yet to the be confirmed

 

 

Dees, Port, lions, dogs, Swans, cats, dons, Blues.

Snags!

Fair enough having a laugh. But look at their list. They’ve had so many injuries and now are looking stable. Blokes like King, Marshall, Crouch, Steele, Zac Jones, Hill, Gresham

they are my tip to rise. 

1 Melbourne

2 Brisbane

3 Carlton

4 Essendon

5 GWS

6 Bulldogs

7 Port

8 Sydney

9 Fremantle

10 Geelong

11 Richmond

12 St Kilda

13 Adelaide

14 Collingwood

15 Hawthorn

16 North

17 West Coast

18 Gold Coast

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
