Taylor Adams tests positive.

With De Goey suspended the Eagles might beat the Pies this weekend.

An interesting insight:  McRae also revealed that only five of his players have yet to contract the virus.

    Sadly ... no hope.

    Tips from AFL folk:

    Port Adelaide 2-10 Melbourne
    Geelong 6-6 Brisbane
    Sydney 12-0 North Melbourne
    Collingwood 12-0 West Coast
    Richmond 0-12 Western Bulldogs
    Fremantle 9-3 Greater Western Sydney
    Essendon 12-0 Adelaide
    Hawthorn 4-8 St Kilda
    Gold Coast 0-12 Carlton

    Surprised at the lack of confidence in Richmond, Adelaide and to some extent GWS, and Hawks.

    The result I wish for the most is for Lions to beat the little cats on their own turf.

    Tipsters always play it safe. Generally base their tips on how a team performed the previous round.

    GCS nearly knocked us off.

    Carlton aren't a certainty by any means.

    Like LH I think Hawks v Saints is close to 50/50.

    From an MFC viewpoint a Brisbane win over Geelong is the conservative approach but hell I like being atop the ladder so Geelong to win !!

    Somehow we need the crows to beat essendon, because that would give me a laugh. The fans would go nuts. Walker back helps. 

    Interesting Geelong are resting Selwood tomorrow night against Brisbane. I would have thought you are coming up against a pretty good midfield and would need your best. 

    I know I put it in another thread but why do we have to travel again when some of these teams don't have there first interstate game until round 9 or longer?

    Selwood is now a way from being their best.  They got him to the record # of games as an AFL captain last week so now he gets a rest.  He is their spiritual leader but not sure they will miss him.  Its been a while since he has put in a really good game, let alone a match winning one.

    Scott learnt his lesson last year that his old team will run out of legs.  He is in preservation mode for finals.

    Agreed.  I am tipping Giants, Freo are up and down.  Tigers absolutely have a good chance

    and with Carlton limping over the line against the Hawks, GC have a good chance at home

    3 interstate games out of the first 5.

    What did we do wrong

    If you add up the AFL and The Age Tipsters only 1 of 22 are backing Gold Coast.

    Surprised me a little given how they played at home against us.

    Who ya got this week?

    FPtlD7IVgAIoM-x?format=jpg&name=4096x409

    Geelong but is Brisbane are serious they should win 

    If Sydney don’t win by over 10 goals I’m calling it a loss 

    West Coast are rooted. Pies by plenty. 

    Dogs but it’s a 50/50 at the G

    Who knows. Two teams you never put money on  

    Bombers finally 

    Saints? Could go either way but MCG helps Hawks  

    I hope GC! Time for Carlton to lose

    Have I missed something? Next week's game is at the G right? We've only travelled twice to date.

    Bumping for tonight. Isn’t it nice being able to enjoy the whole weekend of footy basking in a Thursday night victory. 

    Also do we want to the Cats to win t to claim top spot or Lions to win just so Geelong lose?

    Geelong to lose hopefully!

    better than the end of the year...

    I don't know if you've looked at our fixture for the end of the year, but our last 8 games include trips to Adelaide, Geelong, Alice Springs, Optus Stadium in Perth and the Gabba. 

    It will be a fair test.

    Was that another one of the games we didn't get out of first gear ? 🙂

    People have laughed at us for years, came across this and found it amusing. Would love the Crows to beat Essendon  just to see the next instalment.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • 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. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’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.
