This prompted me to see how the current top 8 sides have fared this year against each other:

Of the 40 games so far only 10 have been between current top 8 sides. 

Games played vs each other, In order of the current ladder:

  • Demons:  0
  • Lions: 1 (Beat Magpies)
  • Dockers:  1 (Loss to Saints)
  • Saints:   2  (Beat Dockers; Loss to Magpies)
  • Swans: 1 (Beat Cats)
  • Blues:  0
  • Cats:  3 (Beat Lions and Magpies; Lost to Swans)
  • Magpies:  3 (Beat Saints; Loss to Lions and Cats)

It looks like there will be a bit of a shakeout coming when these teams start playing each other (and some play each other twice).  

Saints, Blues, Dockers and Magpies would have expected 'easier' fixtures this year but given the 2021 ladder is a bit upside down that may not be the case.

The top 4 are still likely to be Demons, Lions, Swans and Cats.  Roll a dice for the rest and who might replace them.

    Definitely going for the Hawks today ... not sure they are an ultimate threat (Hawks) but it would be great to see the Cats incur a setback

    Talk already beginning that north should get a priority pick at the pointy end of the draft

     They aren’t even as bad as we were during the Neeld and early Roos years

    It is not to often you would want to see a Hawrhorn victory but today is one of them. I hope they tear girlong apart or beat them by a point after the siren.

    rent Cotchin has escaped suspension for his altercation with Taylor Walker. This means he is still eligible to win somebody else’s Brownlow Medal this year #AFLCrowsTigers

    Hard to think that in years gone by Easter Monday was probably one of the biggest home and away games of the year

    You don't start your captain on the bench. I don't care what the reason is, you just don't do it.

    Serious question . . . is there any player at Essendscum that would get a game at Melbourne? And if so, who is the Essendscum player/s and who would they replace at Melbourne?

    We are still recovering from Lockdown 

    Give it another 2 years and attendances will be back to normal

    If Geelong win there will be a two game gap already (3 for us) between the top 7 and the rest of the competition.

    Don't think I've seen a ladder separation like that this early on in the season.

    I really like this new, improved Geelong.

    Hawks hardness opening up the cats defence like a tin of dog food. I don't reckon they can keep it up for 4 quarters, but any team that can will beat the Cats. Ruck going down changes the game - he was doing brilliant ruck work.

    Jeez the cats look slow. They'll smack some underdeveloped teams but they're no threat whatsoever.

    Hawthorn looking like a poorly assembled cheap knock off version of us.

    If you want to destroy the amazing culture we’ve built you can go get that fat [censored] Stringer. He is a cultural cancer. 
     

    Now, let’s go Hawks. I am sick to death of Geelong.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
