Should be a good game tonight. I reckon the return of Toby will ignite the Giants and bring St Kilda back down to earth. The sainters have been getting a bit ahead of themselves

    Have picked The Aints tonight, but who knows which way it could go. 
    If Tobius is involved early GW$ could decide to play

    A few 'season defining' games coming up this round. 

    Geelong and Brisbane with the easy wins coming up is annoying.

    Fremantle v Carlton seems the most interesting match of the round, Freo should be too good over there.

    Tipping that umpire disrespect will kick the most goals this week.

    @Sir Why You Little, do you recall an Ess/filth  Anzac Day clash some years ago  when 2 players went down, I think in the first quarter, with serious knee injuries?

    Yes i do. One was an Essendrug Ruckman…

    Like the Giants tonight. They were pretty competitive for fair chunks of last week.

    Saints are being written up as a possible flag winner. GWS massively underperforming.

    Pity that Hogan is out. Adds a little more interest to the game. Of course there is Preuss who I don't think I've seen since he played for Casey.

    If GWS kick straight (ratio of around 80%) they might surprise.

    Hopefully we're not switiching to netflix by half time

    Think Saints should get up, they are up and about GWS aren’t.

    Dogs, Port, Freo, Lions, us (despite mfcss), Swans & Filth in the battle of the WGAF.

    Cats of course

    The young ruckman, Flynn, that played for GWS last week was very good. Played better than Preuss ever has. If it was my choice i'd play Flynn again

    I remember watching Flynn in his first game. ( Has he been out injured? )

    He will be a gun player.

    The Giants all walk taller with Toby in the team (no pun intended)  He doesn't drop his head or give up and that sends a message to his team mates.  Plays for keeps.  

    He's a bit of a product from a bygone era but there is no denying he captures an audience  But can he not cross the line? Does he need that edge to his game in order to be at his best?  In my view, probably

    The game should be a good start to the long weekend of footy ... the 4 FTA games should all get a big TV audience

    Our game is quickly becoming a standout blockbuster (as long as the crowds are maintained), the ANZAC day game always has a great atmosphere and the Freo/Blues game on Saturday evening might answer a few questions

    I’m giving GWS a massive chance. Greene completely changes their side. 
    I still don’t rate St Kilda.

    He will probably give away a few 50 m ps with aggro at umps.

    This round always makes me sad about lost loves and proud to be an Australian.

    I'm sure we all share sympathy for Ukraine. How much they would like to stop the death and destruction and enjoy a simple game of sports.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
