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.

    I think Toby G is a remarkable talent but he really is a dirty player at times.

    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.

    • 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.
