    Tigers ( why is beyond me )

    Geelong

    Giants ( last chance )

    mfcss

    Saints ( port a real chance )

    Carlton

    Gold coast

    dogs

    swans

    I'm going for some mini upsets with little to no confidence.

     

    Tigers, dockers, crows, dees, power, blues, suns, bombers, swans.

     

    On a side note, Jack Carroll will make his debut for the blues this week after some great form in the VFL. Some demonlanders will be familiar with him as a popular player linked with one of our first round picks in 2020. We ultimately used those picks on Bowey and Laurie. Despite media links, we also overlooked him at pick 34 for Rosman with the blues eventually selecting him at 41. Think the kid has talent and look forward to see how he goes at the top level.

    Wow Gil.  No wonder you have swanned off to the US this week.  What an absolute bewdy you have left us.  WCE V Toiges, at 8:10 pm whats more. 
    I suspect that, diehard Tiger fans aside, it will hit record low ratings.  
    Well done and enjoy your junket.

    Even though the dockers are shaping as a rival to us this year i still want them to beat the cats.

    Taberner is a big out for them so they may struggle to score but i reckon their defensive game will strangle the cats and they'll do enough to win

    Can't wait to sit back tonight and watch the match of the round between Sydney and Brisbane.....oh wait wrong game. It's the battle between a team that's falling down the premiership cliff at great speed versus a side that's been flogged by a combined 147 points over the last fortnight. Revolving fixture working beautifully.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Port knock off St Kilda this week, and GC to beat Collingwood for my two smokies.

    How the hell was this stinking pile of crap game get a Friday night time slot, 2 of probably the oldest lists who were in all likelihood going to go backwards after last year.

     

    Would be annoyed if I was Tigers (petty AFL payback?) going to Perth after playing on Sunday night.

     

    Crap scheduling Auld!

    Essendon dropped Shiel. Not mucking around

    Yes, Shiel should shoulder the blame for Parish having 18 more touches than him and going 40m further with having 18 fewer touches…

    Scapegoat, sacrificial lamb, whatever animal - it’s a bit rich. And also pause for thought for those that change clubs - you are always on the outer of the inner, anything goes wrong - you can find yourself at the meat market.

    Shiel should have been dropped the week before if they were serious, the footage of him highlighted I think by King was disgraceful, to say the least. That he played last week says Rutton is not much chop IMO

    Parish should have gone too.

    Its laughable that there was this equivalence being made to Oliver as there were pick 4 and 5. There’s a reason Mahoney got to that pick.

    Didnt want to get stuck with Darcy…

    West Coast are a rabble who will want to finish bottom of the ladder to finally get a number one draft pick (have they ever had one?). 

    And the tigers have been better than their win loss tally suggests, were really good against us in terms of intensity and pressure, and are still playing for a finals spot. 

    Grimes in is huge as their defence has been super wobbly and they lack height down back.  

    Lambert is also a great in and smart to bring Soldo in to exploit the fact that Nic Nat is out. The tigers will smash them in clearances and post clearance contested possessions. 

    And after trying to suffocate us last week (which meant they couldn't transition the ball from their back half because all their numbers were flooded up around the ball, and therefore struggled to score), they will relish the space and time the Eagles will give them and look to get it forward and attack. 

    All of which means that i think the tigers will win, and win well (i'm predicting a 5 goals plus margin)

    So to Richmond to make their line of 14.5 is rolled solid gold bet.

    Shiel has been average at times, but he is not the reason the Bombers are losing. They only have 2 metre Peter - and he is working hard - but they have a poor half forward line, and look like the Dees circa 2015 kicking inside 50. Their defence is brittle, and the entire squad reacts too slowly on transition. 

    WCE v Tiges tonight might be a better game than many think - they are both struggling so it might at least be a good contest. Nah, can't keep up the facade - tonight will be rubbish but I will watch it because it is Friday night and the only other option is some of my family are watching Magic Mike. Makes WCE v Tiges look very appealing.

    WC have a good defence and forward line again. But midfield is in bits

    not sure how tonight will play out. Might come down to who wants it more

    I sincerely hope WC want it more Dub - I've placed a "responsible" investment on them.

    Eagles must be going well if Gaff is the sub.

    Ignite the ‘Go and Get Gaff’ thread.

    I also wondered about that DZ. Do you know what the story with him is?

    Sydney v Brisbane should be an interesting matchup and the hardest to tip.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
