[Demonland 71,629]

Who are you tipping this week? Also what are the best results for the Demons?

[whatwhat say what 22,702]

• footscray?
• crom
• gc17
• us?
• filth?
• dockers?

should be a fairly interesting mini-round

[Sir Why You Little 36,989]

Have tipped Jeelong tonight, but it’s line ball

i could change it a few times during the day!

[BDA 22,735]

Some ripper games this weekend

The dogs to get the better of the the Cats

We'll beat the Swans in a tight tussle

Freo have their tails up after accounting for us last week and will beat the Lions. Suits us better if they do as well

[Lucifers Hero 39,612]

Geelong are going under the radar a little bit.

They have made a few changes to youth and player roles: 

• de Koning is doing a great job at FB which has freed up Tom Stewart who is doing a sterling job as a mid-fielder, rebounder or behind the ball.  Still able to play The General.
• Stengle is a really damaging small forward.  Great kick i50 and kicks plenty of goals.
• Holmes is injured but coming on in his second year.
• They are getting better at switching between their 'control' and their 'territory' game plans.

Scott is doing a lot of experimenting with player positions and ball movement to ready for September.

They will undoubtedly make the top 8 and most probably the top 4 so no harm done if they win this or not.  I'd rather not see the Bulldogs in the top 8.

Feel ill to tip Geelong to win...

It looks like Freo will have a weakened team vs Lions this week with injuries to some key players.

• Taberner who kicked two goals before being subbed out for half the game
• Walters who was damaging buzzing around the fwd line
• Chapman a key tall defender who took 14 marks and gained 436 mtrs.

That game may not give us any clearer picture of the top teams than last week did.

Tonights game will tell us a lot about where the Dogs are in 2022, if they beat the Cats i think it's fair to consider them a finals threat, if they don't maybe not

If Dogs lose tonight, they'll be 6-6 and probably have to go 9-1 in the last 10 games  to finish top 4, and thus have any genuine hope of winning the flag this year. No team has ever snuck into the top 4 with 14 wins.

Even if they win, they'll still have to go 8-2 to make top 4 with Melbourne, Brisbane (away), St Kilda, Fremantle, Sydney (away) and Geelong (away).

I'm ruling out the Dogs to win the 2022 premiership.

[DubDee 25,692]

Honestly no idea who wins tonight. Danger still out but the dogs are so inconsistent.

Under the roof, I think Cameron and Hawkins will be the difference and the Cats will win

Dogs just don't look mentally switched on this year

Cats by 1pt

A salient point made, sir.

Sitting at home with covid,I thought I'd watch some vfl.  One of the blokes has an English accent commentating the Geelong game!

Already better than she who should not be named

Better for the Dees if the Dogs win.

 

 

[adonski 11,885]

Jeelong may have one of the worst midfields in the comp but I'll still lean towards tipping them tonight

Think one of the two sides will win by 10 goals just not sure which one

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,222]

[Jibroni 4,987]

Think Geelong have won 14 of the last 17 against the Dogs, thats a fair record.

I hope the Dogs win on the pure basis even though we smashed them last year in the finals Geelong are still a bunch of flogs.

[Sir Why You Little 36,989]

Jeelong are right on so far 

[deejammin' 2,370]

The dogs, a team who are famous for being quick and moving the ball quickly, are looking slow and unclean while the cats, a team many were concerned about being too slow, look quick and slick. 

[Demonland 71,629]

Doggies are not going to be playing finals this year based on the first 8 minutes of this match. 

[DubDee 25,692]

The Dogs have to be the most mentally weak team around. So much talent but zero application

[BDA 22,735]

Well done Naughton!

It was disgraceful.

[Maldonboy38 6,390]

Doggies looking a rabble so far. Little system, poor skills, low energy. It is early in the match so anything can happen, but what happened to their highly celebrated midfield?
