    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

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

    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?

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
