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

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.

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?

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
