I got them at $5! And I thought THAT was good. 

I think I misread the 'To Win' column.  I realise now that is to win the Premiership not to win today...

Clearly I know nothing about betting!!  But it should have been intuitively obvious.

Hope you lose your bet!!

    Your poor old Uncle Bitter is  taking a well earned break from Manorial responsibilities and enjoying a balmy 28 degrees in downtown Bangkok.

    However, I shall be watching the mighty Dees thrash the Crows this afternoon.

    No ruck?  No worries! Our mids will create plenty of opportunities and ,if our defence is as miserly as last game, the Crows will be lucky to get 50 points. I'm tipping May to play a cracker. I'm very confident.

    I am meeting that Demonland luminary ( and Bangkok tour guide) SWYL at a sports Bar of his recommendation to enjoy the game. SWYL assures me that the establishment has a very welcoming atmosphere and is located in the Toorak of Bangkok. Nana , I believe, is the name of the suburb.

    Yes i have assured Uncle that if the game becomes a dour struggle or “it doesn’t go our way” that alternative entertainment is readily available only a few steps away from the nominated Bar

    Ive lived in Bangkok for many years. Nana(plaza) is a grimey concrete rabbit warren laced with gogo bars and beer bars off Sukhumvit rd soi 4.

    Toorak- it is definitely not..LOL.

    Advice...if you go to Nana ,Soi Cowboy or Pattaya be careful what you wish for. Not much good comes out of the Land of Smiles.

    You obviously went into the wrong clubs (easy to do) deebunked. It’s all Class at Plaza de Nana.

    The locals call it Mouskuriland I believe Uncle, and apparently also after dark the Red Lights flash in unison.

    Yep, hard to miss. Front row today. Probs on flogger duty but Ima try to snaffle the Giant Fritta head to wave like a maniac. Might have to wrestle Pauline for it. Spoiler: she wins. He is her son, after all. 
    And Speaking of the Fritsch fam, a few of them are joining the banner crew out in the middle today for Fritta’s 100th. 😃

    They’re raring to go…

    Yes can recommend the 'fresh air' and exercise  at the nearby Queen Sirikit Park. You can hire bicycles and do the circuit.

    Crows haven’t beaten anyone since round 6

    *not counting the bottom 2

    should be an easy win. Clarry and Jack will shark the taps from O’Brien. Lose the hit outs, win the clearances 👍🏻

    If we assume the above, we both look foolish,

    Go hard or go home,  black runs only 

    or take no prisoners

    Hypothetical

    You're in hospital likely to be discharged today after spending the day in ED yesterday with a cardiac 'issue'.

    Assuming discharge goes ahead, would you:

    - watch the Dees game live on the TV

    - only watch after knowing the result?

    Your heart beats true Ken, you should be fine.

    Get well soon and enjoy the game

    Been a bit of money on the crows today, still expect us to win easy and move on to next week. 

    Losing this match last year, should ensure that the Demons are up and about.

    A win would put us two games and 20% above fifth with only 7 games to go!

    Go Demons!

    Having not watched any crows games, does anyone have an informed take on their 3 outs? Outside running players? Will they lose a bit of run?

    You assume correctly 

    MFCSS is running riot. I am very wary of the crows over there. Lets hope that May stops Walker from producing his walking stick.

    Had a dream last night where Fritta was announced as the Coleman medalist. If that’s the case, then today is likely to be the first of some big bags of goals for him over the remaining games.

    Hammil average defender. No big loss

    McHenry small fwd decent player

    McAdam medium fwd decent/good player

    No. It is an inbuilt mechanism.

    And if it does go our way the post match entertainment is only a few steps away too 😉

    Go Demons!

    We also beat them by about 40pts late last year (although was a bit of an arm wrestle early) with Fritts bagging 7 (3 in the last 2 minutes if I remember correctly). Let's hope for a repeat of that one today.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week?
