I know using the AFL Ladder predictor is often a waste of time, but check out what the Ladder most likely will look like at 3:15 on Sunday before we play.

    Well this is a tough one.

    For the optimists you want Carlton and the Swans to win.

    For the others it's the reverse.

    It's going to be a nerve wracking weekend

    PS wins by Adelaide and the Giants would be nice but unlikely

    Likely to be atleast one boil over...

    North over Essendon or Crows over lucky Pies.

    Collingwoods luck has to run out soon.

    I went the predictable route this round for tipping: 

    Bulldogs

    Pies

    Brisbane

    Richmond

    Geelong

    Freo

    Hawks

    Melbourne

    Gold Coast.

    Of course I want Adelaide and Sydney to win, but I also want to win the tipping at work - I'm only one tip off the leader and coming equal second at the moment!!  Last year I won it, so the pressure is on!

    Honestly who the hell is doing the draw at the AFL? The 2 most interesting games for the weekend (1st vs 5th, and 3rd vs 7th) have been brilliantly scheduled to play AT THE SAME TIME on Saturday night.

    Meanwhile it’s the 10th placed, very mediocre, Bulldogs getting another Friday night game. It’s weird.

    $3 for the Saints under 40 is good odds. Dogs are shot and have no naughton

    Pies almost lost to North, their form is tailing. If the Crows put in they’ll get up. Also great odds

    Makes you wonder if the AFL really are concentrating of TV rights (though I'm sure they are).  While they can't have known weeks ago that these games would be so significant, they sure as hell could have re-scheduled the game in Perth to start a few hours earlier, say 2pm local time.

    Saints should win. As someone has said, Crows have a real chance of knocking off the Pies.

    I see Nic Nat didn’t get up again. How this bloke escapes extreme criticism from the wider AFL community is beyond me. He hasn’t fronted up in shape for 5 years.

    I’d rather Geelong win. Best to keep Carlton out of the top 4 because I think they are a bigger September threat. we know the cats will chit the bed come finals.

    Changed my mind about game 8. Port to win. Look at Melbournes final selections. Coopers pale ale will get a hammering tonite.

    Ah, try for his entire career. Always looks short of a good gallop

    Ah so the Dogs have Bruce as an in after some VFL following last year's ACL. A warm up before his obligatory bag against us next week?

    Cody Weightman frustrated by all the talk about Ginnivan being the most annoying player in the league. Still wants the title.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
