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

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

    • 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.

    • 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.
