Most if not all of our competitors have games they should win.

Not a time to slip up in the West

Cats v Dogs and Tigers v Lions are perhaps the close ones.

Wouldn't it be nice for Port to roll the Pies

I reckon the Port will roll the pies. They are asking for a team to give them a good ol spanking. The question is how will they respond the following week...which is us. 

Going by the Doggies performance, id expect them to challenge the Cats ball movement, but you just cannot see how they hold up defensively. If the game goes to a shoot out, then it maybe close. But given its Duckwood's 350th you can just see the AFL giving him a few cheapies. 

Don't care about the other games tbh

After last week's disastrous results, we're due one or two non MFC games go our way.

We're ostensibly in the finals if Richmond lose this week, even if we lose tonight.

St Kilda will lose at least once to Geelong, Brisbane or Sydney so there's no way they'll be displacing us from the finals.

Unless you place a massive priority on finishing 1st and winning the minor premiership (and potentially being awarded the Friday Night prelim) rather than finishing second and still having 2 MCG home finals on route to a potential GF, I’m actually hoping Geelong beat the Dogs tonight.

The nauseating over celebration of the Dogs beating us last week is enough to hope Geelong can go some way in ending their season tomorrow.

It’s the Sydney’s, Collingwood's and Brisbane’s that are our main threat for top 2, and they’re the teams we need to lose more so than Geelong who will finish top 2 regardless with their soft finish and strong percentage.

Doggies will be desperate in trying to make finals, so would love them to try and run the Cats off their feet and hit the bodies hard, it will all add up come the end of the year, plus the Cats won’t keep winning forever. 

Would also like to see another Oscar-worthy sook from Bevo.

I'm hoping the Pies get over Port this weekend.
Will make next weeks game huge and we can put the Pies to the sword in front of everyone.

Yep,  vomitous to admit it but Pies winning suits us perfectly. Theyre pretenders who have been gifted a soft H & A fixture. They will be brimming with misplaced confidence. They'll be pre-occupied with us after last nights win. Port might win it. Looking forward to mangling them next week.

Love the commentary combo for this Port vs. Pies match: Howie, Nick Riewoldt, Bucks and Cam Mooney. Very listenable.

Barracking for the Pies? Fox is the Vicco Pride network.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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
