Simply Max King lost it for the saints. 0.5. Lost confidence? His technique was flawed.  Leaning back. Too casual.     Heartbreaking for their supporters.  I was even getting angry at how sim

Still not sure who I want to win out of Syd & C'wood to increase the chances  we finish in the top 4  IF we lose to Brisbane (yes, sorry, I'm looking at the pessimistic case). I think in that case we want C'wood to thrash Sydney and Sydney to not get their percentage up in the last round? Views?

I hope someone new comes into the footy market in the next broadcast contract.

Kayo is the worst app I’ve ever used. A big international player will surely wipe the floor with the garbage tech we have to put up with.

From what I’ve read everyone is pushing for their own commentary on all games. That at least gives us an option to avoid BT.

No, we never wish well to Collingwood. Sydney to win by the smallest of margins. They (Pies) then lose again against Carlton and drop of top 4. That would mean that we either win against Brisbane, Sydney loses against St Kilda (wishful thinking) or Freo to draw/lose.

Best scenario ....Coll beat swans but lose to Carlton r23.

We beat lions we finish 2ND. Pies % is putrid.

Cant rely on Stkilda helping us and swans % will likely finish higher than ours.

You all must really hate Collingwood...lol

I think most of us believe we are a good chance for the premiership as long as we are top 4, so not necessary to finish second.

Would come down to which team  "Melbourne or Sydney"won by the most next week. Myself I would rather play Collingwood or Geelong in the first week.

You do realise it’s harder for us to maintain second if Magpies beat the Swans ? lol 🤦‍♂️

Exactly, best case scenario for us is equalization of points. Then percentage will be like a flip of a coin.

If Pies win, we are likely 3rd, but FW final at the G against Coll if we beat Brisbane 

But Sydney look a lot better

So the reigning premier must fear some teams (e.g. Geelong or Sydney)? Not the best attitude to have going to September if you ask me.

Have a missed the retirement of the red Sherrin - why are Sydney and the Pies playing with a yellow ball?

After 2.30 start time = yellow

Why is there a problem with having a preference?

When I go to the Pub I'll eat anything...  But it's perfect OK that I prefer an Eye Fillet over a Parma

Fear no team but we still need to finish top four.

Do wonder how much last week has taken out of Collingwood

And expect last night to do the same to Carlton.

Would love to play Geelong first up but not sure we can finish fourth.

I literally think we are a better chance to beat Swans away than to win a final at the MCG, where we’ve been horrible for all of the second half of the year. Conversely we haven’t lost an interstate game yet.

Normally I'll barrack for the result the suits us best but in this instance i don;t care. I just want to see the pies lose because i'm sick to the back teeth watching them win tight matches

And yes, I hate them as well

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
