That WC v GWS game is a nightmare to tip.

Ordinarily you’d be tipping GWS but they’re missing Whitfield, Kelly and Perryman from last weeks side and are on a long road trip to Perth after a 35 degree brutal game.

    Had West Coast last week, will go with them again but they are losing a friend in me fast if they lose this.

    Carlton should beat the old Cats. Im a little worried about their midfield without Walsh and Hewitt but they should dominate up front without Stewart there

    Both adelaide teams are a serious shout against the Pies/Tiges

    WC will get on the board against GWS

    and I'm hoping Gold Coast crush the bombers. If Weid is injured along with Fat Jake and Wright, who do they even have?

    Some cracking games this weekend.

    Other than Hawks vs Sydney, the rest could all go either way. Although you'd think Freo will destroy North

    I’ve gone eagles for those reasons. 2 of their best runners out.

    What about Essendon v GC?

    Recency bias would suggest Essendon but they beat a tanking Hawthorn last week and remain pretty shoddy on paper. GC were insipid last week but surely know they have to right the ship pretty quickly to avoid being stuck in their permanent world of irrelevance.

    Surely Carlton won't choke again.

    A 0 - 2 start for the Cats would be welcome.

    Suns normally start the season well, Sydney would have been a tough task for anyone. I rate their midfield higher than Essendon’s. Chol and Casboult aren’t start but paired well together last season. Suns won 10 games last year, Bombers 7 with Peter Wright. I think Suns are great value.

    Losing to Geelong isn’t a choke, it’s how they lose.

    If Curnow or McKay didn’t mark it, the ball came flying back out, and when McKay did mark it he struggled in front of goals. Why do key fwds continue to try and kick around their body.

    Yes BA, I'll be interested to see how they handle the last few mins if they're up by a goal or two.

    I hope you're right.  Essendon have already had too much success this season for my liking

    Tipping GC to bounce back and beat the scum. I am hoping there not as bad as what they showed last week.

    I want to tip them, I really do. Just can't quite see it, their record stinks there recently.

    Carlton and Cats is one of those games where I can't decide who i want to lose more. Another draw perhaps!

    Pies v Port should be a ripper. Looking forward to that one.

    I reckon Adelaide will beat the Tiges. They choked badly against GWS so will be out to atone on their home deck.

    And I'll be cheering on Norf when they take on Freo. #deathride

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
