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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
