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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
