    What I’m most looking forward to this weekend in order of preference (aside from our game of course)

    1.     JVR debut

    2.     The Western Derby #deathride (would be no.1 any other weekend)

    3.     Geelong going 0-3 (more of a wish this one. Come on Suns)

    Don't know the rest and we all know why...    🎼

    I see that St Kilda are celebrating their 150th anniversary this weekend.

    Among all the celebrations, the parade of their Premiership Cup should be quite the spectacle.

    Well .... they certainly won't need a Moomba style float!

    They'll  be able to push it along in a ribbon bedecked wheelbarrow. ( maybe sponsored by Bunnings)

    I reckon there would enough timber in those 27 (count 'em, 27) wooden spoons to build a suitable vessel.

    I'm betting tonight will be a free kick bulldogs night.

    You were right.

    Four goals from free kicks out of 10 goals, for the dogs.

    They started the game with a free kick advantage, then they became even, and by the end 21 to 15. So the first 4, then the last 6 (calculated guessing).

    How do they get that advantage and some with "ify" and soft calls?

    Good prediction.

    Of all the Victorian teams bulldogs have received a blessed run the past decade. Interstate team like numbers.

    Tonight's game could be a beauty. 

    Great test for the tigers, their young brigade should be fast enough to keep up with the manic style of Collingwood. 

    Whether they are skilled enough? 

    Collywobbles seem to be the benchmark early this season.

    I will be surprised if it is a beauty. There is every chance that the filth will [censored] the tiges on current form.

    Tigers lost 4 good quality players. their depth is seriously being tested.  their bottom 10 players are poor

    Pies will smash them.  will be over by half time

    Except for our game this year where surprisingly we got the rub of the green.

    Im still a bit iffy on the Pies as well. They look great, but i have a hunch that once their vulnerability is exposed, it'll be a house of cards moment. 

    Not many teams will have the ammunition to do it, but i think the Tigers who apply a lot of ball carrier pressure will at least be able to slow them down on transition. Contest and clearance has been a weakness for the Pies in prior years and Mitchell has been a welcomed addition.

    Pies will win, but not as much as others think and i reckon we'll see the first signs of vulnerability tonight - just a hunch.

    I really really really hope you're right. For such an expansive game style they're playing like they get the answers to the exam beforehand.

    Cox out injured. It could get interesting if Cameron gets an injury too.

    Bit of rain around tonight, wonder if that might affect things much

    if it sticks around, it will for sure. No way the Pies can move with speed tonight. Will be a territory battle with surge like ball movement... That is the tigers 1-wood.

    It is why I thought the umpires had stopped giving the Dogs the "iffy" free's.

    Last night showed me, no change.

    How would Collingwood go in the wet?

    Head over the ball and determination may outdo, skills and speed.

    With the wet, I reckon it makes it a closer contest and probably, a low scoring game.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
