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)

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


Reckon I’d prefer tiges win this one. Pies building up too much momentum

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

We need a spiteful emoji. 


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.

What pub will they be at ?  Moorabbin Social was alive 30 years ago ?   Barkly Hotel top floor till 3am

  • 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.
