    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 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
