Tonights a tough game, who do you want to see lose more. Guess draft picks beats more dog pain. Swan beating the Cats and Saints beating the Blues would be nice.

    in a very long season it's still time to think about the final 4

    A game in Perth is off the radar but SA Qld and Sydney are possibles

    On that basis Cats over Swans and the miracle of Eagles and Hawks over the two Adelaide teams

    Giants over Lions

    Freo over dogs for the obvious reasons

    The rest ????

    I don't trust Carlton but wouldn't be surprised with an upset for reasons I can't explain.

    There will be shocks and upsets this weekend. If there wasn't we'd all load up on the punt and get 8/9 winners every week.

    Wouldn't be shocked if Hawthorn knock off Adelaide. Hawks play their best footy in Launceston and Adelaide have been home for 4 games in a row so will need to adjust to foreign territory.

    Giants could also knock off Brisbane in Canberra if all goes right for them.

    North could lift for Goldy??

    Not a chance West Coast could upset Port though with their glorified WAFL side.

    Hard one for the Dogs coming off a tough game against Port.

    I can see the Swans pulling off an upset.

    I can’t conceive of any reason why I’d prefer freo to win a game this year other than if it ensures we get a better finals position.

    The only time I barracked for the eagles in my life was round 3 this year. And I really dislike the eagles.

    I’d be very surprised if the hawks beat Adelaide. Crows will win by 40+ I reckon. And they will play finals this year.

    Still don’t think Freo is playing as well as they could.  Even last week they only just got over the Suns.

    The only wildcard is it’s in Perth, but the doggies have played there a lot so they know the ground and the weather will suit them. They have a better defense v fwd over the Freo matchups.

    Fingers cross the doggies can get a good game going.

    Nice idea to have veterans standing between each player.

    I'm not really fussed about tonights result. Hope it's a good game

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
