only a few uncertainties this round you'd think, but there's always a chance for upsets

gc17's home record worries me, but their 'outs' are significant - weller is a far, far better player than he gets credit for being

    I'm hopelessly undecided about tonight's game between Carlton and Brisbane Lions.  Thinking of backing in the Lions but then Zorko (🤮) is out so maybe they'll fold even though it's not at their bogey ground of the G

    Dont know Lions record at Marvel but likely not all that much better than the G. Unfortunately Carlton should win with  the bogan Zorky  and Rich not playing. Zorko ,typically, will probably return when we play them next.

    Crows a big chance if they can kick straight. Big if though. Their goal kicking has been dreadful this year so far.

    They beat the Blues there in 2021. Their record at Marvel is very similar to ours about 30 wins from 70 games but like us a lot of those loses came at a time they could not beat anyone anywhere.

    Interesting weekend from a ladder movement perspective. Several teams playing another close to them on the ladder.

    Carlton beating Brisbane is probably in our interest if you subscribe to the theory that Brisbane will win most of their home games.

    Swans beating Pies makes it just that little easier for us to secure a top two spot by season's end.

    GWS win over Dogs keeps the Dogs around the bottom of the top 8.

    Essendon v Port... probably a Bombers win is best for us

    Freo to lose of course

    Geelong v Adelaide... a draw would be nice

    Saints to win and continue with a ?

    Main interest tonight is for Cripps and Neale to both miss Brownlow votes. Ideally they can tag eachother out of the game?

    GWS simply must tag Bontempelli and would be helpful if Geelong put a stopper on Jordan Dawson, too. These clear standout individual players who will get the major share of their teams' votes are the rivals that worry me most.

    I think I've honestly taken on Fremantle's draft picks and the historic Oliver-Petracca tie for the Brownlow as the main points of interest for all non-Demon games.

     

    Fun Fact: While thinking about this I poked around at a few websites which are running Brownlow Medal predictors (EPSN, AFLratings) and the only one which displayed the betting odds was, of course, AFL.com.au

    Will be happy to see Carlton and Essendon get beaten. The sooner they and their manky fan bases know they are out of finals contention the better for everyone else.

    Well spoken, Rab D. Both losing is always a wonderful addition to any weekend.

    Zorko and Rich out what a load of baloney. They were going out of their way to make sure that the cameras saw the ice. They were being rested or my hair is growing at twice the rate it was forty years ago..

    huge game tonight. i have no idea who will win. 

    lions don’t travel great plus Curnow has me punting for the blues.

    Aaron Hall had the most possessions for North and second most fantasy points of anyone in the game last week (behind only Tracc)… and got dropped.

    Clarko clearly ‘going to the draft’.

    That’s terrible, especially if it’s true she was covered in sheets.

    Nothing is being mentioned on the Fox pregame.

    It’s been confirmed. A 48yo woman fell 10 metres from Level two to Level one.

    That's terrible, personally I would not want to watch a football game if I saw that.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
