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.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
