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 

[DeelightfulPlay 2,264]

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

[Deebauched 1,219]

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.

Don't rate Carlton at all but they just might get over the Lions tonight. Only other game that might go off script is the Giants/Dogs game. 

[BDA 20,601]

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.

No excuses for Caaaaaarlton tonight. 

[Diamond_Jim 11,995]

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 ?

[Little Goffy 12,768]

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..

[DubDee 21,253]

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

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

[The heart beats true 16,480]

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’.

Game might not go ahead if this is true?

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

[Bitter but optimistic 21,537]

Nothing is being mentioned on the Fox pregame.

Kath Loughnan currently interviewing Fagan live on ground. Players training in the background.

What's supposed to be happening?

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

She fell upwards - that is news.

[Jibroni 4,228]

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