I think the best thing about monitoring Fremantle's ladder position is the contrast it provides with the feeling that our own destiny is in our own hands. Thinking about the Demons, I think only of our game and maybe take a glance at how the top-4 is progressing. Thinking about Fremantle requires tipping half the round!

Gold Coast over West Coast (Death ride +1)

Richmond to upset Geelong (Death ride +2)

Sydney to splatter Fremantle (Death ride +3)

Port over North (dreams have limits)

Melbourne over Hawthorn (by >20 goals)

Brisbane over Essendon (meh)

Carlton over the Bulldogs (but really, coin toss here)

Adelaide over St Kilda (high drama!)

Collingwood over West Sydney (Death ride -1)

    There's a big logjam at present with 7 teams on 18-24 points. Other than one of Carlton or the Dogs falling off the pace I'm not anticipating much movement in the logjam.

    A Swans loss would end any chance of top 4 you would think

    Other than the Carlton Dogs game, Saturday is going to be a day of one sided thrashings IMO.

    And yes I am backing Sydney to smash Freo. Season on the line for both, but Freo have Swans, Cats and then Us. They are done already.

    Would love to see the Cats beaten tonight. It's unlikely though.

    Dogs will easily account for Carlton i reckon. doggies form much better the last few weeks.

    No chance GWS beat the pies.

    the Cats have named their worst midfield for 20 years. 

    aside from Duncan who’s going to win the ball?

    Taranto will go nuts. if Tigers can kick a decent score they can win this

    Cats are 2-2 at the G. 

    Am i convincing anyone?!?

    I reckon any side currently on 12 points or under can start making their Mad Monday plans if they don't win this weekend.

    Tigers dropped Cumberland who’s actually been kicking a few. The last 2 weeks they’ve been woeful. Last week early in the 3/4 the Eagles were up by 3.  Yes Geelong’s mids look weakened but surely too much up fwd and down back.

    Tigers best is very good. They’ve just only brought it for a half against Carlton, against us and now for one quarter against Geelong so far this season. If they keep this going Geelong will be in for a big fight.

    • 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.
