Looks like this weekly thread hasn't been started yet.   There's some difficult games to tip.

But I really just wanted an excuse to post this picture of a young Harry Sheezel with one of his childhood heroes.

They'll be playing against each other this weekend!

Bulldogs have a nice little deal going with their Ballarat games. Reportedly they get $1M from the State Government to play there.

Could we have a game in say sunny Mildura.

The irony is that the ground capacity in Ballarat is so small most Dog supporters don't bother with the trip

Gees Geelong’s midfield looks really ordinary this weekend against the Dockers. Wouldn’t be surprised at all…

Agreed. Duncan was their only decent mid last weekend and he is out

Freo should win easy at home

the Blues v Pies should be interesting 

Carlton under the pump will come out hard

aside from that not too much of interest

the Giants are my tip for an upset against Saints. and Freo to beat Cats still counts as an upset 


Reckon North are a chance against Sydney. Swans have been well down recently.

Very tough round to tip. You could make a reasonable case for how each team could win.

And I'm jumping off the death ride this week. I want to see the Cats lose even if it does hurt our draft position.

MFCSS

swans

dogs

freo

bears

druggies

hawks

filth 

saints

 

Crows are a real chance against the Dogs. A cold wet day on Mars favours their direct playing game as against the tall forward play of the Dogs

Meth Coast must have run over a black Cat and Broke Untold number of mirrors. They now have flu though the team.

they want that #1 pick (that they're going to trade to us)

How good would it to end up with pick One and Two.

i imagine we'll package our 2x 2023 1st rounders and 1x 2024 1st rounder for pick 1

i want a premiership and pick 1 kplsthxbye

The AFL would change the rules in advance.

On the one hand, nothing pleases me more than a Geelong loss. On the other hand, MY PRECIOUS DRAFT PICKS💔


Reckon nth can knock off Sydney & I give Freo a chance.

Last week a Collingwood supporter on social media was going on about Mason Cox saying he was up for trade and how stupid do the other clubs look not being interested, I replied with no we took Brodie Grundy instead. Thanks for him by the way.

Hope Richmond win tonight because Essendon have a couple of cruisy weeks.

I see nth players have said they want to put a smile on Clarkson's face and they'll have extra motivation. I would have thought maybe doing that while he was coaching

West Coast showing an absolute masterclass in tanking, planting a flu virus in their remaining fit players.

 

Hopefully the AFL can see that it's injuries and sickness and no priority pick is needed.

Looks like a full house in Ballarat. I didn't think the dogs fans would travel.

Only has a capacity of 11k so it's usually a sell out

It's the same travel time as Geelong from Melbourne so it's not a long travel. Not much further than Casey from the Melbourne CBD in travel time.

Why Bulldogs are paid $1M to play there by the State Government... who knows

They don't bring 11k to the MGC hence my surprise.

i suppose the locals head along which bumps up the crowd.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?
