- Saints beat Lions 

- Bombers beat Freo 

- Adelaide beat Pies

    If the Saints can get a W it will help a lot of their confidence, if they can't then they're still just another Joe Blow team in the bottom half of the 8.

    Can’t argue with that at all, I was just looking back through the games, all be it at home bad kicking cost them victory last time they met. Will be a cracking game to watch. Crows have some gun fwds and mids, not sure how their defence will hold up though.

    I don't that top 2 is a realistic hope for the Dees. Lions are certain to finish top 4 by reason of their likely home wins.

    Accordingly, I prefer that teams pushing for 4th place on the ladder lose ... read St Kilda!!

    Oh, wow. Color me shocked.

    Lions look so much more energised this week. So much more run.

    It's like they are a completely different team to the listless lions that limped to loss against the hawks.

    Just an off game last week I guess.

    Glad I backed them

    So based on your theory you can get some serious value next week on Essendon beating Port, Hawthorn beating Carlton and Fremantle beating Dogs. All underdogs. Multi paying $18.

    You might be soon though if the Saints don’t improve quickly.

    That's not my theory behind backing the lions. 

    I knew the lions would be running over the ground in their third game after their bye.

    The lions are a much better side than the sainsts (who, by the by, had their bye three weeks ago so should also not be fatgued).

    And the docklands doesn't expose their lack of pace like the G.

    The lions should have been shorter odds in my opinion - and the main reason they weren't is their post bye performance against the hawks

    I rarely back the win, almost always the line, and my assessment was minus five points line @ 1.90 represented excellent value.

    Similarly, the minus five points line @ 1.90 for freo tommorow night against the bombers also represents excellent value - because they were so poor against the giants due to fatigue.

    In fact it is probably even better value than the lions bet - freo are playing their second post match ground (and like the lions will be running on top of the ground) and the bombers are coming off their bye.

    I thought you were intimating the struggles post bye. Every “fresh” club has lost thus far, including Brisbane’s loss to Hawthorn.

    Those 3 games I mentioned for next week, I’m sure at least one or two outsiders will salute based on the post bye theory.

    No you're right, all are good value because of the post bye factor.

    But what I'm saying is many punters will have marked the lions down because they were poor against the hawks.

    But got the symptoms right, but the diagnosis of the problem wrong - the key factor in their loss was fatgue. Same for freo.

    A good recipie for value.

    Scoring has really started to dry up as clubs have gone to work on one-another’s game plan and strategies.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
