A few good results would be:

- 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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
