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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
