For those who have the entire fixture in their heads, whom should I barrack for between Essendon and Cats?  (Assuming I hate them both and fear Geelong a bit more in the finals)

    Even if they lose today they could only lose 2 more (Geelong and Collingwood). Unless they drop another and we win all our games we can’t mathematically catch them. 

    Agree

    Assuming Port lose today

    We'd need to win 6 and they'd need to lose 3

    Won't happen

    Mind you Port also have the game against Adelaide ??

    A draw would be almost perfect

    Port got cocky resting so many players this week. 
    They’ve gone hard early in the season because Hinkley is under so much pressure. But the reality is, it could come back and bite them. July premiers do not September premiers make.

    Essendon have a very soft draw. 

    Correct. 
    Geelong still have to play Brisbane in Brisbane, Port and Pies. If they’re to overtake us we need to lose 2-3 more games and realistically they have to win every game.

    Port could easily lose the next four:

    Carlton - doesn't look good

    Collingwood

    Adelaide

    Geelong - at Deliveranceville

    Cats, then we’d be 2 games clear of 5th.

    I can't believe I am enjoying watching Carlton serve it up to Port. They are doing to Port what we did to the Pies - crowding their wide-playing ball carriers and making them accountable. Pressure really works.

    hedge your bets and just barrack for the draw.

    Carlton fans call insufficient intent for any ball that goes out of bounds. 

    I don't blame them.  The current stupid and inconsistent  'interpretation' is a lottery and you have to buy a ticket to win.

    Port Adelaide showed arrogance and disrespect by dropping seven players in their match with Carlton.

    They might find that their previous good form is not so easy to switch back on.

    I hope Carlton gives them a hiding. Furthermore they deserve to be punished for imposing  that dreadful dirge about being alone.

    Port look second rate. Could it be they got their loading wrong ? They were lucky to win last week against the Bombers as well.. 

    or are they leaving their loading run later…

    At Marvel Stadium now, the Blues are looking like 4 strong wins on the trot ...

    They’ve beaten Gold Coast, Freo and Hawks. Let’s calm down. 
    This is a good win, but Port absolutely cocky to drop this many players for a rest and think they’ll waltz it in. Rubbish call.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
