Super important game Sydney vs Freo in terms of our draft haul. Go the Swannies. 

Also can the Hawks get it done over Richmond? Unlikely I guess, but would be delicious if it happened.

I'd laugh if Carlton got done by West Coast but not going to happen.

I'd guess Bulldogs over Essendon, lions over Geelong at the Gabba, Pies over Port, GWS over Suns, us over Crows, Saints over north.

    in some respects, puddy tatts beating the bears may benefit us more but i really can't stand em, so...no

    Clearly Sydney beating Freo and Brisbane beating Geelong are my picks from the menu.

    We need Geelong as far away as top 4 as possible.

    Top 2 is not critical in my book. The last time first and second both made a grand final was 2014. One of the grand finalist is invariably 3rd, 4th or 5th.

    I reckon a fully fit Melb or Geelong team could win it from 5th. Obviously 4th is perfect . Play and beat Pies at the G straight through to prelim at the G.

    Might change my mind if cats are mauled by the lions on the weekend.

    Top sides should win or lose narrowly at the Gabba not get flogged. Huge game.

    Hopefully the Dogs and Lions can win big and obviously the Swannies.

    After our game the 3 teams I hope get up are the Lions, Swans and the Suns. 
    If the Suns can’t win this one I see them finishing below Freo.

    More than happy for GC to beat GWS.

    I'm still stinging from our preventable loss to GWS and it would be kind of good to see the Suns play in their first finals series. Plus the added bonus of them staying above Freo.

    A Geelong win will send warning bells to the top 4 including Pies. Yes we all know(media) that young Daicos is the greatest thing since the fall of the Roman empire but theyre highly beatable in Sept.

    Who has Essendon beaten? Hope bulldogs win but theyre an ordinary team if Bont has an average game.

    The media is still building up the dogs. Great list apparently.  Absurd.

    Anyone else disappointed that the FIFA Women's World Cup cannot be watched live free to air, in the group stages, unless a Matilda's game.

    Oh well, more power to the AFL. As the FIFA once again misses the opportunity to gather fans.

    Yes unfortunately that's what happens when SBS do not cover major football events.

    Weeds out, Oskar in.

    Which teams turn up tonight, fumbles and cannot clear the backline, or good marking, smart, quick ball movement with some swarming runs?

    The mids battle could be interesting.

    Surely Pies over Port as well? I’m still hopeful (dreaming) Port lose their next 3.

    No, only the Matildas and the opening game.

    The rest is on opus sports. 

    I guess they will play them all when out of groups.

    Just had a look at the broadcast fixture, only the final and it looks like the semis as well, are free to air. 

    The  rounds of 16 are not free to air either.

    I heard seven will broadcast the Australian games?

    • 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.
