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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
