Who are you tipping this weekend and what are the best results for the Demons?

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.

this week...

• footscray?
• tiggas
• bluebaggers
• bears?
• bloods?
• pear?
• gw$
• us
• aints

not so many 50-50 games this week

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.

I want the dogs to win tonight. I want the bummers out of the 8 at the end of this round 

Beware the eight teams outside the 8. Upsets are coming.

Dogs

Tigers

Blues - watch this game

Lions

Freo

Pies

Giants

Dees

North yes the Roos.

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

 

Go Swans

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. 

Hawks to beat tigers and unfortunately geelong to beat the bears.

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.

Massive games this week in terms of shaping the 8 AND our precious draft picks.

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

Aren't they on 7mate?

Maurice Rioli dropped….good.

All the Challenge kids with Essendon as they ran out was amazing. The kids looked so happy. It was fantastic.

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?
