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.


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. 

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.

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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
