So you tipped them? The Dogs have been playing some good footy also but not always getting the wins.

Out of interest how many have you tipped this week? I’m on 1, the Swans. Just about everyone I know, or comments I’ve read on here or social media the most I’ve seen tipped so far is 2. Some tipped the Crows and the Swans. That also includes the so called experts on tripple M and SEN pages. If you tipped them that’s an awesome get in footy tipping comps. I see Ballarat being similar to the NT for us, Canberra for GWS and Bellerive Oval for the Hawks.

I'm leading the tipping and have 2 so far. Which is GWS and Adelaide. I almost pulled the trigger on Gold Coast (Brisbane looked tired last week) and wish I'd picked the Blues (that one annoys me as I should have picked them). re GWS, they are on a roll and have top end talent, sometimes momentum and confidence does bloody wonders hey! I must also say that I'm happy to get Geelong wrong as I cannot stand them.

They are 2 great gets. I managed to get back to equal first last week. This may sound stupid but from what I can work out the person who was leading purely takes the home team if they are the favourite.

Sometimes leading the tipping when its close late in the season can be the worst! All you do is pick the favourites, while others around you pick roughies that normally get up at this time of year.

Hmm, I do wonder how many of those scenarios are actually 'a long term coach left the club in a mess because they kept making decisions to keep their position tenable each year and eventually it all caught up with the club and left them in the [censored zone], causing multiple coaches to be burned through before any restoration began.

Kevin Sheedy and Leigh Matthews at least had a collection of premierships, but then at North you've got Brad Scott clinging on for almost a decade and being unmistakably responsible for wrecking the list and the culture.

Fun fact - Brad Scott's first season at North was an exact 50% win rate. He currently has exactly 50% in his first season at Essendon.

He also has an exact 50% win-loss rate in finals(4 -4), and if Essendon lose next week he'll have an exact 111-111 win-loss count from his 222 home-away games as coach!

We have had great list over different periods and never won a flag.  Goody has won us a flag and kept us in the top 4 for 3 years now which is a fantastic effort.  Premierships are extremely difficult to win and just because we think our list is better than everyone else’s this is not the reality in an extremely even competition. 

So the players will be happy with the Dynasty  eh?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
