I will never understand why people melt after wins on here when we have rounds like this. 

Felt guilty barracking for Freo today, but it couldn’t have worked out any better. 

Footy is our religion.

    As I suspected, they went hard early because Ken’s job is very much on the line. It’s impossible to sustain for 24 rounds then finals. 
    Will they find a third gear in time?

    Only @binman can answer this one 😂

    My take is it extremely difficult to back up after a game as intense and physical as last weeks pies port game - particularly if it is another high stakes, high pressure game.

    I mean, the evidence simply could not be clearer.

    It's not that the pies and port, first and second on the ladder, both lost.

    It's how they lost - both teams were gassed from the get go.

    I wouldn't be writing port off on the back of that game. 

    That said i think it is a joke so many 'experts' had a top three - pies, port and lions - and the rest.

    And I'm glad I've banged in about it. Peanuts everywhere in the media.

    And on port - I didn't rate them in the top 3 prior to that game. So nothing has changed.

    My one regret on the punting front is not backing the crows over 39. 

    Had the line and win bets covered, but should have had a nibble on the over 39 because that game was my best bet of the year. The crows were set for it. And as I expected port were gassed.

    I may be going 0-9 hahaha

    Obviously I want to be 1-8, Dees over the Tigers 🤞🏻

    I don't think I have seen a round of football with this many upsets ever will be interesting tomorrow with the North v Eagles and Hawks v Saints.

    Are you backing them to beat Geelong next week?

    Also is Ashcroft that important to the Lions? Their midfield was trash today. GC shut down Neale and that was curtains. They’re back to being one paced again.

    Buddy is a spent force. It’s actually better for us if he plays

    Might be true now that he's pinged a hamstring, but his previous three games netted seven goals and four goal assists. Very handy spent force!

    I was just thinking about that Saints game. I chance to secure 5th spot. It’s just the sort of game they’ll cough up.

    I reckon WC may be a chance, NM could be aiming to finish below WC.

    How does a game of rugby union at the MCG get 84,000? I don’t know anyone in this city that cares about it.

    I didn't watch the cats dockers game, so not sure how poorly cats played. 

    But i can't see the cats losing twice in a row at home, particularly because port will struggle to come up after two weeks of intense footy and have to travel.

    On rhe travel, interstate teams must hate playing at kp because they have to fly into tulla and then get in a bus for what, 75 mins, down to Geelong?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
