Finish it off suns. Hoping for a swans and Adelaide win and we are doing pretty well for pick 4 and keep top 2 hopes alive.

    If the Suns are ever going to realise their potential, they just have to win this game. 

    Basically the Gold Coast club motto. Except this time... they might yet hold on!

    Is there a way to slip them a note to convince them that percentage matters?

    We’ve managed pretty well without Oliver, but looks like Bears are struggling without Ashcroft.

    Pity. Would have been one of the best coast to coast goals you'll see.

    I played it safe this week after many disappointments by the Suns and Bulldogs/Carlton. I regret it.

    I tipped 9 last week (1st time this year) and found myself equal 1st in my work tipping comp. I caught up 2 points, I’m guessing it was on Pies and Swans. So far facing 0 & 4 but I think most in the same boat.

    Blues without McKay and Walsh

    Freo without Darcy

    GWS continue to surprise, Dogs have been in reasonable form.

    Suns, speechless considering what’s at stake for the Lions.

    Is it just me or have the lions gotten some favourable games tonight that have kept them in it?

    Are you telling me Zorko's not an inspirational leader DD? What drugs are you on?

    I have given up on my tipping comp like 3 rounds ago. Too many risky choices I made during the first 10 rounds.

    GC performance evens makes Kelli Underwoods commentary bearable.

    Sparrow keeps getting called Swallow but it doesn't seem to work the other way 🤔

    I hope we make the most of this opportunity and win big tomorrow.

    We can not only move up to third , but if the Crows beat Port and we keep winning and Port drop one more we could finish second.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
