[Demonland 66,532]

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

I've put my hard earned on the Dogs tonight.

I can't recall the last time when 5 games out from season's end that the performance of teams below us were almost irrelevant to our long term position.

Port and Brisbane are the main games in town

Let the others scrap....

I'm still hoping we win all our games, including a big percentage earner on Sunday, Coll. don't win by much tomorrow, and lose the next three.  Meanwhile Port lose one game, and Bris don't have any percent boosters......and we end up minor Premiers!!!

I know it doesn't matter if we're first or second....but I quite like being minor Premiers. Last time we went on and won the Major prize!!

[loges 6,248]

Um, Collingwood are 3 games ahead, plus percentage.

[Witches Hat 237]

Go Cats. Go Dockers.

I feel so dirty, good thing I have no pride.

Won't be surprised if the Saints knock off the media anointed Premiers elect.

I’m hoping the giants beat the swans. Don’t want the swans to have something to play for when we play them in the last round.

They'll find something to play for ... Teams always do against us.

I distinctly recall when they didn’t find something to play for against us and we’d still get spanked 🏏

For once I just want a team to put the cue firmly in it's rack against us. I see lots of NON-MFC games (to bring this back on topic) where one team has gone to lunch yet we'll play them the next week and it's back to work.

Yes, the last few weeks have certainly felt like that… shame about Carlton’s resurgence really… hoping for a Giants and saints win this week… likelihood is quite low though.

North will fold this weekend. Nice percentage boost coming up

A Geelong win is good for the Dees, but bad for the soul

[sue 8,477]

I want Geelong and Carlton out of the finals.

Who to barrack for tonight to increase the odds of that happening?  Arrrghhh, it's all too complicated- advise please.

I leave aside the Geelong Port game - as Jaded said, too damaging to the soul to even think about it.

For the first time I can think of Geelong is the lesser of two evils here. It also helps I won't have to watch Tom Hawkins waddle around.

Good luck with that.

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,629]

I didn't say it was likely we'd finish so high, but possible.

I always hope for the best.

Sounds like you hold no hope!

Ok ok I’ll just barrack against Port 

Not FOR Geelong tho. Nobody call the psych ward.

I'm thinking because of the influence behind closed walls in the Port Players Rooms that there would be a fair amount of dismay and quite a lot of annoyance between the players and Coach, 

This bloke can be construed as neglecting his interest and their interests and welfares, by his cognisance of  some of them returning to the ground.
