Hope the Cats get smashed tonight. Although no Nick or Steele makes it interesting.

Sydney and Bombers will overtake the Cats and they'll be 11th.

suck it

    Tricky games for the Lions and Port. Would be great if the Crows and Giants can turn them over.

    Geelong - Pies, can't make up my mind. Pies losing keeps the door open for top spot (albeit a slim chance), but that keeps Geelong's season alive. I think I prefer Geelong out of finals.

    Adelaide to upset the lions.

    Ditto GWS at AO.

    And we beat Carlton locking in the top 4.

    Upset alert!

    I feel it in me bones

    North will beat the bombers

    bombers are cooked, are missing a few and should have lost to WC at home last week. Cunnington and Wardlaw in for north

    Brisbane v Adelaide

    Percentage could well decide second spot.

    A high scoring close shoot out would be wonderful assuming we can't have a Crows win

    120-118 is perfect

    Probably better for us if Collingwood lose to Geelong tonight. It give us more options.

    1) We will likely finish higher than Collingwood on percentage if we go 3-0 and they go to 1-2, and therefore securing a top 2 spot.

    2) Should us and Port go 2-1, Collingwood go 1-2, and Brisbane go 3-0, we would finish third and play second placed Collingwood. Don't mind that scenario at all.

    Agree.

    Very hard to win at the gabba.

    But the crows will give it a shake, it's an elimination final for them and they have a pretty good defensive system.

    The last few weeks for us have been huge (our own results and others going our way), but this week is just as big. Beat Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane and Port lose and we'll just about guarantee top 2. 🤞

    Definitely want Collingwood to beat the kittens. I cant stand their arrogance and Dangerfield saga this week is the last straw. [censored] them.!

    Norff to beat motley Bombers who get the rub of the green more than the bulldogs. Umps saved them last week. Useless.

    Crows a chance against Lions at the gabba. If Tex fires up so will the whole team.

    Can’t see all those 3 losing. 
    But, I said it before and it happened so who knows. 
     

    I am the most confident GWS beat Port. Less confident Crows beat Lions at home. Not confident at all that Pies lose to Geelong, who to me looked absolutely cooked.

    I have tipped North to beat the Bombers - at Marvel, Bombers not playing great footy, North can challenge but rarely for 4 quarters. Tonight, they will do it for Cunnington.

    Collingwood tonight. Cats out of the finals is sweet, sweet bliss.

    Collingwood to play again at the G v cats. They played and won there in Rnd 1. Why do they never ever play at Kat Park?!! Its like only 3 times in the modern era v our at least 25 times.

    Fitzroy have played more games there than Collingwood.

    Enquiry pls !!

    Important to wait until the very last minute of the very last game before claiming top spot! 😁

    Tonight I'll be watching Pies-Cats just to see if there's still a silly chance of it happening.

    Pies are only two games ahead of us so if they drop this one then the hunt is on for real.

    I'm clinging to a dream where Essendon pip them in the final round and cost Collingwood top spot, but then the Bombers still miss out on finals.

    Nope, its possible we could become favourites if Collingwood lost (3rd game in a row) and we won regardless of top spot.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
