GWS to remain undefeated.
A Grand Finalist to have an absolute blowtorch on them next week.

    What what, yes that’s what I thought, but I rarely get them all.  So which one or ones are wrong

    Hawks were ordinary against us and have been getting some stick in the media this week because of it. Would be good if this spurs them on to a performance against the Cats.

    i actually wouldn't mind the pies getting up against the Lions. Lions are better top 4 chance than pies so the more games they lose the better as far as I'm concerned.

    Another pretty straight forward round in tipping aside from possibly the Dons/Saints game.

    What’s straightforward about Brisbane- Collingwood or our game?

    i reckon i could pick teams out of a hat and have as much success as i do in tipping

    competition is so even apart from the bottom three or so teams

    1) I didn’t include our game as it’s a non MFC thread. We can win if we’re at our near best

    2) Just think Brisbane win this game based on Collingwood’s last 2 visits there and Brisbane’s awesome record up there. I’m treating their loss to Carlton as a GABBA anomaly.

    Collingwood will win in Brisbane and the press will fawn all over how they are back and the first few weeks will be forgotten.

    Brisbane are soft, and my God I hate Collingwood!

    No circumstances exist where I would want the filth to win.

    Pies will go 0-4 and will drop out of contention. 

    Carlton and GWS Giants were seemingly out of contention well past the halfway mark last year and yet, both finished close to playing off in a grand final. Even at 0-4, I wouldn’t write the Pies off.

    I never want them to win either except if it benefits us. I’m not one to cut off my nose to spite my face.

    Apparently a little wet underfoot at the Gabba with 50mm yesterday and 35mm the day before. Less rain today and tomorrow

    According to Sportsbet, Brisbane are strongly favoured to win at home against the Magpies. 

    Rain is stopping and fine weather is predicted.

    Gabba sold out some time ago according to my pies supporting mate from Brisbane. Should be a good game.

    Except for the country roads song

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
