    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

    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

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • 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.
