Adelaide, Carlton and the Suns winning (along with us) would put a nice break on the 7-12 group.

GWS may as well beat the Swans given that the Swans will be in the mix for positions 2-5.

Tigers could upset Freo but I doubt it.

If Dogs lose to the Hawks Bevo won't see the season out

I'm prepared to cede top spot to GWS for the present. They do us little harm if they are a break away number 1.

The next 6 weeks will see some important positioning for the post bye run home.

    Some cracking matches 

    Arguably match of the round is on 1:45 on Saturday which is strange

    WC to beat the bombers is my hot tip

    7PM match at the GABBA on Sunday night? Seriously htf did that get through to the final fixture? 

    Two Queensland teams. You'd be lucky if 20,000 people in the whole country GAF. 5,000 of whom support a team that hasn't existed for nearly 30 years.

    I think when we last played in Hobart they played each other on the Saturday at Marvel and Essendon goaled in the final seconds to win by 1 point. I remember walking past a pub and stopped to watch the last two minutes when I saw the coasters were leading.

    I don't really want Carlton to win. 

    But. 

    I do want Coll to lose.  A loss this week closes their chances of a top 4 finish.  🙏🤞.  And, with such a poor %, a loss could keep them out of the 8 and miss finals altogether !!! 🙂

    I'm a big fan of Sunday night games. Seems these days they are only before public holidays. Essendon Carlton in Round 13 before KB.

    I'm the other way Clinto - I'd rather get a good win out of the way early in the round and enjoy the weekend stress free. Nothing worse than waiting for Sunday night to roll around.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
