    Interestingly, if the top 4 win their games there will be a two game break (1.5 wins to be exact) between 4th and 5th. Either way, if we win we'll either move up the ladder or get that break on 5th to 8th heading into two games that are well spaced apart against teams outside the 8.

    Some big "8" point games this weekend.

    From an MFC viewpoint I think it best to look for an outcome that reduces the number of top 4 contenders (as Stu says above)

    On that basis I'm hoping for wins to

    Geelong

    Sydney

    GWS and

    Adelaide

    Another very big game for us

    Seems such an overly long season although in reality it's simply that at this stage of our "window" it's all about the finals series with the Home and Away being a necessary prelude. (This must be what Hawthorn supporters perhaps felt.)

    Of course this weekend's football is up against the phenomenally successful Eurovision Song Contest.

    Don't miss Croatia's Baby Lasagna (singing Rim Tim Tagi Dim) . You never know might be a candidate for the Tassie team's theme song.

    GC usually have their best fortnight of the year in Darwin and then fall off the cliff. Therefore tipping Norf would he be beyond brave.

    Freo could definitely knock off Sydney in Perth if they’re at their best.

    The double header on Friday night is due to having one less game on Mother’s Day. That one looks to be a staple in the fixture.

    After Friday night, Ess/GWS and Adelaide/Brisbane should be good games.

    I can see some upsets this round, specifically Hawks, Tigers and banged up Brisbane all winning.

    Don't Port have a surprisingly good record at Geelong? Or am i just imagining that?

    But their "outs" this week are damaging. Unfortunately I feel an easy win for the "puddycats". Scott's presser should be worth listening too. Ugh.

    We've been taking all of Ports games at Kardinia Park.

    Since 2013 Port have only played Geelong there 4 times. Geelong have won all 4.

    They have met 17 times in that period. 3 of those were finals. 2 in Adelaide and 1 at the MCG.

    All the remaining games (10) have been played at Adelaide Oval (8) or Footy Park (1) with 1 game on the Gold Coast during COVID in 2020.

    Gee tigs v dogs will be interesting 

    Of course Collingwood get West coast as they're getting back on the winning list. But at least they have to travel to marvel. 

    Hoping gws can beat the bummers

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • 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.
