    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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
