    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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
