    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
