NON-MFC: Round 09

[Demonland 72,217]

Who are you tipping this week? Who do you actually want to win? What are the best results for the Demons?

[Jaded No More 68,958]

Us? Probably 

Geelong 

Swans

Who cares

GWS

Tigers for the lols

Who cares 2.0

Hopefully Eagles but most likely Pies

Crom

[Stu 925]

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.

[DubDee 25,891]

Why play two good games concurrently on friday night?

The round is pretty much done after Friday night

[Diamond_Jim 12,592]

only our game at the mcg 

The rest under the dark roof of Docklands plus Taxpayer Park 

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

Good Round, hard to pick winners 

This is the week where Teams could break away…

[Redleg 40,944]

Cats get a crippled Port at home.

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.

 

[Ollie fan 3,419]

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

[Diamond_Jim 12,592]

Collingwood without a recognised forward.

Howe to play forward apparently.

Dare we hope for an Eagles upset
