5/5 so far. (Unfortunately didn’t put money on it so kinda happy if one of tomorrow results doesn’t salute)

Literally every result has gone our way so far, although North beating WC doesn’t make a lick of difference to us.

Geelong losing tomorrow would be nice.

but say if you did put $10 on it how much would you have won??

😬

$3490 off a $10 bet but I was never betting on the 7 leg multi so I can’t complain.

The combination of winners so far this round is absolutely sick.

That shows the Brisb loss for us.  Since then we have had bad losses to WCE and Freo.

As we know any team can win on any given day.  However, I wonder what the circle looks like for teams with 3 bad losses (we get a mulligan for the Sydney loss).

maybe the umps can tell us who will win the remaining games 

Umps seem to be stacking up the ladder. Geelong and Carlton winning would help this. HQ would prefer Pie$$$$$ tomorrow.


All teams coming off the bye have won this weekend including 2 upsets

I wonder how useful the 'Circle of Parity' is, as I don't see much correlation between each teams results.  What it shows is each team can have a bad loss at some stage; it is just 'raw data'.  It doesn't say much about performance or usefulness as an analytical or predictive tool.

If it is used to explain performance it is better to look at the trend (and we aren't trending so well right now).

Eagles got dudded by the umps.  (But no tears from me 🤣)

Yeo must still be scratching his head !!! 

yeo dragged the pill back underneath him; that's holding the ball every day of week


Swans and byes dont get along very well.

This qtr shows no team is immune to pressure. Even the best team in the comp by a mile. Makes me wonder why some teams just don’t dial it up more.

Puddy Tats all over the Swannies 

Good. i backed them at the line.

Tis the season for wacky results.

By, the by, comimg into this game the cats have lost 4 in a row, including having had 160 points on them by the suns (who couldn't manage 50 points in their loss to the saints last night).

The giants have lost four of their last 5.

Is anyone writing either team off?

Nah, only us. By our own supporters.

Neither of them lost to the Eagles or by 90pts though.

Or can’t reset at Half Time 

It’s all above the Shoulders…

Well, nor did we.

But if you are making comparisons, we haven't lost four on end.

And the cats were every bit as bad  in that loss to the suns as we were against the dockers.

Your implication is that dees fans have 'written off' the team?  Easy to generalise but some examples where that has happened?

And not sure what you mean by 'written off':  Finals? Top 4?  Premiership?

The facts are:

  • our recent results (trend) is not good.  Ditto other teams vying for finals. 
  • Top 2 for us is virtually impossible. 
  • Top 4 is a challenge. 
  • We will make finals and it is up to the team to perform from there. 

Still a long way to go !!  No reason why we can't go all the way.

Swans don't have the same hometown umpiring advantage like you see in Adelaide or Perth

To be fair, I've been trying to write the Cats off since 2021.

Bastards refuse to die.

I feel like using the evenness of the competition is giving this group an excuse. The coach and players have already come out and said last week was unacceptable, even Lever said in an interview that complacency has seeped into the group. I absolutely expect a fierce response tomorrow and hopefully it continues on after the bye.

  • 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.
