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).

    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.

    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.

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
