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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
