Results to favour the Dees:

Essendon to beat Collingwood

North to beat GC

Dogs to beat Port

Hawthorn to beat Geelong

Carlton to beat GWS

Richmond to beat Freo

Adelaide to beat Brisbane

Wrap that into a multi and it's paying $2,149 - $1

Didn't include St Kilda and Sydney as that game has absolutely no affect on us.

    I reckon the bombers will continue to drop like last year and miss the 8. So I guess its best for us that the Pies win?

    I feel ill      🤮

    This is the only time I go for Collingwood. I hate them slightly less than I hate Essendon.

    But who would I really like to see as the big winners tonight? That’d be injuries. Injuries… and lots of ‘em. Not life-ending injuries, not necessarily career-ending (bar that slimy thug), just 120 minutes of watching both sides dropping like flies. Mainly Essendon players since we play them next week. Oh, and suspensions: a week, six weeks, doesn’t matter as long as it’s a big-name Essendon player.

    Please and thanks in advance, Footy gods!

    With Moore and Maynard playing, it's almost a certainty that someone from Essendon will get injured

    But there's a stupid scenario that has us jumping up a whopping one spot to 11th even if we're good enough to beat West Coast and Essendon, and the following also happens:

    Essendon beat Collingwood but lose to us (1-1)

    Collingwood lose to Essendon and then beat Geelong (1-1)

    GC beat North and Port at home (2-0)

    Port beat Dogs and lose to GC (1-1)

    GWS beat Carlton and Richmond (2-0)

    Therefore I hope Collingwood, North, and Carlton all win.

    Not the end of the world if Port beat Dogs because their percentage is poor and they could very well lose to GC away next week.

    Maybe they could get another draw tonight.  That would be OK. 

    As much as I hate to say it I think I want the pies to win, only because some bummers fans are getting a bit nervous & they've seen this falling down the ladder thing happen before & it's always hilarious. 

    If nth beat gc dimma will go nuts

    Collingwood Essendon…since when are they allowed to play on a Friday night? 
    It’s usually a bloody holiday so you don’t have to watch…

    My theory about tonights game is, if Essendon beat collingwood we will beat Essendon next week. If they dont, we dont.

    I think the planets align between you and I, WCW. It is simple - hate the Pies slightly less (only slightly) than the horrid Bummers. Not sure I can agree about injuries, but I hope the Bummers are very sore after a physical game.

    Strangely, I love watching both the Daicos boys play. But with the constant self-flagellant drooling from the channel 7 commentary team, and all the non football cross promotions about them including their over exposed father, and their new deluxe spa for w-anchors, I am going to watch tonight with a vomit bucket near to hand.

    100%. Essendon look really shaky. We’re primed to take their spot.

    You know, I was never like this in the past. I would never wish injury on anyone, even Essendon players. But everything changed with the Gussy travesty. I’m not comfortable wanting opposition players to sustain injuries but this is how it is now. Thanks again, you filthy piece of sch!tt Maynard.

    I agree QD, but I’m a little concerned about BBP talking to himself. First sign of madness, they say. 🤭

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
