    The heart always says I want Collingwood to lose but what result is the best for Melbourne?

    If you think we can go on a winning streak you want Collingwood to win by around 25 points and MFC to win by 30.

    That would probably see us overtake both Collingwood and Geelong

    Why want Port to win? They are ahead of us and GC will only win 10/11 games at most.

    Been meaning to ask for an explanation of these monikers for ages: 'Crom', Flagmantle' and 'Pear'.

    I believe Crom originated from a typo in a forum somewhere years back, and the footy-posting public got hold of it and it got legs.  Not 100% sure though.

    Pies V Cats is a tough one.  Both average teams in average form but can look good on their day

    At the G, I'd probably go for the Pies

    I believe Flagmantle is taking the mickey as they haven't won one yet

    Pear is the bogan way Port fans yell Poowwaaa.  Ends up sounding like Pear sort of?

    I'm not a fan on the monikers tbh

    Or, I wondered, a dig at Peter Bell's perennial claims?

    We still have a lot of good players out there tomorrow, those players all need to lift for each other

    Collingwood v Geelong games are tough - I hate wanting either side to win. But in this instance I think we want Geelong - I doubt we can catch Geelong given their fixture (Collingwood, the Dogs and Fremantle are the only relevant sides they have, the rest being North, Adelaide, St Kilda and West Coast), so I'd rather sink losses into Collingwood to keep us above them.

    We won't catch Carlton so we definitely want them to beat the Dogs (and handsomely too if possible).

    Gold Coast v Port is another tough one. We'll likely have to beat both to make finals. Can GC find 4 wins out of GWS (away), Brisbane, West Coast (away), Essendon (away) and Richmond (away)? If not, we want them to beat Port to try to keep us closer to Port.

    Outside of our game, a Richmond upset over GWS would be the best result of the weekend, though.

    crom - cos the crows mistakenly printed 'go the crom' on official merch once and it's stuck with their fanbase; they've even produced merch mocking themselves about it, i believe

    flagmantle - it's the aspirational name their own fanbase gave to themselves in the year they got beaten by the hawks in the grand final in the mid 2010s; meth coke fans call them 'flogmantle' in response

    pear - cos their fans all sound like they're saying 'carn the pear' when they say 'carn the power' and it has, like the crom, been adopted by their own fanbase as a term of affection for the team

    Pies fanbase not so inclined, however?...

    I’ve no respect for people who don’t pick their team in the footy tipping. I’ve picked Melbourne every game since 1986.

    In our comp there’s a North supporter and she’s dead last because she picks them every round. I know who to call when I need a loyal friend though - and everyone was so pumped for her last weekend.

    Some of you should be ashamed. 😂

    Brisbane beware of the sacked coach games, where clubs suddenly find a way to win after sacking the coach.

    Bloody heck

    Do we need a draw or apocalyptic zombie attack tonight?

    Who to follow?

    Pies to win and even the comp but I keep thinking of Gus.

    Zombie attack it is then.

    • 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.
