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

who i'm tipping:

  • puddy tatts
  • flagmantle
  • bloods
  • baggers
  • crom
  • them
  • pear
  • gw$
  • bears

who i'd like:

  • filth or draw, probably draw
  • dorks
  • bloods
  • footscray
  • aints
  • us
  • pear
  • tigs
  • meth coke

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 hope the Pussycatos are hungry and ready for action and hope they totally blitz the Filth!

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.

a la the ‘Bombres’ on their run through one year. 


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?

I have tipped The Demons 

Just got a feeling…..

we are almost paying $3 under 40 points. great odds!

Bombers have only beaten one decent team all year. we’ll smash em!

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

contest the ball, hard…

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. 😂


Go cats tonight 

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.

Don’t ever say “pies to win”

Pies to loose. 
Pies too loose. 
Pies too lose. 
Pies Toulouse. 
Pies to lose.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
