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”

tonight Maynard will be taken out 

 

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

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
