    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. 😂

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
