Who do we want to win this week?

Bombers are a massive chance to choke tonight.  Crows are in better form - they have beaten the Giants, just lost to the Lions away and beaten the Saints

Put the house on it BBO!

bet irresponsibly

Essendon losing tonight and falling out of the 8 by the end of the round would bring me great joy!

If this happens and we somehow get the job done against Freo it would be the most satisfying weekend since '21

Clearly Adelaide winning would be ideal but without Tex and Rankine I can't see it happening.

To Essendon's credit they've bounced back all year from a poor performance.

GWS/Gold Coast and Hawthorn/Pies are hard ones to pick, in terms of what suits us better?

Hopefully Sydney beat Brisbane, Geelong beat Dogs and Richmond get within 50 of Port.

There's some real 'optimist v pessimist' games to decide what is best for Melbourne.

Geelong v Bulldogs

Optimist says go Doggies, to clip Geelong back so we can pursue the top-4 or home final. Pessimist hopes Geelong pick off the dogs to keep them a step behind us in the scramble for the 8.

Giants v Suns

Optimist looks for the Giants to stumble and us to pass them, pessimist says GWS can keep it's slot so long as they suppress the chasing Suns.

Hawks v Pies

Pessimist says Hawks to win because their poor percentage means they are more likely to stay behind us. Optimist says Collingwood to win because it'll be so much fun for them to still be in contention right up until we crush their dreams in round 22.

Sydney v Brisbane

Pessimist doesn't really care about this one, but the optimist hopes Sydney wins and Errol Gulden gets suspended for 10 weeks.

Fremantle v Melbourne

The optimist thinks this one will be tricky but if we win it'll make the run home much easier and make all of our potential finals opponents a little nervous. The pessimist hopes we get thrashed so they can demand Goodwin be sacked.

Hawks are favourite to beat the Pies after finishing 16th last year

What a world

 

I'm not sure if Adelaide being 8 points up at 3Q time against a putrid Saints side is that good a form line.  And I want Essendon to make the finals so they can lose another final.  So I'm hoping for an Essendon win.

Hawks should have won against Pies at Gather round if not for a missed shot at goal with less than 2 minutes left and they're in better form now.

I think the Pies will beat them Dub. 

If I didn't hate Essendon so much, I would hardly bother with tonight's game - worst Friday night fixture in a long time.

For me, I want to finish 1st or 2nd, 5th or 6th to ensure home finals. But it is too b****y cold and I am too stuffed of a Friday night to work out which teams winning or losing will get us there. So, Bummers to lose,  Dees to win, watch Hawks and Pies bruise the living suitcase out of each other, and Carlton to continue their slow leaking of form as they ever so gradually deflate and exit the finals in straight sets. 

A good night for some Shapes, a Shiraz, and maybe a late Monkey Shoulder (one of the best budget scotch's available) as the Bummers and Crows bore me to death.

It appears even Microsoft is now focused on manufacturing bricks.

I can’t imagine the crowdstrike outage will impact the game tonight.

Every week the MCG staff let anyone wander in and sit wherever, so it’ll just be business as usual.

Let’s hope they can fly back. Lingers will probably ride his bike back.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
