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?

    On a train heading to the MCG, somehow making it in earlier than customary and can hopefully squeeze a pint or two in at the Corner Hotel.

    My expectations are low, hate losing to the filth but will still show up for this one on the off chance ...[nervous tics commencing 😁] ...

    Carn the Blues!

    Carlton will win. Bookmark this post.

    Doubt it, but either way will be entertaining, as long as there is major injuries involved to both sides

    I agree DL. For some reason it just seems like Carlton will win

    Can't see their season being over at round 4

    My point is the draw for home games, GWS, GC , Essendon gather round, Freo a gate receipt paradise

    The blues are not hanging around waiting for someone in a better position. They are just playing on and keeping the ball going.

    Might run the old blokes off their legs. Might not as well

    Definition of conflicted: Barrack for Pies so that Bkues go 0-4 and keep some of the spotlight of the Dees or Blues, coz it’s Collingwood.

    You can tag but I’m pretty sure you can’t [censored] someone’s run at the ball. That’s what Pendlebury appears to be doing

    Winners are grinners DS.

    A 27% winning rate in the last 18 matches will do that to a club with a FIXture arrangement (hint...it's not a Draw)

    Poor spectacle

    Dark navy versus black and white.

    How about we add white shorts to the navy blue?

    Why do they have away jumpers??

    That’s what we deserve

    Do you want 80,000 to watch the current MFC standard?

    Why are we forced to wear a clash guernsey but these teams don’t have to?

    You can’t tell the difference between Carlton and Collingwood jumpers?

    Carlton are the away side, wearing white trunks…

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
