The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season.

Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year.

Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit.

That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for.

Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints.

Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

There's a whole host of interesting games coming up this week

And I must say that I'm back to really enjoying the footy with all the fast & furious offense at play ... and the open forward lines

Far less congestion although there's still a number of stoppages (but less around the ground and more centre bounces?)

Takes us back to the '80's & 90's

If we could only fast-forward to having a productive offense ourselves!! (will happen, but when? haha)

However, defensive tactics will come back into vogue sooner or later!

The big race is on in Saudi Arabia

3am Melbourne time Monday ... impossible viewing time but it should be easy to maintain a media blackout and enjoy it over breakfast.

Oscar's only 3 points behind Norris so it's another big one for our home town lad

if he wins the chip this year i wouldnt even care if we didnt win a game this year would make up for it easily

Formula 1 is as interesting as watching paint dry. Dull as ditchwater.


'What are the best results for the Demons?'

...i.e., that keep us somehow remotely in touch.

It's come to that, hasn't it 🥺

If we can’t win our own games it doesn’t matter what other teams do.

If we cannot score, our defence matters little, other results even less.

For us to win, We need to score more often .

Story of my life in 6 words.

 

Oh, I hate Collingwood.

There was a brief period where I only hated the fans and club, but had a certain level of acceptance for the players overall, even if a couple were annoying.

But that's gone. I gave them a chance. I set aside my prejudices and then saw them with clear eyes, and what I saw was foulness and dishonour.

I bestow curses upon them. May they malinger and rot, may their every effort fall limp, may they be notable only in moments of shame, may every fleeting appearance of success be whisked away in the wind and their every moment of sweetness turn to ash in their mouth.

In short, may they become St Kilda.

Tip: Brisbane to win.

Haven’t seen Brissy this year, let’s see what this Ashcroft kid is up too

I gave up on F1 back in the 2000s after years without seeing a car pass another car on the track.

From what I've seen... the younger isn't as instantly potent as the elder, and much less a contested type, but has had a couple of games already where he has really shown up in moving the ball aggressively and effectively.

They look identical, haha

Umps sure do love the Filth

The demons are now way anywhere near the quality of these two teams we deserve our lowly position on the ladder blame game plan coach recruiting and over paid past it players

Do you recall the original ‘Wired World of Sports’ ?

After a crash: “…and at last something is happening. These bloody cars have just been going round and round and round…”

Just remembered I haven't heard BT or JB call a game this year. So good.

  • 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.

    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?
