NON-MFC: Round 06

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 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 .

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
