Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position.

Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season.

Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further.

Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum.

The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack.

Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year.

The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder.

The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp.

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

Unfortunately a Magpie win is in our interest assuming we win.

A few 50/50 games from our perspective in Ess v Sydney and Saints v Blues. The same could be said for suns v Dogs and the SA derby.

This weekend could shake up the ladder in several ways.

Need to remember that Essendon and the Suns have played one game less.

if Freo cannot beat the Pies tonight, then they are absolutely wasting a primed list.

As i have no vested interest in that team, it is clear that their tactics, particularly ball movement are just not right.

Hayden Young is a big loss for them, but i also rate Jordan Clark off HB, he is quick and makes good decisions.

 

The only one I'm tipping with any confidence is Brisbane. We will have to play our very best to knock off the club I hate the most, all the others are a toss of the coin.


This is freos best chance tonight. But even if they win people will say it's because Collingwood rested those players. But hoping freo win.

Hopefully sydney bring that same form they had to beat gws last week & knock off essendon.

Port & Adelaide will be interesting

 

Freo will win tonight. Pies have been up for weeks, are away and resting senior players

And Freo just have to win. Brayshaw won't have another poor game

I don't care about what is good for us finals wise, as it's round 9 and we just need to bank wins

73% against us seems a little too skewed towards Hawks. Id still have them favorites but those odds feel a little OTP.

tipping:

  • flagmantle?

  • aints?

  • them?

  • bloods

  • gc17?

  • crom?

  • tigs?

  • puddy tatts?

  • bears

there's some what would seem to be cracking games scheduled this week

a win would be huge for us, but we definitely need all those teams around us to lose too:

  • filth

  • either / or

  • us

  • either / or

  • either / or

  • crom

  • tigs

  • either / or

  • bears

My tip about the freo pies game - freo wil look a completely different team to the one last week that looked like they had led in their boots such was their appalling defensive running

Why? They are set for this game, and will have planned their program accordingly months ago. Part of that planning is a calculated gamble of a performance like last week.

And of course pies are coming off a five day break.

Another tip.

In the wash up analysis this won't be mentioned at all. It will all be freo came to play, mouthguards at training did the trick, look how much better their defensive spread and running was compared to last week, blah, blah, blah.

All symptoms, no diagnosis.

Final tip - the 2.15 for freo is overs as is even money for more than 163 tmp. Don't mind the 8.50 for fro mote than 39 either.

Josh Tracey . Pick 7 rookie draft. What a gem.

Really should have worked him into the Jackson trade a couple years ago. Perhaps we tried and were rebuffed. Think@Redleg was calling for it at the time.

He’s a vic boy.. maybe wants to come home?

Hopefully we are secretly offering a huge sum of money at him. Esp if Pickett wants to leave.

Last 5 minutes, Freo doing everything possible to lose the game. Some horrific turnovers leading to absolute freebie goals to the Pies.

  • 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.

    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.
