Mathematically correct but I can't see us losing all five remaining games. In fact, I can't see us losig again! Although Top 4 is the next goal, securing a double-chance, Top 2 is the real goal so we get a double-chance AND a home qualifying final. I think we will achieve that goal in the next two to three weeks.

Exactly. It's technically still possible to miss, but it's really not going to happen.
I'd like to hope we don't lose another, but all 5 games are tough - even Hawthorn have found some form in recent weeks. I don't take any opposition lightly. Most teams lift for Collingwood games.

If we don't lose another game this year, we won't leave the G, exception the Brisbane game.
Almost never lose the G. It's a similar fortress for us as the Gabba is to Brisbane.

Markov needs to be in the 22, we need his run.

Incorrect! The best for anyone outside the current top 4 can do is finish on 60 points, 5 wins = 20 points. Pies on 64 points have already qualified for top 4.

Sad to hear Tom Browne has resigned from the AFL media as of end 2023 - not sure where I'll get my breaking news from in 2024 .

(Hypothetical)- If we could pick a team to win a Grand Final against for payback who would you pick? Lions or Geelong or another club that will finish in the 8.

Oh yeah! We're 6 games clear of 5th so that's locked. My maths was not up to par today!

I'd be ok with either but probably prefer to beat Brisbane this year. The Brisbane 02 loss really hurt on an extra level!

Yeah we “owe” the Lions. Though I’m hoping Cats end up 9th. Not on fear in finals but would love them to miss out finishing there.

If we get Melbourne first final and win I’m hoping we get an interstate team in the prelim.

Our VFLW girls play off against Port Melbourne on Sunday for the premiership.

At Port Melbourne.

Get around them!

It would have 1.) Carlton
2.) Geelong
3.) Brisbane
fourth would probably be Richmond I have never forgotten 80 yet but Carlton def 1 how can we ever forgive George Harris throwing our jumper in the bin. Elliott was an A------ but even he never threw our our jumper in the bin,simply unforgivable. They had some fantastic players in those years but the only 2 I would have like to play for us were Southby and Doull.

Roccella Italian restaurant review East Melbourne: Is it OK to put pineapple on pizza? If it’s smoky, yes

The version at this East Melbourne Italian restaurant is a sweet-salty-sour-smoky argument-stopper.

www.theage.com.au

Most of the big questions have been answered – onions go under the sausage, they’re called potato cakes not scallops, crinkle cut is the best chip – but there’s one debate that lingers. Is it OK to put pineapple on pizza? Francesco “Ciccio” Crifo at East Melbourne’s excellent Roccella has answered emphatically and creatively. Yes. Sort of.
He’s not a fan of pineapple on tomato-based pizza with any old ham and cheese. But the pizzaiolo is happy with his own elaborate version. Chunks of charred, smoke-infused pineapple are scattered over a slow-matured pizza base made with artisan wheat flour.
It’s cooked in a shimmering dome oven, then lovingly layered with shaved prosciutto, torn stracciatella cheese and a glaze made with balsamic vinegar and the sweet, smoky juice that seeps from roasted pineapple. It’s a sweet-salty-sour-smoky argument-stopper in eight delicious slices.
This wonderful pizza says a lot about Roccella: classic, but also creative, and very customer-centred. The restaurant opened two months before Melbourne’s first lockdown, forging a connection with the local community.
Proximity to the MCG and hospitals help with custom, as does the all-day offering and the handy grocery with house-baked bread, Italian wine, antipasto and take-home meals.
Drawing people is fine but you need to look after them. In this, Roccella excels. Diners have one job: enjoy. Crifo’s business partners include brothers Joe and Bruno Ceraso who take turns overseeing the dining room.
The Cerasos spent years in national roles at chain restaurant Schnitz and courted Crifo when he was slinging pizzas at Zero 95 in Doncaster East. The operational nous is evident: Roccella has the heart of an artisan business and the smarts and systems of a franchise.
Crifo grew up in his father’s restaurants in Italy and has been obsessed with pizza for two decades. He can talk passionately about the Napoletana and Florentine focaccia.
He runs pizza workshops and degustation nights and will happily run you through his four doughs: sourdough (48-hours risen so it forms a flavourful puffed crust), ancient grain (thin, crisp, delicious), charcoal (pointless but it looks cool) and gluten free (no extra charge).

You don’t even need to order pizza. Fried polenta fingers with four-cheese dipping sauce are a sturdy starter; house-made casarecce with mussels, barramundi, clams and a touch of tomato is a generous winner; and the spin on a chicken parma is made with quality bird, portioned in-house, and buffalo mozzarella.
Why not roll on with sfinci, Sicilian mini doughnuts? These sugar-dusted orbs don’t reinvent the wheel; they also prove it’s not necessary.

He seems to have the hardest punches I've seen since Tyson at his prime. I would hate cop one of those straight hits to the jaw. Pure power in a compact package. Love watching his fights

Devastating power and speed, I think Fulton was trying his best but was almost hopelessly over matched. I have been watching Inoue for while now and boy he is good.

It would be almost as bad as going up against Prince Nazeem in his prime. I envy the guys who go up against him because they usually end up getting really hurt. So much power

Until Barreras came along he was unbeatable,I loved watching those Morales v Barreras they were sensational.I just saw that Davis has said he will fight Inoue he might the only 1 with enough power to beat him.

Yeah, the poor Prince was almost done by that fight but Barreras was a beautiful boxer to watch. Him and Morales nearly killed each other in the ring. If he fights Davis, it will be one the great fights, hope it happens but I think the power of the Japanese boy will be too much. Some good boxing going on atm

Sidey's goal against Port or the one in the Prelim last year, which was better?

Carlton all day long

Carlton all day long

Interesting two responses now would be Carlton. Here’s me thinking they aren’t relevant anymore as in making a GF to beat them relevant. Though payback must run a very long line given the responses.

Im too young to be scarred by the GF losses, ive just got too many dickhead Carlton mates that are starting to get too chirpy

I am surprised that any carlton barracker more than 6 weeks old has any confidence in that team.

The media blowing copious amounts of smoke up their arse has led them to believe they are a decent side. Has anyone heard that they've won 5 in a row? Listen to the radio for 15 seconds and you'll hear about it. That ends tomorrow night
