I reckon we are a chance next week. Our midfield is faster there is no Gehrig this time to carve us up and we are slowly beginning to play good football. If we can hold kosi and roo we should be alright. If we play with the intensity we played with yesterday we will do well. The only thng is its a TD. Our record there isn't great.

    Too right we can beat them, but more importantly, we MUST show the same attack on the ball and the man that we did yesterday. We were so much harder than Tassie yesterday, and simply must carry it into the match against the "Soft" Saints. (Like Lyon's comment won't be firing his boys up, so we'll NEED to be as tough)

    This is how you gain respect in the AFL community, and it's imperative we are consistently hard at the ball

    Of course we can. St Kilda are not the most physical or aggressive side, so if we start against them like we started yesterday we're in with a chance. Hopefully Garland puts in another awesome effort on Riewoldt, and someone knocks out Milne. The fact its at TD doesn't help though.

    According to the realfooty website:

    Jared Rivers (Melbourne) hip

    Colin Sylvia (Melbourne) hamstring

    Nathan Carroll (Melbourne) hamstring

    these are possible ins for this week.

    Same theme coming thru on this thread - IF WE PLAY LIKE WE DID AGAINST TASSIE. This is the issue!!! If we do, we will win.

    Lets just hope that Sundays intensity wasnt JUST for Neita !!!!

    Pretty sure sylvia played for Sandy and i read somewhere that rivers said at an after match function he will play this week. Yze and CJ must be big chances also after a few good weeks at sandy.

    Possible outs: Frawley, Valenti, Bell?, Bartram?...

    whats happening with Juice? If robbo is out and Hollands shoulder looked a bit iffy, we need some type of forward target?

    Absolutely. Just need to continue the intensity and passion.

    And I think I'd rather Gehrig there, just now :)

    we should beat them - if we perform at the same level as against the gunn's timber hawks, we will win going away and put pressure on lyon and his team of underperforming hacks!!

    do we want to win though? i know, i know - very negative talk but with the blues and tigers both going to win more than 5 games or they should, it would leave the team that finishes last with the number 1 draft pick....

    If Robbo and Holland can come up I think we will be a big chance but if not I can't see how we are going to kick a big enough score.

    We can easily beat them

    Sti.Kilda are woeful!

    Slower than hell, a very poorly coached outfit.

    Demons by 5 goals.

    Bate, Sylvia and Miller should be the main forward targets if Robbo and Holland dont come up.

    i thought holland was alright, cos he went down in to the rooms to check his shoulder and a few minutes later was on the field playing...

    Would definitely like to see Sylvia back in. Maybe even Dunn?

    Newton, it seems, has fallen into oblivion.

    Sure we can Beat St.kilda. Same intensity is a must. I would put robbo in doubt,but Ben Holland could hopefully play with a little jab before the game. I Hate Telstra Dome but i Might go in as the boys deserve it.

    Put Green in the goal square, leading out. I don't rate the St's backline; their mid-field and forwards are the risk to us.

    Anyway, one off, Green would kick a bag.

    what the hell is wrong wit you mate! u have a cry in the other thread about jones and moloney knocking off buddy now u laugh coz all of a sudden sylvia is back in the mix in some supporters eyes?

    We are a chance, but I'm not convinced we can play 2 weeks of good footy in a row yet.

    Plus our form in the "Silver top taxi" strips (which I think we'll be wearing this week) have been abysmal so far.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
