    Dislike the Pies severely and think they copped the bum draw after losing last week to the Dogs by more than 24... Probably has cost them as I also believe they will struggle to beat the Crows next week. The Crows are a bloody good team. Dark horse for the flag?

    I agree, Toot. It will be hilarious when Adelaide knock them out. How much did Didak, Davis and Shaw crumble today? Adelaide are a big chance for the flag.

    I thought through the year that the Pies weren't as good as they thought they were. They got to top 4 thanks to being extremely well-coached & well-drilled by Malthouse so that half the time they don't need to think where to kick it, but above all to an extremely favourable draw, without which they would have struggled to make the 8.

    They crumble under pressure (remember 2nd qtr QB against us?), and as soon as a decent team works out their game plan they have nothing left. They did OK not to get blown away by the Saints yesterday and by the Dogs in Rd 22, but both those sides had them well covered.

    I thought weeks ago that the Blues & Pies weren't good enough to win a final. Having said that, Adelaide might not be as invincible in Melbourne against a team that might pressure them a bit, but it would still be a surprise if the Pies beat them.

    Whilst I think Collingwood will beat Adelaide, it won't be easy, especially given that the Crows have 2 extra days rest in preparation. Plus their first final was physically less demanding than Collingwood's.

    Oh how I pray for Adelaide to beat them.

    the best bit is that after years and years of having a brilliant draw they get stooged by the afl and get a 6 day break to adelaides 8! i love it

    With their away record, they could probably claimed they've been stooged by the draw.

    Weren't stooged by the AFL, it was all their own work - what killed them was letting the Dogs get that last goal in Rd 22. That meant that they played the Saints instead of Geelong, they played on Sunday rather than Saturday, and they would play Adelaide rather than Brisbane or Carlton if they lost.

    Correct. Collingwood cannot cry foul about the draw (as unfair as it may seem, giving the 5th team 2 more days than the 4th team) when they had their fate in their own hands.

    I just hope it's a deciding factor in the result of the match.

    Carlton and Collingwood out in straight sets

    I,d like to see that :D

    Looks very likely, the Crows have looked invincible for the past 2 weeks cementing me firmly on their bandwagon. I love aggressive attacking footy and not the "get a comfortable lead, then play keepings off" crap. GO CROWS!!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
