Saturday's result doesn't change my opinion of what will happen vs Collingwood. Nor does their win vs Bulldogs.

They are a much better team than we are, and they will thrash us, just as I suspected they would before Round 1.

    Collingwood will cream us. I don't miss to many games in Melbourne but I've decided to do something else next week, not sure what but I won't be going. I felt drained when I left yesterday.

    A week is a long time in footy terms. By Thursday, you'll be going.

    It scares me how good Collingwood are looking. I think Jolly may be the final piece in the puzzle which lets Fraser play as 2nd ruck. They should slaughter us if they are on their game. How is it that we ever lost Jolly??

    This time if we get two early chances against Collingwood, we have to put them away. It's amazing how different we look when we get on the board, we seem to just build in confidence and back ourselves. Maybe it's because we have such a young group but we must get off to at least a reasonable start or else we'll just be blown out of the water again and it'll be over by half time.

    Agree on all counts. They were going to thrash us before Saturday, and they are still going to thrash us now. The only time that opinion will change is after the match, when I'll be saying that they did thrash us.

    We lost Jolly because we couldn't see how past it White was. We continued to play him over Jolly, and so he continued to rack up the cheapies while two real ruckmen, Jolly and Jamar, were relegated to second and third in the pecking order.

    Prior to the centre circle White was AA. We lost Jolly because at the time we didn't need him. But don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant, since Saturday no one else has.

    Miller to Full Back. Cameron Bruce up forward.

    Man on Man keep faith in some players to learn.

    Bailey must put in a top day to regain respect of us and to some degree his players.

    I'm sorry. I thought the centre-circle was abandoned before then. If I'm wrong, then I let facts get in the way of a good rant (my first, unlike others). But it was not Melbourne who got rid of Jolly. Jolly wanted to leave and we couldn't stop him.

    After the center circle White was C*#.

    No contested marks nor tackles, just as Bruce, Yze & Green were doing back then under nD.

    My, how things have changed. Green has stepped up to leadership respected status putting his body on the line.

    White & Yze have retired.

    I changed my plans and can now make it to the first half of the game, so I'm in. I'll just keep rocking up as I've always done and have a good day at the footy with some mates. Currently my Collingwood mates hold sway but it wasn't that long ago Farmer kicked 9 in a half and it won't be that far away when the likes of Watts, Scully, Grimes and Blease are tearing the pies up. I'll say it again folks, suck it up, get to the match and support the team you know you'll barrack for for the rest of your life. There's simply not enough of us left not to.

    it was only a few years ago we convincingly beat the Pies in three successive QB clashes in front of 70,000+ crowds

    we were in the top 4 and they the bottom 4, now the wheel has turned, and in a few more years it will have turned again

    Exactly. And all of a sudden Bailey will be the messiah, But more to the point Bruce, McDonald, MacDonald, Dunn, Miller, Newton will all be retired.

    Why even mention Newton? He's not even in the team. It's almost as if you want to sick the boot into him.

    perhaps he means he will have been delisted and somebody with some ability with have his spot on the list

    Yeah, fine. But to blame him for our crapulence is unfair.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
