MFC RESPOSIBILITY TO HALT COLLINGWOOD SUPREMACY

The Panglossian
in Melbourne Demons

The worst possible scenario has transpired. A young Collingwood team has won the flag as the best side in the comp.

One always expects the side who's just won the flag to be strong the next year, but it's highly unusual to be a young side.

Who's going to stop them?

They're better than the Saints. They killed Geel WITH Ablett. None of the non-Vic sides look like being dominant soon.

Hawthorn could trouble them if Hodge and Franklin keep starring.

Melbourne's a young list . The Demons did better than anyone else against Coll. this year. (Oh yeah, I know, they relaxed against us!)

Perhaps it's up to us to stop them repeating their multiple premierships of the late 20's early 30's(Depression for more than one reason!).

    Can you hear that? It is the sound of the Demons rising!

    Collingwood are now the team to beat, hands down. The Aints and the Pussys are finished. Collingwood stand atop the mountain waiting for a challenger.

    A rising Demons outfit might not scare them now, but times are a changing, and we are on the rise!

    It's our historical mission. We are taking them down. Queen's Birthday showed we have the will and I think we all know we now have the skill. Melbourne is Collingwood's bogey. I reckon they already know it, too.

    But as I said earlier, we've got to win the lower profile games and make the finals. No point taking down the top dog if you can't play in September.

    The brilliant thing about any football season is anything can happen, and back to back flags are hard. If we make the finals this year a Melb Vs Coll match would be epic to say the least. If we can't stop them I'd be looking for St. Kilda to extract some revenge on them. The [censored] arn't finished yet IMO. Ablett is a huge loss, no doubt- but they have the team to negate hes departure.

    not saying the pies werent the best team in the comp. however. they scored a shitload of goals directly from opposition turnovers (as a result of an excellent defensive game plan). but i thought in both the big wins they had v the cats and saints neither team turned up to play, kept making skill errors and were then punished on the turnover. and these turnovers were almost all in collingwoods forward half.

    get rid of our skill errors (like the saints did in the 2nd half of game one), and lookout

    It took seven years for the baby bombers to win another flag...

    I agree, it looks a little ominous with the young age of their list. But there's no need to get too concerned yet, other teams have dominated the competition then fallen on their own sword. And the complexion of the competition will change over the next two years with GFC and GWS and new challengers will emerge...Lets hope they are of the Red and Blue variety B)

    Agree. When you get a kid like Steele Sidebottom putting in a performance like that - a big game player - anything can happen in a season of football. SO many factors including injuries to key players; luck playing a part, fixture.... sorry eddie ;)

    Starting to hear/read a bit of premature talk - "Collingwood and dynasty" about already given their list...just goes to show a week is a long time in footy...they did draw the week before. Things do change and other lists become stronger and more competitive and strategically manouevre their methodology to improve and sometimes conquer.

    yes let us not forget that Collingwood did not play finals in '91 after winning a flag.

    So the talk of Dynasty is a little early. But the average age of their list does make it an impressive if not hideous result. B)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
