I've put $50 on us against my Pie mate. Winning has clearly gone to my head.

This makes me a feel a bit better about my foolishness. Massive out along with Swan. Shut down Daisy and we're talking business.

I thought Swan was close to coming back?

Would you risk him a week before the bye?

The Pies have bigger fish to fry, and coming back from a hammy is something that you wouldn't risk at this stage in the season. They didn't have him agaisnt us last year and we still got pumped!

Unlucky for Pendles, I'd be lying if I said I was disappointed (for this week that is!).

They won't bring back any of their injured players. They'll wait till after the bye and attack the second half of the year.

As a result, they'll have a sub-standard team in.

As a result, they only deserve to be favourites by a margin of about 50 points, instead of 75.

I know we just won, but Collingwood is the premiership favourite, and deservedly so, and they are not weak as the proverbial in the wet, so even if it rains, they aren't going to wilt like Essendon did. If we play our best, and we attack the ball, spread, run, and all that, it could easily be a contest, maybe for a half, maybe for three quarters. Obviously after this round anyone can win, but we really have as little a chance as can be.

Don't think they run one on Manangatang seconds billy

I bet you couldn't believe your eyes when the organisers put him up at $560,000 at the start of the year? That was until you realised that they would give you that in credit if you put him in your team!!!

He's out, but in comes Swan so they say, and more than likely Tarrant, but will Tarrant pull up well enough?Wwithout their two best mids and key defender the chances are raised slightly but as mentioned, wait for their mid tiers to destroy it, like Wellingham last year.

I reckon Mark Neeld has had half an eye on this game for a while...

Hopefully lightening will strike twice.

Just watch Wellingham, Sidebottom, and Beams stand up.

^This. But I hope not.

Wellingham had a day out last year, Beams is in form and Sidebottom is as slippery as they come these days; real quality.

Swan could be included, so we will have our work cut out regardless.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag
