I'm looking forward to watching a really good game of footy today and although Richmond have looked pretty good the last few weeks I'd be backing the Pies.

What do people think?

It wouldn't be a big game without a little quote from Eddie...

'For Richmond, it's their biggest game in 30 years. For Collingwood, it's round 4'.

What a [censored].

God almighty I hope the Tiges beat them after hearing that. What a clown comment. Edited by Guest

I feel like it's just the sort of game that Collingwood win.

Will be good to see some very good midfields go at it. A key could be keeping the oppostion's half back line accountable. To this end I think Collingwood has the advantage - with blokes like Blair, Sidebottom, Sinclair and Elliot roaming.

I hope Collingwood destroy them.

Nothing cheers me up like whinging tigers supporters.

Should be a cracker of a game and a huge crowd. The only bigger crowd this round will be for Dees v GWS - not!!!

Forward lines - pretty much even

Midfield - even, but Pies have much more big game maturity

Back lines - this is where the Pies will win he game. Tiges are still a bit suspect down back.

Pies by 15 points.

However, I hope they lose. The only thing better than Hird's face when Bombers lose is Eddie's beetroot explosions when the Pies lose.

Go Tigers. I can't stand Collingwood. My husband supports them and supposed to be there today. He is home with the "man flu" so I am being subjected to these awful commentators.

Such a mistake riddled game. Neither of these teams are looking all that flash in this half, although admittedly Pies have a few out.

Petterd having a bit of a mare. Bit of a squib and some shocking fumbles.

High-pressured game and Collingwood, somehow, hit the front having been largely controlled through the middle.

This is like a Queens Birthday match, insert Richmond in place of Melbourne. I.e. found out under pressure.

Love watching Richmond cop it to be honest.

Fell asleep at half time, woke up 25 into the third.

Me asleep - Pies by 49.

Me awake - Tigers by 27.

I'm very confused at the moment!

Good Nanna nap 45?? :)

They have a problem when the game is turning. Hardwick makes crucial mistakes and the senior players start playing for glory and forget about team or the modern day term structures.

Will be interesting to see if Hardwick learns enough in time or the Tiges will come up wanting. At the moment he is not a good match day coach, he's too reactive too late and doesn't seem to read the game.

I have a feeling that Neeldy left his MFC Remedial Playbook in the rooms after last week's game and Hardwick picked it up instead of his own at the Main Break.

He struggled manfully with the bizarre contents until the third quarter was almost over when the penny eventually dropped. By then of course it was way too late.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
