No to be disrespectful to Georgiou but I think that is because most of the time he looks for the easy kick (sideways or backwards). Maybe he is trying to play it safe and keep his spot in the team.

Is that what you'd do, in his position?

    ...and maybe he's playing within his limitations. His kicking style is not good but the end result is effective.

    I want Vince to kick 3 and have 30 to really stick it up the crows.

    Bodes well for us vs. the Bulldogs if Carlton beat them.

    Think Carltank coming back like this will further infuriate Mick. Means that they were not switched on for 3quarters - at least I hope so. Want him to suffer as much as possible

    Love Jamie Elliott. How do Collingwood keep finding these gems without early draft picks??? Hate, hate, HATE THEM!

    And Grundy. That final goal was sensational. Grrrr.

    Agreed. All this rubbish from the commentators about Mick going into the rooms to spray them for finally showing up in the 4th quarter? Rubbish. Collingwood took their foot off the pedal.

    Those calling for Georgiou's head, here is his own assessment of his time on his opponents. Yes he is a liability at times with his kicking, but for a 6 gamer, he doesn't lose many contests:

    R1 - Rhys Stanley (St Kilda)

    “I reckon he kicked one. It was over the back though, I wasn’t really on him.”

    R2 - Dean Cox/Nic Naitanui (West Coast)

    “I was on Cox and Naitanui most of the game. Naitanui kicked one on me in the first quarter. Naitanui is ridiculously strong. He got me in a wrestling contest.”

    R3 - Jon Patton (GWS)

    “I was on Patton. His leading patterns were really good and he was throwing me around like a little kid. He kicked two that day.”

    R4 - Patrick Cripps/Andrejs Everitt (Carlton)

    “I was on the young fella Cripps mainly and also Everitt. Neither of those kicked goals on me. I was probably lucky that game.”

    R5 - Sam Day (Gold Coast)

    “I was on Day for most of the game. He kicked 1.2.”

    R6 - Lewis Roberts-Thomson (Sydney)

    “I was on Lewis Roberts-Thomson and he didn’t kick one on me.”

    The other interesting part of that interview was his statement that Roos and Nathan Basset are similar in their coaching styles. Hope he is on the radar as heir apparent.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
