Great win by the team tonight! Always beautiful to get a win over those pricks...

I may be wrong, but did anyone else notice Meg grab her right hammy just before she lost balance and then got cleaned up?

Great game girls especially Cat Phillips for two inspired goals! ?Also great to see Jolly score the last goal of the match (as the last pick in the national draft)! Loved Emma Humphries run and neither Paxman or O'Dea disappointed!

Our opposition isn't too crash hot though, hopefully they can improve and make a game of it in the 2nd half.

Oooh... I do love beating Collingwood :)

They did...

Thought I heard it mentioned in the commentary that we've got 6 or 8 of the team who are under 20. Is that right? If so, it explains their up-&-down form in both games so far. They played more as a team and combined much better in the second half & looked really good.

Yes according to the Pie supporters there were a few reasons they lost

  • Because of the Umpires
  • Because they weren't fit enough 
  • Because their ruck woman is tall but not very good but the most reported failing was....
  • They believed that Buckley went into the box after half time.

Strangely I think I respect Buckley more than the average Collingwood supporter does

Wonderful to hear the girls sing the Grand Old Flag after the game. May we hear it many more times this season

First half was terrible. The girls looked so confused in trying to structure up and were making terribly panicked decisions with the ball. 

2nd half I thought Hickey in to the midfield changed the game. She crashed in a won a few really nice clearances and then with Pearce, Paxman and O'Dea we had a midfield rotation that was dominating. It also signalled that they weren't afraid of losing the game to Mo Hope and had to go out and win it with the best players around the ball and getting it forward.

Cat Phillips is the female Isaac Smith. Just a power running machine. She's very raw and it won't always work for her but she can work a team over. Emma Humphries is impressive on a wing as well.

When Hickey was freed up the backline still had talent and belief. Clifford, Duryea, Downie, Smith (a gun), Patterson form a really strong unit down back.

The forward line is probably still the weak link. But Anderson looks a really classy forward who is only 19 and will get better. But they probably lack that 2nd tall option as well as a proper small goal kicker. Rocky probably comes in next game to see if she can add a combination of size and speed in the one player.

Looks like he altered his profile at halftime to delete: 'Member of Collingwood Football Club '

i hope someone taped what the coach said at 1/2 time and passes it on to goodie

Why pass it on to Goody? Our 2017 Men's team is never going to be that far behind, (particularly against Collingwood) and I suspect umpire #5 last night won't get a run in the "Little League"!

I don't know that we can attribute last week's performance to 'form'... those were pretty extreme weather conditions, so it was always going to be a bit of a lottery as to who would win.

Id attribute much of last week to instructions...or lack of.( Broke every rule of wet weather footy )

This week showed a bit more nouse...if a bit delayed. Got to get the right players in the right positions ( for the day )

Hopefully much was learned

There's no doubt in my mind that the Collingwood team we saw tonight is crying out for a coaching succession plan

But at Collingwood, changing coach is something you do when you're winning.

Won't be the last time we crush the Pies in 2017.

The one reason to hope Collingwood make the finals - the possibilitiy of beating them four times in a season.

The women's game has opened up a fun new kind of pre-season optimism!

Tuned in when scores were level at 25 points each. So I only witnessed total dominance. Looks like the girls found the line in the sand at half time. Any one notice Eddy's very red face in the crowd? Either a bad case of sunburn or choking in his own hubris.

Its nice that they give the work experience kiddies a go at umpiring (#5).  I hope he is properly coached on that completely inept and biased performance.

The joy at the The Grand Old Flag...  loved it.

And I select ads that say "Getting behind the team that are getting it right"....with a picture of Daisy.  Very Classy.  (Stay Classy, SanDiego).

Confirmed.  He also did the Doggies vs Freo in round 1.

I think it was largely a gameplan issue.  Have a look at how we played last night.  I'm thinking they tried to stick to their plan in the wet and it fell apart.  If they'd abandoned the plan and just played for territory then they would have given a much better account of themselves.

I've just checked the Champion Data scores in the Hun and I was amazed to see that Collingwood's highest scorer was their ruckman, King with 150 points.

She scored this with 2 effective disposals, 0 marks, 1 clearance 3 tackles and 13 effective tap-outs.

How on earth does that give her 150 points, 2nd highest of all players?

She's not the most skilled, but I love O'Dea's physicality.

She was the female version of Pedo, loved her attack on the footy and the opponent.

Overall, it was a super impressive team effort, they were being owned by the Pies in the first half. To not only run all over them but to hold them scoreless for the 2nd half was terrific.

    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

    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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
