Tide's turning. Seven minutes into the game and the Doggies haven't had a free kick yet. Trail Pies 0 - 1 on the free count.

    The Pies are playing like a big budget movie that goes nowhere at the minute - getting plenty of the footy but it's been for nothing so far.  Dogs far cleaner and more clinical.

    Never thought I'd be delighted in seeing Cloke kick a goal.

    Those Collingwood supporters were quick to shut up!

    Gee imagine how nervous Cloke would have been feeling when going for that shot on goal with the pies fans booing him. He would have been thinking please do not miss. Glad he nailed it. The pies fans would have been thinking why couldn't you do that fore us. Loved how they went to Joffa and he just sat down. 

    Come on dogs keep it going.

    It is amazing how Watts has copped so much and this guy nothing.

    Played one good game, in the biggest game of course.

    Dogs are so much more likable premiers to admire than hawthorn.... class just getting the job done now

    Pies now run out of puff , the intensity only lasted 1 1/2 quarters , that's what separates ordinary sides from the top 4

    You would have to be mad not to play a sweeping small/mid size stay at home back against the Dogs ... the easy run ins they have had on the rebound and the lack of a good forward line on Collingwood's part are the difference.

    Let's hope our older players can give us the service that Pendlebury gives Collingwood.

    When you stand up in the big game and virtually get your team across the line for a premiership win which he did no one will bag you.

    Jeez Darcy Moore has really strugged tonight without that big bodied forward next to him. Just the 5 disposal so far.

    Pies worked hard but their skills...

    That's the big difference between the good sides and the also-rans - the likes of the Dogs and Hawks and Swans and GW$ on the whole simply don't waste it.

    I really want to see us moving the ball with skill tomorrow, because I think like the Dogs and Pies we'll be up for the contest.

    Its always a great way to start a football season with a pie loss.   Go Bullies, well for most of the year    Go Dees  Tomorrow will tell its own storey  wish I knew whether we won almost as much as the tattslotto numbers..  Hope the pub has it on and the beer is cold.    26 points to the saints is my guess..

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
