QB will not be easy. We will go in as Red Hot Favourites before the bounce. 

We all know how well we handle that burden. 

Over to you Goody. 

We absolutely will not go in as “red hot favourites”. If anything, we’ll be only slightly favoured over the Pies after their win today. But there will be a lot of heat on the game from all angles. Lose and finals will be very hard for either side.

More a matter of over to the on field leaders - they are out there, not Goodwin,  and they need to show their younger players that they mean business from the word go, and don't flag until the final siren.

Head Coach sets the tone...

The MFC will be Favourites for sure

Collingwood. Off a win. A game out of the 8. The hype will be real.

Well, he`s not wrong to be honest re lack of success, but yes this sort of comment will be banked by Goody.

Funnily enough, I`ve seen Dunn at 3 Dees games watching his mates this year, he still loves the Dees, probably more so than The PIes!

i think goldsack might be out too, he could barely use his arm in the last quarter

If that be the case and  he plays next week, our illustrious co captain Jack will fix it completely.

Elliott is sure to miss QB - he's re-injured the ankle that kept him out for some weeks. No Fasolo or White (injured). Cox useless, and Moore not much better. They'll be relying on Treloar and De Goey to boot multiples.

I didn't see the Freo game, but it sounds like their mid-field won the game for them.

Whilst  what he says isn't wrong, it is a strange comment for a guy who played with GWS for two seasons when they won a total of three games and for Collingwood when they  won 11, 10 and 9 games in the last three years. It applies as much to himself as Dunn. What's more it is hardly the case that Dunn is playing for a successful club this year, (so far).

That's why Westerners invented guns isn't it, to deal with recalcitrant shoe shiners...These days we bomb them. The trouble is, my friend Heimie would say, is that if you keep bombing them who's gonna shine your shoes?

Germans- it would give them some dignity.

This season is very even but appears to me to be full of a lot of good-to-average sides who, on any given day, can beat the better sides but can also produce poor football.

I'd have GWS, Adelaide, Port, Geelong and the Dogs as the top 5, Brisbane, Carlton and Hawthorn as the bottom 3, and everyone else is the 10 in between (I can still see a Sydney charge, although at 3-7 it may well be too late for them to do anything).

Richmond is much better than last year but have had hardly any injuries and have won some soft games (Brisbane, Carlton, us with two on the bench for a half, etc.). I think they're close to certainties to make the finals given their draw from here but I can't see them standing up in the finals against any of the above five teams.

Collingwood's three consecutive wins have been against two bottom 3 sides (Hawthorn and Brisbane, and in both games they struggled in periods) and Fremantle, the competition's biggest pretender in terms of ladder position (and got them without Sandilands which makes them significantly worse). Still, they won on the road and with 2 down on the bench which is something many teams would have struggled with.

I'm confident we are a better side than them, we match up well on them, and we should be fresh after the bye with them coming back from Perth having not had their bye yet. All of which screams "Melbourne should win" which generally means "Melbourne end up losing".

At the very least, the crowd should be large, which would be nice.

Dunn's winning percentage over his career is 27.65%.

Treloar's is 30%.

Big difference.

What a piece of s#@$, Oh wow that has surely lit the fuse. This would have to be pinned on the notice board at the club.

My tips in bold:

Thursday, June 1
Port Adelaide vs. Hawthorn (AO) (N)
Friday, June 2
Geelong Cats vs. Adelaide Crows (SS) (N)
Saturday, June 3
Gold Coast SUNS vs. West Coast Eagles (MS)
GWS GIANTS vs.
Essendon (SP) (T)
North Melbourne vs. Richmond (ES) (N)
Sunday, June 4
Fremantle vs. Collingwood (DS) (T)

Regardless of any outcomes, we have a long weekend in WA and I'll be wetting a few lines with my young bloke and enjoying the time not spent thinking about the Demons.

This bye round is therapeutic.

Holy shitbags! Talk about a diabolical round of tips!

Caught SFA fish as well.

Bring on QB (I can feel a sickie coming on already).

Collingwood are very beatable. They are poor in close at the contest where we are strong. 

Disagree with this Maldonboy. No Sandilands today saw Grundy and Griffen keeping it in close. Treloar, Adams, Pendles, Crisp and Sidebottom were all very good in close and were to good for Fyfe Neale Mundy and Blakely.

Had Sandi played would have been a lot different with the outside run of the Hill brothers.

We must break even at the clearances against the Pies

Sidebottom goes under the radar, but he is a great footballer who rarely makes a mistake and moreso, sets up Pies goals, if he doesn't just kick them himself.

Stop him and they are really hurt.

Tom Hawkins gets a week down from two for jumper punching Crouch. I guess Bartel had boxed himself into a corner with his comments last week.

    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
