When you actually look at the ten matches the Pies have won, you quickly realise they're really nothing special.

Honestly I care who we beat when we win, the more games we win the better our opportunity to ensure a finals berth.  It also builds belief in the playing group and helps build consistent structures as you can control games and learn to continually enforce them.

A win is a win...

Uuggghhh the Collingwood media circle jerk this week will be unbearable 

I've decided I'm going to enjoy the commentary on Flagpies this week. It's still clear that Richmond are the best team, and- on our day if all goes really well- I believe we can beat them.

Dees- if we can just get to the bottom half of top four- we may be blessed with finals in Victoria.

Long way to go yet- 8 more home and away games. IT IS SO LOVELY TO BE EXPERIENCING SOME HOPE!!

GO DEES

Big % booster coming up for them :(

Well bee, IF and a big IF our guys put their minds to it and don't get ahead of themselves, we have a huge percentage opportunity over the next few weeks.

Damn shame we didn’t turn up against them. We still had our fair share of sceptics throughout our winning streak though. 

We beat no one because we made them look like no one. 

After Pies just beat Carlton it was “ More dangerous than Richmond”. After beating Suns “ Flagpies? Ready to overtake Richmond”. 

Hoping we get the last laugh over them.

A strange feeling today,  first time ever wanting the Bombers to win. And will be hoping they win next week too.

Stuff Essendon, I hope they lose by 100.

I don’t worry about how opposition games affect the MFC. As long as we keep winning, the rest will take care of itself.

We've tread on this banana peel before. Let's just win against St Kilda before the sky punching.

Self praise = faint praise and all that but I could see this debacle coming.

GWS just jumped 4 spots on the ladder (passing us, Geelong, North and Hawthorn).

Essendon and Adelaide in 11th and 12th are only one win out of the 8 (and only one win behind us). 

This is an incredibly even season and our losses to Geelong, Port and St Kilda will cost us our finals spot.

Player sizes with some winning Clubs at this time of the year are certainly noticeable, even with the old blokes. Ah well, good luck with that.

Great,  now we can go into another match thinking we've got it won before the bounce !

Watching Brisbane play it’s amazing what happens when u lower ur eyes when kicking in side 50. 

We r so stupid when we bomb it long but yet we keep doing it. 

Fmd.

Watching some of these bottom 4 teams just shows what happens when you bring intent!  We are still short on intent, killer mentality and effort.  Damn indictment on this group who can do much better.

Rioli announced retirement.  So early. Hawks will be in shock.

Just heard a little kid calling up and sobbing on radio, these are the things that get lost, while the media always looks for the negative stories, there's 1000's of good ones that get hidden away. Great career, super talent and thanks for the memories.

Cant blame him really,.  Hes done it all, 4 flags. He misses Darwin.

Why play a few more years and risk more injuries or concussion?

I think more players will start to retire early.

Massive blow for the Hawks, only 28!

A terrific player, obviously a solid family man too

not too many players play 25 games in their first season after getting drafted!

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
