Solid win vs Freo.  Another must win next Saturday, and we are back on the MCG vs the Doggies.

The conditioning staff will have their most important week of the season, as recovery is paramount after playing in tropical conditions.

    makes sense except one plays back the other forward.

    Could the versatile Pederson get a game down back? ... Frankly I' think Bernie will return

    I didnt see him either. Hannan did well given the conditions.

    If Smith was surplus to our defensive needs this week then no point playing him next week, so I expect him to be dropped. Not sure who gets his spot, but I think a running player over a tall.

    18 players hit the scoreboard tonight. These four didn’t.

    Out: OMac, Jetta, J Smith. Frost

    I'm a Nibbler fan, but he has to go for mine.  In Bernie.

    Would love to drop Lewis and ANB but don’t see an obvious replacement.

    Melksham has to be looked at. Last 4 weeks dreadful.

    I thought Smith, Spargo and ANB were our least effective tonight. Lewis also did some

    Smith played most of the game forward so not sure there is a role for him. 

    Not sure there is anyone really demanding a promotion though.

    Since Queens Birthday our glaring weaknesses have been leg speed and defensive pressure.

    Frost ,Garlett and Smith are pretty quick.

    I thought Smith had a fair first half.

    VDB got 16 tackles in the reserves.

    Spargo goes alright but he has limitations.

    Lewis had another mistake riddled game.

    If Vince and Lewis aren't getting pushed out we are not moving forward.

    I assumed Smith in the forward line was in response to the way Fremantle occupied our forward line, rather than our idea per se. It wasn’t going to be OMac, Frost, Hibberd or Jetta, so he’s th logical next choice. I can’t think of any other reason for it because he definitely did not look a natural forward.

    ANB lucky to keep his spot, hes in his 2nd bad patch of form for the season after his slow start.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
