This game is win-win but also lose-lose.

Win-win: an Essendon loss rules them out of finals (the chance of them winning all three of Hawthorn, Richmond and Port (away) is too low IMO), a Sydney loss keeps them sliding and another option for a team to fall below us in the run home (and, if we want to dream a bit, keeps the top 4 door a bit ajar).

Lose-lose: an Essendon win draws them level with us on wins if we lose (we were at one stage 3 games in front of them on the ladder), a Sydney win rights their ship and makes the chance of them dropping out a bit less likely.

Collingwood can't seem to take a trick with their injuries. 

Will shed a tear when our injury list mirrors Richmond last year.  

 

Zac Jones reported at the start - the ‘victim’ deserves an Oscar and a one week suspension.  There were a few gentle jabs to the neck /jaw, certainly far less that Carlisle on Hogan, then after a delay jerked back.  

Though seriously why the hell do players carry on with this crap at the start, or any time for that matter.  Right in front of the bald maggot. 


A reminder that we're not the only club who gets bad umpiring decisions.

That non-call of holding the ball on Zak Jones was absolute garbage. I'd be livid if I were an Essendon supporter.

Also a reminder that the free kick count at the end of the day doesn't always show unfairness or bias as it doesn't show the missed calls.

It was an absolute shocker.  One of the worst I've seen this year.

Bomber fans can't complain too much outside of that.  They're leading the free kick count 8-3 at the moment.

Quiet possibly the worst quarter of umpiring this year... what a joke


The Essendon crowd are absolutely feral.

It's in their DNA Jane. 


Swans look terrible at the moment.  So slow with their ball movement and they have nothing up forward.  Their backline is keeping them in it.

Another Friday night classic, putrid umpiring and low scoring scrap. Gil and co at the ground must be happy of the mess they’ve created

Looks like Wooshas chat with umpires has paid off. Perhaps we should do similar

MFC are far too gentlemanly or maybe weak to do that.

Worked for the Cats last week  and tonight for Bummers

Every time the cameras turn to him I nearly puke. 

Killer of the game we knew and loved.

How about Gill and Steve focus on improving umpiring as a key change to the game for next year

Perhaps they can trial it in the last few rounds of this year!!

That would be far too radical change or adjustment for the AFL to consider.

A bit dirty from Smith with the trip. Not on.

 

Devon Smith just did a classic Fletcher foot out trip - ignored by the maggots.   Will Christian have a look especially after this weeks broken leg ( only worthy of three weeks though)?.  Probably not especially were the Bummers to win and remain in the race. HQ wouldn’t allow that, though of course Christian is independent isn’t he ?????

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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?
