The G has not been our friend this year. :P

 

Last Time we were at the G, we won…and that was with Frost, Spargo, Garlett, and Hannan in the side.

That's a much more Richmond-esque amount of pace and it really helped us. As long as we select properly, the MCG won't be a negative for us any longer IMO.

    I don't mind Sunday.  We can manipulate a loss if it suits us.

    Cue the tanking investigation if we did, especially if we went on to win the premiership.

    I could see the AFL taking a flag off us for such a move.

    Hahahah and they still manage to give Carlton a night game (Saturday). Unbeleivable!

    PS Very happy with our Sunday PM times slot just FYI.

    Carlton game should be under the darkness at MARS stadium

    That would be a fantastic result because losing round 23 matches is definitely a strength of ours...

    Happy with the timeslot, scared about the possible Sunday night heartbreak. Makes Monday that little bit harder.

    4pm sunday game seems totally out of character? It's always been etihad 1pm, 3:20 sunday game no? I think the AFL [censored] are giving a team one last crack at us if we somehow are hinging on the result.

    In that scenario, all you have to do is drink a skinfull of alcohol Sunday night and call in sick on Monday.

    I'm dreading that St Kilda v North game. Hopefully we have it stitched up by then. If we have to rely on St Kilda to beat or keep North's percentage down then St. Kilda would have screwed us twice in one year. *

    * Yeah I know it will have been self inflicted but I have to blame someone.

    At the beginning of the season we had  a game plan with three talls, which works really well at the docklands, it does not work well at the MCG. You need totally different game plans at both grounds, Jennings is paid good money how he  and the coaches can't work this out is beyond me.

    It makes no sense for Carlton-Adelaide to play any time other than Sunday. Neither is finals bound so recovery time is irrelevant.

    And we end up with a crowd-killing mid-afternoon Sunday time slot just to limit our take at the gate one more time.

    Melbourne-GWS makes at least as much sense as Port-Essendon for Friday in a football sense. The Bummers could well be grounded by then.

    Recovery time from the Perth trip is more important to us, than before a final, if we make it, as there is a bye before the first round of the finals, so Saturday game or Sunday game in the last round is irrelevant with regards to finals

    Good idea but it would be nice to keep a few sick day bullets In the chamber for September ?

    If we are finals bound on that Sunday against GW$, there will be a decent crowd at the ‘G

    Late Sunday is perfect for us

    Yeah...I had the brain in neutral there. Forgot about the bye.

    • 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?
