Which knee jerker made that call ..... Vlad or Dill?

I agree it is a stupid idea.    Loses momentum not only for the teams but also for the supporters, especially the “neutral”ones.  

Yeah I hate it, no games just before finals..gives advantage to the lower teams to refresh for the next set of games.

 

Could we handle Cox? Frosty?

I reckon they are going to revisit the double bye (end of r23 and winner of qual final), it does seem to be an advantage playing every week of finals in recent history.

If Collingwood win, it'll be 2-3 (in favour of sides who play in the semi finals) in prelims since they brought the bye in.

Even if West Coast beat us, and it's 3-3, that's a 50% fail rate for top 4 sides who win their first final in the prelim since they brought the bye in.

From 2006-2015 only once side did it (Hawthorn in 2015).

De Goey off the rooms. Howe grabbing a hammy. Excellent news for us potentially. 

Don't jinx anything!

Is it just me or has Richmond looked really selfish in their front half tonight? 

Their constant mantra of trying to keep the ball in motion looks terrible when it doesn't work. Lots of players not wanting to put their head over the ball and get the contested ball and instead just tap it forward or kick it forward because usually that works, but it looks silly when those taps forward just go to Collingwood players.

 

Wasn't sold on Collingwood at all. Only one top 8 scalp all season and a very soft fixture care of finishing bottom 6.

Didn't think beating a [censored] house GWS proved their credentials but embarrassing the best team in the comp has shown they are the real deal. Sadly.

Mmmmm

We were 32 points up at three quarter time last week and the Hawks got within twelve

Can hear the fireworks for the storm win

Bring Bernie in, just to smack him at the opening bounce? 

 

Richmond getting that goal would've been huge. Almost game on if this was under 30 points.

I understand the theory behind it, I believe it was Freo that rested half a dozen star players the week before the finals. I think the better change would be to play all final round games at the same time ala Premier League in the UK. 

But it definitely looks like the bye now favours non top 4 teams.

Yeah, Frosty would do him I reckon. Very worried watching him tonight but yeah Frosty has the speed and power to push him.

Tiges are gone. Only started there A game of pressure after half time. Too little too late.

I was thinking the same thing. Cox didn't look as good that quarter, with the pies disposal dropping off a bit. Team effort I think, Frosty with Max filling the hole. Cox has shown a bit of forward craft this game which is annoying.

As I  said....pathetic knee jerk reaction.

After all, Lyons “shrewd tactic”backfired on him  

 


Any news on De Goey? 

Seeing the filth go through to a grand final is disgusting. It starts tmrw demons. Beat wet coke and then the filth. How wonderful that would be.

Yep Meth Coast versus Filth.
Might pull my toenails out instead

Why somewhere as “civilized “ as Texas.  Why not Baghdad or Kabul or Aleppo?

  • 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?
