Does that make us the Rebels and Eddie Darth Vader?

Yes. Yes it does. 

And we all know it was the Ewoks who overcame the Stormtroopers in the end.

Official crowd: 94,959 at the MCG . Little disappointing when so many could not get a ticket. Take it the MCC didn't all turn up .

Saw a couple of photos from mates and MCC had ~3000 empty in the top deck

 

1. As they say, there can be only one loser in football.

2. Having said that, Richmond cheated by system, byes and fourteen days breaks are a penalty on the top team.

There was so much hype about it filling up and being a lock-out that I reckon a lot of people were scared off.

If we make it next week though...


Collingwood will be praying for a West Coast win tomorrow. 16 clubs will be praying for a Dees win.

Apparently according to MMM

I was listening to it on the radio and it’s what they said was happening. 

Collingwood have been very impressive. Cox scares me. I just can’t see how we stop him. He destroyed us last time we played them too. 

Expect that from MMM. 

You need  to pressure mids and effect delivery and then you actually need someone to go up with him. Neither happened tonight.

One game in the last 28 days. Interesting how flat they looked against a team coming off a six day break. 

Worse, they get 8 sleeps to recover before the GF.

I'll take your word for it, as an apparent expert Cox wrangler 

Nah, just the one between my legs. Sorry if you can't relate.

No Martin no Richmond.

Forget just current day. He’s one of the most overrated players of all time.

Are you guys serious? Rance is a great, he just had a bad night. 

Tell me you wouldn’t have him in our side.

Look out

If we're lucky enough to make it then a Coll v Melb GF will be chockers

Hate to say it, but I think I actually like Cox.

So, the old enemy awaits!  We just gotta get it done tomorrow!!

Tell them how it is done, Bazz.   Nev up to kick the winning goal deep into time on Q4?

I must say I did consider going (MCC) but couldn’t go early and didn’t relish the thought of standing all night.   Over hyped.

And the winner tomorrow only really gets 6 given the need to travel. Not well planned, Gill.

I’m no Collingwood fan but I have to say I loved that. The Richmond fawning all year has been spew worthy. Seeing them trudge off was the best thing ever.

Agree Nasher.

The pre-finals bye will be looked at, but Richmond's last month going into the finals wasn't great.

3 point win over Geelong, 8 point win over Essendon and a 3 point win over the Dogs (which they should have lost), around a thrashing of GC.

He's good, not great, and he had an appalling night. For someone of his ability, that wasn't good enough.

The result didn't surprise me tonight.

Despite denials by a few on here Collingwood are a good team and started to show it towards the end of last year.

The Tiges have had a good run without a true forward structure and it caught them out.

They're a good unit but if their champs don't fire they're in trouble.

Reiwoldt was the only one to fire a shot tonight, the house of cards crumbled.

There is a reason they went all out to get Lynch, it's the same reason we should keep Hogan.

As much a the game changes, tall forwards who kick goals are worth their weight in gold.

Always have been, always will be...

 

Great to see Storm into another GF....

He seems to have a lot of “bad nights” for a supposed great. Lost count of the number of times he gets exposed 1v1.

He’s a good player sure but the bloke isn’t fit to clean Scarlett’s boots. Annoys me when he gets placed in the same conversation.

I wrote on Demonland after the Bulldog match that the Tigers are beatable. That's why I would have preferred to play them should we win tomorrow. Collingwood are the smokey fairy tale story of 2018. The Dees have stolen the fairy tale so far and long may it continue but after tonight I rate Collingwood.

I reckon that's unfair.

We haven't played yet and we still have more wins against top 8 sides so far this season than Collingwood does.

They got into the finals on the back of a draw which gave them 14 games against the bottom 10.

Full credit to them for making a Grand Final with the injuries they've had, but going the "well I always said they were good" route is unfair when the criticism of them was completely warranted given their record.

  • 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?
