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.

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

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
