So the new successful structure is 2 ruckmen and a tall forward line. 

And thank god. I hope this "real footy" thing takes off instead of pressure madness because I love the way West Coast play. They smacked us last week too, so to see them win takes the edge off a bit.

    The last 3 premierships have been won by a Clarkson protege.  The previous 3 by Clarkson himself. 

    Not only is Clarkson a master coach he is a master at training coaches.  Reckon he wore a wry smile on the siren.

    They had a shot McGuires face after the game. It was wonderful. After hearing him go on all week about the filth I was glad at the result.

    We're going to just have to break that run then ;)

    How's the Collingwood cheer squad feeling right now about that banner...

    Actually genuinely feel sorry for them with that, no bigger day that it could’ve gone wrong for them.

    Was always on the cards given the way they play. Still didn’t stop me paying out on eagles supporters during the first quarter. 

    The Eagles were tiring too, around that same time.

    They were 5 goals up. That's some Collywobbles...

    First quarter quick blitz, then it settled down. 

    Meth Coke were garbage in the first 20 minutes

    And now delisted. ?

    Probably one of the footy department's few missteps over the last few years. Still, the same draft they brilliantly traded up to secure Oliver before Parish, so these things work out in the end. 

    How do you figure that.  We got it right.

    We got the trade up to get Oliver right but Howe for Kennedy wrong. That’s what he’s saying.

    The Pies seem to have this history of getting great deals from us, can we please turn one back around on the them!

    Anyway for now the tears of the Collingwood players will do nicely!

    Deserved winners, were the team who held their form most consistently through the year. Makes getting some extra marking power over the off season a smart move for the Dees. 

    Yes, thought their overall marking power was the difference

    Really thought I'd be ambivalent today but soon as the pies got ahead my hatred for them kicked in.

    I really hoped they'd lose a close one and it all came true.

    That eagles team song is an abomination.

    Hope we get to sing a real song next year.

    Yes. That song is awful

    Hopefully those who doubt we need a Steven May will have seen Kennedy’s influence in the GF and understand why we need a true gorilla-minder in our back six.

    I know what hes saying... what I'm saying is, to change a culture out, to build a fresh one,,,  a club has to cut strings with many experienced players... to change things.

    I put Howe in that basket.  No slight on Howe...  but it was a plus for us, to show balls to start making hard decisions.  The club had to grow its own balls, instead of leaning on the MCG, and all that stuff.

     

    It had to again when we rid ourselves of the less committed types, who weren't goers... to the displeasure of many supporters.  But we did, and look at the new-way we attack the contests, in this 2018 year.

    ... it's a breath of fresh air in the lungs of a stuffy old Mfclub.

    Bucks is the only part of the Filth I like.

    He's a class act 'chook'...pity he has to coach Coliingwood.

    Taking the time to console the cheer squad members before the game is the measure of the man.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
