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.

    Who has the last laugh? Kennedy or Judd?

    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

    Can someone please do this and screenshot it here? Thanks in advance. Hilarie.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
