You know that for me the Collywobbles is back and they have secures their 27 th Runner up  a record that will never be broken. However they lost another close one and that was made to happen when their banner ripped off the pole  well before the game.

No sympathy for them at all.   

As for WCE good luck to them take your cup back and celebrate it in WA we don't need you around us.

    Bit early RJ?

    Yep, called that one a bit early 'Jibroni'...

    Thank goodness they turned it around.

    Great effort by WC and a great coaching display by Simpson.

    His match ups were spot on as they were last week against us...

    No-one should ever lose like that. I felt for my Collingwood fans at the Harp today and gave them my condolences. 

    But it had to happen, I'm sorry.

    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.

    He's (Buckley) changed, he's grown a lot, the past 12 months.   Very very noticeably.

    Done a great job, in 2018.

    I thought Will Schofield was terrific for the Eagles. He saved some certain goals with his desperation and I just love McGlovern.

    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.

    Not debating that. My point was entirely around how we botched that trade. Don't give a [censored] about Howe leaving, stuff him, but we should be extracting better currency than the likes of Ben Kennedy for Howe.

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

    Not near as bad as that runner. That had an actual impact on the result.

    Great game, the best team won. A few chokers there in the last quarter but 44 blokes going toe-to-toe. 

    Dom Sheeds's goal. Just wow.

    A shocking game from the umps. Many head high contacts missed and a lot of dropping the ball/holding the ball interpreted as a ball up. Something has to be done about blocking in marking contests. A real blight on the game now. 

    And even though I admire Collingwood under Buckley (who I loathed as a player but respect as a coach) there remains a deep seated, unspoken satisfaction that Collingwood have lost another GF.

    What a beautiful thing - the filth nutted in the last moments.

    Melbourne must learn from that. The weagles were jumped and trailed by 5 goals yet fought their way back - that's what premiers do.

    BBO, we must grudgingly admit that Collingwood played well whilst thoroughly enjoying the style of their demise. That there was probably a block on Maynard that enabled Sheed to mark and goal, well that was poetic justice.

    Beautiful work by that umpire.

    Only reason I'm happy the Eagles won. 

    If Collingwood won we'd be hearing all about it from every bandwagon. The Eagles can celebrate as loud as they want in Perth. 

    Demonland, think of us Western Demon supporters, why can't all Eagle supporters stay in Victoria for the next 12 months?

    I had my office covered in Eagles crap this week. It time for others to suffer the Eagle victory.

    or put out a contract on him.

    Have just seen the footage of Buckley consoling the runner in the rooms.

     Had not realised it was Alex Woodward, the poor bloke who had done heaps of knees before and after being drafted by the Hawks. This would be worse by far.

    Feel for Pies but thrilled Howe didn’t win a flag. Or Eddie. 

    I have a lot of time for Buckley. I like him a hell of a lot more as a coach than I did a player.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
