Canā€™t be serious, why would anyone think thatā€™s a fair reaction. They do it for the love of the club, so much for ā€œside by sideā€.Ā 

only god knows why any human being who is not a complete moron would willingly join the collingwood cheer squad and those that do are obviously completely incapable of loving anything worthy of love

    Some people are stupid enough to believe the banner disintegrating jinxed the Filth and resulted in the loss. Post hoc ergo propterĀ hoc!

    Just wondering . . . does anyone know if a team has ever kicked the first five goals in a granny and lost the game?Ā

    Yes. They mentioned it in the commentary at one point.Ā The commentary said something like 'Collingwood have only once before kicked the first five goals in a GF. And it didn't end well that time'.Ā 

    I think it may have been 1939.

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

    Indeed

    Grundy was double teamed and lost

    Meth coast has 3 big guys down back barass schofield and mcgovern

    And 3 big guys upfwd with vardy there

    Everything old is new again

    Richmond who pioneered the one tall fwd is now adding lynch

    So two rucks can work

    I wanted like anything for Collingwood to lose but the way it happened I wouldn't wish on any big footy fan. I'm really sensing a 'be careful what you wish for' situation here because I could not have gone through that if it was us. I hope we're never in that situation where we get pipped at the post.

    The lack of respect for defenders is getting ridiculous in footy.Ā Ā 

    in the norm smith voting McGovern only polled one vote and Schofield didn't poll any. Both of them were instrumental in the win

    not saying Shuey doesn't deserve it but I'd like stats/touches to be less involved in voting across the awards

    Great game Ben E. Alas, daughter has opened it already and any chance to repackage into several gifts (who doesn't want a hand warmer for Christmas) has evaporated. Bloke walking to Richmond Station ahead of me had five. That's a family worth of presents.Ā  Hope you enjoyed the Eagle Rock tune that you also experienced in WA.

    Interested in your Hogan thoughts in the Draft/Trade Cheeseboard forum. RTG

    RTG, Iā€™m having PTSD episodes even thinking about Eagle Rock and the cauldron of blue and gold, Optus Stadium,Ā withĀ the din of whinge and entitlement!

    Looking at the 100+Ā pages on theĀ Draft/Trade Cheeseboard, I donā€™t have much to add about Jesse. I and the girls would love him to stay - should I get one of my daughters toĀ send him an envelope with 20 centsĀ in it (rememberĀ Chris Grant)?

    I am interested to know - if he goes -Ā whatā€™s going to replace the quarter time entertainment of Hoganā€™s Heroes and, more recently,Ā Hoganā€™s High Ball.Ā Mayā€™s Haymakers orĀ Kolodjashnijā€™s Ukrainian Tongue Twisters?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the clubā€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubā€™s perspective, and the teamā€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonā€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed ā€” roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.Ā  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
