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 

    Good question.

    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?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      ā€œMax Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.ā€ - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasnā€™t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus Oā€™Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, thereā€™s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demonsā€™ poor use of the football, itā€™s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbellā€™s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
