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€. 

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 propter hoc!

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

    Good question.

    Yes. They mentioned it in the commentary at one point. 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'. 

    I think it may have been 1939.

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

    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.  

    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.  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, with the din of whinge and entitlement!

    Looking at the 100+ pages on the 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 to send him an envelope with 20 cents in it (remember Chris Grant)?

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

    I'm thinking 'Keep your feet with Jordan Lewis'

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, theyā€™re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this weekā€™s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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 ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“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.
