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?

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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Ā Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningĀ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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

      Itā€™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?
