Treloar and Varcoe couldn’t get back on the ground at the end. Teams need a coach on the bench directly players to come off. Players not looking over at the end

    Degoey cost them the game all he had to do was turn and kick a goal, not sure what he was thinking 

    What happened, I didn't see that part of the game

    Roaming Bwyan is more pathetic this year than in 2018. 

    Almost as pathetic as trying to justify assault at a game of footy.

    Well...Matty Lloyd's greatest midfield looked very average tonight.

    To be honest he had to be taking the [censored] with that call.

    Voss, Black, Lappin/Akker/Power/Hart

    Cousins, Kerr, Judd

    What drugs is he on??? makes the case for Swany's call to drug test the media.

    velvet sledgehammer has always been dumb as a velvet-lined box of hammers

    that brisbane midfield six you highlighted - voss, black, lappin, akermanis, power, hart - is better than anything i've ever seen, particularly when clark keating creaked out of his april-august coma just in time for september

    next best group of six would probably be port's around the same time - primus feeding francou, roger james, kornes, josh carr, byron pickett coming from outta nowhere to knock blokes out with hip-and-shoulders, and nick stevens before he went to carlton cos they refused to trade him to the filth...and this doesn't even count the two burgoynes they had running around at the same time

    really hoping our current crop - max giving silver service to oliver, brayshaw, harmes, viney, jones, petracca and salem - can be our golden age of mids

    Not sure what to read into this.

    Is Geelong better than people thought?

    Is Collingwood worse than people thought?

    If I had to pick one, I'd pick the latter.

    Let's see how they go this year with a tougher draw. They had a breezy fixture last season that was frankly ridiculous.

    As for Treloar, he's still an absolute butcher by foot and I reckon he showed a distinctly soft side tonight. I hope our boys were watching that and get into him when we come up against them.

    Well said and as much as I dislike them the Eagles midfield of the mid noughties was something special to watch and probably third in line

    Cox(better than Primus and Keating and far more mobile) Cousins, Judd, Kerr, Embley, Banfield Braun and Fletcher

    Good to see the wobbles are here to stay. Won't win the premiership with the average midfield and small forward line they have. De Goey has to be the most overrated player in the comp.

    Jones, Harmes, Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Brayshaw. It's better than the pies. Treloar is Mr.Invisible, Beams has past it and Pendlebury is finished, I see a slide going on for the Pies fingers crossed.

    Moon.  I am surprised that you are not too embarrassed to admit watching him.

    Not a popular viewpoint but I felt a touch of sadness for the pies last night.

    They fought the good fight. Nice cameo from Jeremy Howe. His game ending score assist was a lovely moment for many a dees fan.

    Glad that Collingwood got their season off to the right sort of start.  Goes well with the below good article from The Duck, which I actually think has some relivance to our season as well (though not as much so according to the man himself):

    Gotta love Ablett playing forward. No longer does the mercurial and exerts zero pressure.

    Gotta be his last year

    I thought Ablett was fantastic last night. Petracca could learn a few things from him!!

    Club culture.

    Look who’s left in recent years and they’re still going.

    At least this Adelaide performance is making me feel a little better. 

    Fair to say it’s a good day to be a Port fan.

    Good to see the current AFL ladder showing Collingwood and Carlton in the bottom two. 

    Not for long ???

    4 games 2 knee reconstructions.....maybe we got lucky. In an uncanny twist, (pun intentional) the Adelaide player Tom Doedee was the one they used to replace Lever.

    Now, what were those Crows fans saying last year........

    All.the favourites struggled this weekend. Tigers just held the Blues at bay, while us, the Pies and Adelaide all lost very winnable games.

    • 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 ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 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.
