Was it 15 clearances at half time?  Surely Fagen needs to put a run with on Treloar??

    Did Captain Snooze give the Lions their half-time speech? Boring...

    Pies forward line is so dangerous. It makes me jealous how well they time their leads into space, always manage to find space and overlap. They don’t lead into each other’s path or fly for the same balls as often as other teams forwards. Even battlers like Mihocek manage to be productive. 

    Movie forwardline coaches need to study this and make changes!

    I love how Collingwood’s forwards don’t lead to the ball carrier too early, they time their run which creates space to lead into.

    Very good point CB.  No doubt well coached and drilled in this area.

    Amazing how sniper Mathews always somehow sees the opposite to what is an obvious action from a player resulting in a free against.

    Shouldve gone to Specsavers

    10 extra meters to play with yet teams go into their shell from the square.  Going short and allowing the opp to retain the ball inside their 50 when they could kick it almost to mid field position towards the boundary for a stoppage (worst case scenario in most cases). 

    Instead Brissy went short there...twice.  Turrned it over...twice.  Got away with the first one...2nd resulted in a goal.

    They also have great disposal and a fantastic mid field.

    Is it my imagination or has Martin done reasonably well against Grundy?

    He has but for those wondering why McInnerney wasn't picked up.

    Just check out when Martin took a fairly long break forward in the 3rd (I think it was).

    The big O couldn't get near it and Grundy took him to the cleaners...

    Grundy is a very good player but Oscar is a long way off the pace.

    Round 23 2017 - the day the Collingwood footy club went past the MFC.

    What, because they beat Brisbane? A side which hasn't made the finals since 2009?

  • Quote

    nah, pies have been long past us for a long, long time - we used to be the two biggest clubs in the competition by a big, big stretch

    same number of flags since 58 (three apiece) but umpteen dozen gf appearances for them and continued strength as a club over an extended period of time whilst we have floundered on and off the field

    but if yr talking recent times, they only went past us on-field on prelim final day last year - they won, we didn't

    they are currently playing a great brand of footy tho, whereas we need to improve significantly to match last year's results

    The BEST thing about this game was that they managed to take up three DH's on the one plane to umpire this game. Thereby ensuring that we will not get them in our game this week. They were deplorable Two terrible decisions in the first qtr. One hit the post obviously and another went over the line, called a goal and yet was touched beforehand. Brisbane were crucified.

    Don't speak too soon. Razor Ray is booked in for Saturday. But David Rodan is one of the goal umpires. Hope Melbourne gives him plenty to smile about. Love his reaction when Melbourne kicks a goal.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
