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

Cameron's turning into a handy play maker.  Wouldn't mind seeing him in the Red & Blue.

Broooce... “Hodgey might’ve given you an elbow if you’d asked another question - he’s up for the fight isn’t he.”

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?

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
