"... The Roos spearhead limped off with help from trainers after he landed awkwardly after being tackled by Cats defender Mark Blicavs.

Brown had his left knee heavily strapped and despite initial reports he would play on he has been ruled out of the remainder of the match. ..."

    it looked pretty bad for sideshow bob

    he's having a rotten contract year, clearly not an mfc player

    Christian Petracca and a couple of first round draft picks should change that...

    Syd and the filth is even worse than what I saw last night. Adelaide play the filth next so maybe that might be their sole win for the year.

    There are some trash teams this year, and thankfully we haven’t played many of them yet

    I haven't seen a second of the game, but the stats show Collingwood is +68 in disposals, +8 free kicks, +22 in CPs, +8 in clearances and +24 in inside 50s, for a three point lead.

    Sydney's had 15 inside 50s for 5.1.

    Are the Pies trying to model themselves on us?

    Game on. What happened to Treloar?

    The umpiring this year has been absolutely terrible. Holding the ball doesn’t exist and infringements are just ignored one after the other,  until a soft free is paid resulting in a goal to the more popular team. You could be forgiven for thinking they are actually cheating.

    Not just Treloar, but Quaynor and Will Hoskin-Elliott were both off injured as well.  Quaynor looks like a break in the lower leg, Hoskin-Elliot was a leg injury (knee?) and missed Treloar's, so no idea what happened to him.

    Done something to his hammy, they are going to have a very weak side against us. 

    Like they did a couple of years ago and belted us, to stop us making the finals.

    Watched the second half with my magnificent spouse.

    Me:  "Ugh, so many of these Collingwood players look like little [blank]s."

    Her:  "Oh, don't be so harsh, they're not Hawthorn."

    She also lip-synced Buckley talking to the 3/4 time huddle, including "You're not Coles, you're not Woolies."  Her theory being that the Collingwood players had those range-activated thingies that make your shopping trolley stop when you get too far away from their start point.

    Some people just really commit to embracing Australian culture, y'know?  Sigh, she even really, really hates West Coast supporters.

    I heard Eddie say Sidebottom's partner was expecting (in the context of players returning to Melbourne for births and then having to do another 2 weeks quarantine) but unsure if she is in Qld or Vic currently. Pendles, Treloar, Sidebottom and Degoey potentially not playing from their midfield. We won't deserve finals if we can't take care of that.

    Dam sydney had there chances in that final term. Papley missed shots he'd usually kick and when they were 2 points down 3 swans players just handballed to each other instead of 1 choosing to take shot when they were all open. Dam that would have been great to see them knocked off, but in fairness the goal by Daicos was awesome. 

    The saints suns game is really enjoyable so far. Not fussed who wins.

    I'm biased because I absolutely detest St Kilda, but I reckon they're the worst top 2 side I've ever seen.

    They rely on goals out the back, extreme accuracy (which history says doesn't last) and unforced errors from their opponents.

    Sure, credit to them for winning and likely going 7-3 after tonight, but I reckon they're going to get found out later in the year.

    Memo to Dees brains trust. 
     

    1- Saints forward strategy. 2 Talls. 4 smalls. Kick to forward 25 spot and rove the pack. Butler. Hind. Kent. Gresham. 
     

    2- Saints mids. Use their pace and run. Hill. Jones. Billings. Hold them up and slow down the supply. 
     

    Probably doesn’t matter. Membrey is poor against most clubs but kicks 4-5 against Dees (usually on oscar McDonald)

    • 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.
