"... 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.

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?

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.

Game on. What happened to Treloar? 

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)

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
