That was such a soft 50m goal to Dunny.

Good to see him back I guess.

Free kicks.

Pies 11

Crows 4

Haha yes a draw would be awesome.

    Walker causes so many turnovers....... I imagine he thinks he looks good doing it and cannot understand these pesky black and white jumpers getting in the way....

    Pies do not look good a I watch the Crows play in a similar fashion to the way they did against us.

    Wonder if they will run out of legs in the last.

     

    Lets be real about this game. It is atrocious.

    Watching Frost for the Hawks this year, I disagree, he has consistently been good for the Hawks this year, was good against us and I reckon Clarkson would be happy with the trade, he also hits others quite hard, doing more than Frawley on probably a third of the money.

    Collingwood. 2 goals to half time, 

     

    hope me they do worse next game !!

    should not win at that score

    Opposition scouting watch based on 1st half:

    -Taylor Adams is their playmaker, you cannot afford him to give him space as he sets up the majority of Collingwood scores and is generally a neat pick, would recommend a tag

    -Grundy looks tired and not impacting much apart from winning the hitouts, Gawn could outrun him off his feet

    -Darcy Cameron is their only big target, block his space

    -The collingwood forwards thrive on space, do not allow them any space- in a crowded forward line they are rubbish

    -Collingwood love to use the corridor, make them go down the line and block the corridor

    -Maynard sets up alot off HBF. Don't leave him on his own.

    He was good against us, but his deficiency still exists and always will. There are games his “Frost Ball” will look amazing and create something, then 5min later it will cost goals. 

    It’s why I wasn’t gutted about him leaving (though still a little disappointed). 

    Probably better for Demons if Collingwood win by 3 goals

    they think they have done well and we belt them 


    What I’ve seen of this riveting match is that Adelaide have actually had equal amounts of opportunities but the pies have just been cleaner with taking their chances.

    Yes it does, I still think he has tidied up a bit with Clarskon's coaching.

    But your thoughts please, the game is so micro managed now, that anyone choosing to take the game on and making a boo boo, is super exposed with the media making a meal of it, I actually think it takes a fair bit of courage to not be a conservative down the line defender,  it is one of the things I like about our footy and dislike the way the game becomes all about the percentages.

    Useless [censored] they are

    Nah we want them to win.  Last thing we need is for the Pies to give the Crows their first win.  They then get smashed in the media and are fired up for their game against us.

    Better for them to win, be relieved and be exhausted before facing us.

    We wont go into the 8 now if we beat the Pies.

    Them winning tonight doesn't help us at all.

    Adelaide will probably ask for a priority pick this year and probably get one knowing the AFL.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
