Absolutely makes sense.  He is spent. Can barely raise a trot.  I reckon he's carrying an injury too.

So Mason Cox in the Ruck then????

Yeah he’s been poor recently and just laboring around the ground with minimal impact most weeks. Good time to manage him knowing no Gawn to compete against.

I hope he plays Pendlebury because he will tear his quad again, worst injury to overcome just ask Jonesy.

Took him 6-8 weeks to recover.

    Collingwood forum thinks they may lose Brayden Sier to a knee injury.  No idea if hes any good but he has played the last 3 games for them.

    Ffs. Can’t Pendlebury have a few more days off 

    It could be arranged after the first bounce during the game - creating one man missing on the Filth bench. Have a quiet word to AVB or even May or perhaps, Viney. ?

    Sounds like Pendles will play this weekend.

    Just our luck of course.

    Don't be so sure. Have a Pies mate who is usually on the pulse and he said the Pendles injury is pretty bad.

    I reckon AVB might say G'day to him a few times in the first Q (if he plays)

    They have a huge number of injuries and sore players.

    Its a great chance to beat them. If we don't them frankly we're cooked anyway

    Being a traditional Saturday fixture, will teams be announced today? Or has that all gone out the window this season? I find it hard to keep up.

    AFL Fantasy podcast said all teams will be announced the night before the match at 6:20pm for the rest of the season.

    He's going to be underdone even if he does get up

    Buckley said earlier in the week that he was a chance to play, but hoped he would be right for the following week.

    To me that sounds like he is not playing.

    Roughead should be out after the head knock.  

    Lynden Dunn could play 2 games in 4 days, after 2 years out injured.


    If Dunny plays whoever is on him needs to run him all over the field, unless looks are deceiving in his current condition it looks like he'd blow up in 10 mins

    Very disappointing, he's been very good for us. His ground level stuff is amazing for a big man. Hope he's just nicked it.

    [censored] news if true. Really buggers up our structure and forces TMac to be number 1 ruckman. Unless they're willing to bring Pruess in ofcourse...

    Disaster. There goes the forwardline structure and the ability to pinch hit in the ruck.

    The flow on effects are massive. Now if Tom rucks, we'll be down to 1 KPF, which we know doesn't work.

    Is Preuss ready/fit enough? He has to come in now and unfortunately Tom will have to take KPF spot. Already a far weaker team.

    Hoping Tom Browne is wrong. Also hoping it's a short term hammy.


    We have worked LJ pretty hard with 3 games in 2.5 weeks games with two lots of 4 day breaks so not really  a surprise. 

    I suspect he won't be the last.

    The policy of not resting players is catching up with us.

    Could we potentially bring OMac back in, play Tomlinson as main ruck, TMac to ruck in forward half and relieve?

    Preuss has apparently only played 1 scratch match so not sure on match fitness.

    on top of that preuss has always struggled to play out 4 qtrs even when fit (though shorter game would suit him)

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
