  • So if Gawn doesn’t play, it certainly levels the game up very quickly.
  • Gawn hasn't been named. Scared of getting the usual bath from Grundy, I suppose.
  • Pruess be a Poor Man Mumford by trying to Rough up Grundy.
  • Pruess isn’t a real ruck, I actually rate him, but he’s a Mumford crash and bash type who’ll try to hurt his opponent.

I still remember that time when Witts, Grundy and Cox were all selected to combat Gawn and Max destroyed them all single-handedly.

Then there's that time where Max got 34 touches against Grundy... just last year, in fact.

It's an argument I try to have 'fun' with outwardly with Collingwood supporters about who is better, but I secretly boil inside :P

    Another thing that surprises me is opposition supporters don't seem to rate Oliver.  There's always talk of Gawn and Petracca, and to a lesser extent Brayshaw and Viney.  Any theories?

    Oliver is the pinball wizard. Gets plenty of hard ball and loose ball with his quick reflexes. Doesn't always damage with his disposal and goes unnoticed coz he doesn't hold the ball long quick disposal his forte. Often the one two tree four links are lost at another point in the trail so not as damaging.  He also doesn't shepherd and jogs off the ball so can allow space for opponents.Nouestioning his work rate which is consistently forged in the boiler house but he gets no release with umpire protection so can fatigue  and be less effective.

    Love him and when he is on we are a lot better. The coach should use him as a barometer. When he's good he's very good when he's off he should be taken off and rested.

    I think its the opposite.  They don't mention him because they know he cant be stopped.   The guy just gets the ball it doesn't matter whos on him or what tactics are employed.

    Its a crime how underrated he is despite being an AA at such a  young age and his statistical domination.

    Agree. If he was at Collingwood, Essendon or Hawthorn, the media would cream themselves over him.

    FWIW . . . 

    • I trawl the different opposite forums, mostly looking for patterns and themes. Oliver was not mentioned in any of the fora this week that I can recall. 
    • Most fora degenerate into 'group think' and latch on to a weekly theme. Only natural and fully human to do that I think.
    • A significant percentage of supporters at most clubs dislike their coach, footy department, head recruiter, president/chair and the AFL.
    • I would say most opposition supporters that voice an opinion about the Deez, voice a negative one.
    • There is almost universal respect for Max. I think I can only remember one derogatory comment this year.

    How many suffer from their version of MFCSS?  Or are we unique?

    Just a few I have noticed over the years

    Port followers definitely have a "we will fail as the season progresses" ethos.

    I found Hawks the most arrogant with their 2018 poll on how many premierships Clarkson would deliver post 2018...not if but how many !!!

    Freo think they are the drafting kings.

    Essendon are believers. 

    Richmond are feral ( the thread on what they thought of Hugh Rimmington the reporter who broke the Chol story is a classic)

    Have never been to the Saints board but I would like to think they are similar to us.

    • That was woeful. With all due respect to our opponents, who outplayed us in every facet of the game, the Dees are a nothing side. They've picked up their wins over the worst sides in the comp and are one of the most average teams going around. They made us look like a bottom 2 VFL side.
    • Another week of a dysfunctional forward line, the result was inevitable.
    • So Instead of us all complaining on here let’s all send an email to the club and demand change. Change in admin, coaches and recruiting. They won’t do anything unless they know how [censored] off we are especially Eddie and bucks.
    • Won the inside 50s and got rolled by 9 goals. That's impressive....
    • Fair play to Melbourne, they demolished us and have improved. That's three consecutive 50+ point wins for them.

    Exactly what I was thinking, the old “I don’t want to offend anyone but...” [insert offensive comment]. 

    What this shows is that Collingwood with the players they currently have out are a bottom 10 team. We can only beat who we’ve played and we should’ve got at least one win against either the Cats or Lions but choked.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
