Apparently Collingwood has changed its website banner from 'side-by-side' to 'made-by-many'.  Can't confirm the first part. 

If it has been changed, coincidence or damage control.  I suggest the latter - usually they make a big fanfare of such things.

But what are they thinking 'Made-by-many' is soooo boring and uninspiring.

    Nothings impossible. However, North have to go into rebuild mode now and are unlikely to play finals in the next 3 to 4 year period - Brown's likely career span. He turns 28 in a few days time.

    I thought you were joking, but I checked their website (so others don't have to) and you're right!

    WTF does does 'made by many' even mean?

    I also couldn't believe it so I checked their website before posting.

    'Side-by-side' is a good battle-cry but 'made-by-many'...bland, bland, bland.

    I was wondering who is going to drop out of the 8 so we can replace them.  I know the answer:  Collingwood!!  They are a bit of a mess.

    Hopefully its either 31 or 33 and switch of picks, rather than 26

    I don't think that really matters too much.  There isn't a whole of difference between them - if it's 26 and a swap of fourth rounders of something then that's a terrific outcome for us.

    Can't shake the feeling the delay is to do with us wanting to expand this deal to include something else. or potentially getting a player involved.

    Sounds like we've given North a variety of options - some reports say that we've thrown up names like ANB or Vanders in these discussions - but North aren't keen on any of them.  Looks like they just want picks, or the players they may have asked for (like a Harmes) is off the table.  I don't mind us trying a few different things as long as we get the deal done in the end.

    Yeah for sure, just a coleman medalist who has kicked nearly 200 goals in the last 4 years. and getting him for a 2nd round pick. horrible off season.

    Don't think he has won a Coleman. Few seconds and thirds.

    Actually that’s quite a major and iconic change given that “side by side” is part of their theme song and heritage.

    We finished 9th. Ben Brown is a 200cm mature proven key forward and goal kicker. 5 of our 8 losses we won the inside 50 count.

    Yep disappointing.

    As I said when Treloar move was mooted. Unless Pies paid at least $300k each year for the 5 years of the contract he was staying. Looks like when Dunkley goes he comes in.

    Pies will still need to do a bit of clearing so guess Stephenson will be a Roo today and HOPEFULLY Phillips a Demon.

    Treloar is going to the bulldogs. time to move on from that fantasy guys. he'll be involved in the Dunkley deal. 

    Treloar is a risk I did not want to happen.

    Collingwood list management is a hot mess. The person dishing out their contracts must be the ones doing Trump's taxes... 'she'll be right'.

    This fire sale is amusing.

    That looks close to about right...

    Their willingness to part with $100k for next season was always a joke.

    It's going to cost them big time.

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
