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.

    Good to see that you have woken from your drunken stupour and crawled upstairs, from your dungeon wine cellar.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
