Geez a port win and Dees win will give us a 2 game buffer at the top of the ladder. Fingers crossed we bring the pressure on Sunday.

    Wouldn't mind seeing the saints get up over the Cats. Highly unlikely though.

    Reckon GWS are a big chance against the Tiges.

    One morereason to dislike the Pies.......

    Rigging mark of the week....

    “We imagine it’ll be pretty hard for Checkers to beat Shai Bolton... Give it your all, Magpie Army,” the Magpies tweeted on Monday.

    The move proved a success, with the Magpies’ forward prevailing with just over half the fan vote.

    “Shoutout to the Magpie Army, you’ve done it,” Collingwood tweeted.

    The surprise voting result caused a storm of discussion on social media.

    “With all due respect to Brody, this wasn’t mark of the week. I reckon he would even agree with that,” Richmond great Matthew Richardson tweeted.

    Top of the ladder joy: as long as you keep winning at least one team falls further behind you in every other game!

    Example: If Port beat the Dogs, we go two games clear on top of the ladder.  But if the Dogs beat Port we go THREE games clear for securing a top-2 spot.

    When you're winning, everything is a win.

    I love that all the club and players have to think about is winning and the rest will take care of itself.

    Have now assumed we will be top 4 (well why not)

    Optimist says you want the interstate teams at 3 and 4. (Home ground advantage)

    Pessimist says you want to maximise the number of Vic teams in top 4 (avoids an interstate game)

    mmm I'll have to think on it but a Geelong loss would be nice either way

    I want the dogs to win as I would rather be 3 games clear of 3rd than 2 games clear of second. There is no difference between 1st and 2nd.

    Good point re. the Dogs over Port scenario. It's such an unfamiliar feeling as a (1980s onward) Melbourne supporter, this whole top-of-the-ladder caper!

    Keep waiting for the Cats to fall.  They are not good enough to bring consistent effort each week

    Who knows what you'll get with the Saints. could be an interesting game tonight

    Are we going 2 games clear or what - this week boys and girls!

    Really good point.

    The only advantage of 1st over 2nd is you get the 8 day break into a GF if both sides qualify...which hasn't happened since 2014 (Sydney V Hawks)

    They are giving Geelong a talk up after beating up on the Tiges. 

    Hope they don't get consistency and the saints come waltzing in.

    There's no way that Geelong are premiership favourites like they crapped on at the start of the telecast

    They've missed so many easy shots, they should be up by 10 goals

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
