the Storm game from Thursday night is worth a watch. With their injuries they were playing their back up players in most of the key positions.

Hmmm...I'm not really into rugby league to be honest DJ but it could be a nice filler until the EFL championship playoff final tonight and the champions league final early tomorrow.

    The Lions having a leisurely saunter in the Sun today. No preparation for their game against us. They'll get a rude awakening next week.

    the last couple of weeks have not been good to us in the "other team stakes".

    At least Port play Geelong next week which will help.

    Beat Brisbane next week and .............

    Half time and Collingwood hasn’t kicked a goal hahahahahahahaha

    They'll get those 5 goals back in 10 minutes of good footy. At match sim training on Tuesday.

    If Buckley had any sense of decency, he'd get them up to beat the Cats & their next opponent, to help drum up a crowd for Queen's birthday, and also to get his contract extended. Hopefully for another 10 years.

    Every Collingwood supporter I speak to wants Buckley gone and fear a couple of meritorious wins will save him.

    Yes our capitulation in the last round 2017 (in)famously helped with the extension to his contract. At least Lynden Dunn was pleased. Jeremy Howe still fantasises of being a high profile gun forward. A change of prez and coach may help...

    Pies are horrible to watch but they are dogged. I predict the queens birthday clash will be a regulation 5 goal Dees win snorefest

    It's a pity pies fans not allowed into the G today to watch their team stink the joint out.

    Time for the Collingwood board to confirm Buckley’s contract extension to the end of 2023.

    They should not hold back 2025

    They were soooo good to watch! How they do it year in year out with the salary cap is unbelievable.

    Yeah Grundy is gone for a long time by the looks

    I doubt they will miss him has done very little the last two years, he has a very long contract to go at the pies.

    This Geelong side have played some of the worst footy I’ve seen this year. How they are 3rd I’ll never know.

    On the AFL app, marking contest against Stanley who was behind him trying to spoil Grundy. Stanley arm/elbow came down on Grundy shoulder near his neck and Grundy went straight to the turf in pain.

    • 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.
