We are surely the only supporter base in the country who on game day discuss what we are eating and drinking and it’s not VB and a servo pie, but smoked meat and aged whiskey and salad and cheese ?

Fish fingers in the George Foreman.
Salad .... Pffft.

    Being a traditionalist, I'll be inhaling a couple of meat pies from the local bakery but the real key to a good day 's barracking will be sloshing them down with a decent shiraz.

    Timing is key off course so the first one will hit the cakehole at about 2.30.

    I'm oddly nervous about this game. I don't know whether it's the Buckley departure or the fact the we have an inability to blow games out. Or if its Jamie Elliott's recently found form. arggh

    Im having a debate with a Collingwood supporter friend. How long has the QB match (Melb vs Collingwood) been going for. ie: how long is the tradition?

    The tradition has been at least since the Norm Smith 1950s. Enough said!

    It's VB for me up here in Qld. Keep the Vic in me going.

    Anybody else just having a pie and sauce and a few ales? Or am I the only black sheep on here?

    On any measurement we should win this game by a solid amount, but I doubt it will be a smashing: Collingwood's biggest losing margin this year is 30 (vs GWS and Sydney).

    They can defend reasonably well but they really struggle to score. Even last week when they won, they only scored 78, and they were super accurate with 12.6 to Adelaide's 10.13.

    They've only scored above 80 three times all year, against weak defensive sides (Carlton, Essendon and North). Against stronger defensive sides they've struggled to score (53 vs the Dogs, 42 vs Sydney, 51 vs Geelong).

    Elliott and De Goey are dangerous in the forward line but they have to get it there. We know that when we're at least breaking even in the middle, and when our forward half game is on, even the best forward lines struggle to score: the Dogs and Brisbane over the last fortnight are the perfect examples. 

    If we do what we know we can do, there is a comfortable win here for the taking.

    But the Adelaide game reminds us that if we're off, any side can beat us.

    Good points titan but if we win in the middle it can be in the goal square in one kick. I reckon Weid will get opportunities today - he'll need to capitalize .

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
