Funnily enough the fact this is Buck’s last game makes me think our guys will take this match more seriously as they know the Pies will come out swinging. Maybe that works in our favour.

I'm somewhere between pfft-fugazi and oh-my-god-Hogan-isn't-smiling on the Buckley swansong impact expectations, but I agree that hopefully it will have a positive impact - not just the thought that the Pies will come out swinging, but that they indeed do and make it a high-pressure game. I have been a bit concerned about our inability to play our best outside of big occasions and genuine challengers. I know this is a partially flawed measure, but it terms of points gains and losses on last season results: 

Rich +61

Dogs +56

Geelong +28

Bris +26

Hawks +3

North -27

Adelaide -50

    Not sure I agree with the Max Gawn badge. Always picked her as a Salem fan.

    Anyone else concerned about our forward line on the SCG? Hoping to see Oliver, Harmes and Petracca kick a few between them.

    We’re down in Bay 15 in the Trumper, just under cover; hopefully the rain will hold off regardless.

    Looks like media are having a field day about Collingwood and Buckley it being his last game. Making it all about them despite it being a Demons home match and sitting top of the ladder.

    I have a lot of respect for Bucks.

    He'll easily snap up a jon within the AFL very soon.

    Did you guys hear about how Bucks is apparently coaching his last game? Apparently there was a whisper in the warm up

    To be expected. Do you think either way it matters to the players or the coaches though?

    Great MND slide, love Neale just smiling up there. The whiz & Sarah Jones BOG for me.

    Now lets go dees & smash these pies. Start well

    Extremely nervous about this. Hope we are switched on and start well. Crush their hopes early.

    Final games from coaches always make me nervous, and this is especially so given Bucks is such a fixture at Collingwood.

    Still, they don't always end in fairytales for the outgoing coach. I don't think we won our last game with Neale? I think I went to that game and it was a real close loss against the Bombers?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
