Where? Who would you drop? We are having difficulty getting Salem back in.

could take ANB spot or jordon's in a reshuffle. he will be a premier small forward for the next decade he's only 21 now. imagine he and kozzy together. essendon were the closest to securing him last year but now have 2x davey boys coming through as well as new recruit wanganeen so maybe less interest especially if tippa gets back up and running and the pies and you'd think would ask the question again as well as maybe hawthorn and NM. Honestly even sides like carlton and richmond who have small forwards would be upgrading if they got hill. genuinely not a single vic club he wouldnt improve

Maybe Hill will no longer want to leave GWS, with a new senior coach coming on board.

he wants to come closer to family with 2 young kids

    Peeved we didn’t chase Hill last year. He was the difference in two finals. 

    28% of Collingwood's goals this finals series.  In all sorts of different conditions.  He literally won them the flag.

    I thought he was a flake at GWS, certainly proved me wrong and stood up in big games. Great finals series from Hill.

    Why don't we just go to the police station in a big clown suit and show everyone exactly what we're doing.

    His hanger and goal was chef's kiss beautiful. Can't stand Collingwood but gotta respect that effort. Fair play to him, he had a massive day out yesterday and totally deserved the Norm.

    His performance yesterday plus the finals has catapulted him into elite status for small forwards of the competition.

    To then put on that performance yesterday in front of 100k is seriously impressive. 

    Hope Kozzie was watching.

    I also hope Goodwin was watching, it's amazing what happens when you have a player that stays around the forward line but it was also bad coaching from the lions who allowed their players to be drawn up the ground and allowing that, it's been the pies game plan all year keeping Hill or Elliot to play that role.

    Kudos to Turner for pushing this.

    At the same time, the Pies use their forwards and deliver to them at a much classier / effective level than we do (much of the time anyway).

    Plus they manage to clear out their forward line when they need to to get some of these one v ones going.

    Their ability to transition quickly plus then get the ball into the hands of dangerous finshers to deliver to these types and / or hit the scoreboard themselves on occasions is also probably the most effective going around right now.

    Simon would do well to take notice of their finals series here.

    It held up well under all sorts of pressure and their speedy transition, miserly team defence and quality forward craft ended up delivering them the ultimate prize.

    With the exception of the GF, games were played in their back half, so they defended brilliantly, but that meant heaps of space in behind the opposition when they eventually won the ball in space. That space enables dangerous forward entries.

    A fantastic approach to take if you have a rock solid defence, skilled and pacey players from the back half right through to the forward half and a coach who encourages an exciting offensively minded game style when you win the ball back. 

    Baffling that they won the Granny though!?

    They were so offensively minded, they won a GF by kicking 12 goals.

    Their ability to stay in games, particularly in the finals series, hinged on their ability to defend. Not their ability to attack.

    They managed 9 goals, 8 goals and 12 goals. What an offensive master-class! They won the flag due to their defence...

    You know what I reckon Collingwood do well? They 'extend' games. 

    Games that could be dead are kept alive thanks to their great rearguard and never say die attitude

    Yeah, they definitely take the game on. Their midfield cattle isn't great at winning contests, but N Daicos, if allowed to run from one end to the other and connect their play, has the ability to hit targets that open up the game. He's not the only Collingwood player that is an elite kick, but their better cattle for score generation is elite kicking. Our elite players for score generation tend to be our contested players who aren't elite kicks, but win contest after contest. A good system should play to the strengths of the list. But it always comes back to defence in big finals.

    I'd also love an NGA prospect like Quaynor. He's an out and out star. I recall him being beaten once by Cameron yesterday that led to that goal, but otherwise he and their defenders rarely lose contests behind the ball. He certainly doesn't.

    I'm certainly guilty of underrating their defenders and their capability to win crucial 1v1s.

    Quaynor would be the best 1v1 small defender going right now IMO.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
