one of the clubs i truly envy

meth coke have an amazingly strong record of being a finals side  - they've only finished outside the 5 / 6 / 8 nine times in their existence (twice in their first three years), and even then they've only dropped into the bottom few on half those occasions (and used that as an opportunity to 'bounce' back up the ladder quickly with good drafting and trading)

they've already been rumoured to be 'into' tim english from the dogs and logan mcdonald from sydney, have a heap of players due to roll off big salaries soon, and are, arguably, the wealthiest club in the competition

 

Did they win the 2021 flag though?

    So, the Demons have finally been knocked off their perch after the Dockers thrashed the Eagles yesterday. The thrashing in Perth assured Freo of top spot on the 2022 pre season ladder with only today’s Richmond v Geelong blockbuster replay of the 2020 grand final to complete the opening round. 

    Fremantle 1 - - 141 44 320.5 4
    Melbourne 1 - - 132 44 300.0 4
    Brisbane 1 - - 138 49 281.6 4
    Collingwood 1 - - 111 45 246.7 4 *
    Gold Coast 1 - - 76 55 138.2 4
    GWS Giants 1 - - 126 95 132.6
    Carlton 1 - - 67 60 111.7 4
    Essendon 1 - - 81 75 108.0 4 

    ————————————————————

    Western Bulldogs - 1 - 75 81 92.6 0
    St Kilda - 1 - 60 67 89.6 0
    Sydney Swans - 1 - 95 126 75.4 0
    Port Adelaide - 1 - 55 76 72.4 0
    Hawthorn - 1 - 44 111 39.6 0 *
    Adelaide - 1 - 49 138 35.5 0
    North Melbourne - 1 - 44 132 33.3 0
    West Coast Eagles - 1 - 44 141 31.2 0

    * The anomaly of the round was the Collingwood v Hawthorn game played over six quarters (sixths) which ended in a 141 all draw but I’ve only counted the serious part which was the first three quarters that saw the Pies well in front at the not so final siren. The rest of that game was a bit like this series - somewhat Mickey Mouse.

    If the eagles are chasing Tim English then maybe Jackson has already told them no, you would think west coast would want Jackson before English

    I hope he has predicted us to miss the 8 again, like he did last year.

    And their supporters are insufferable. And 1990, 1991, 1994 & 2018 - that's why they're one of my most hated club's.

    I guess it is pretty early to make judgements but having watched most of these 

    practice games all the other teams apart from ours looked very disorganised.

    Our systems are looking strong like our playing list

    As someone mentioned on this thread the only team

    I thought had outplayed us last yr was GWS. They were cruelled by

    injuries last year.

    So good to see West Coast struggling. 6 key players injured. Shepperd retired early. Darling and anti vax tard.

    Watched the highlights of Cats and Tigers. Geez the Tigers looked like they took a step back in time. Cats have seriously adjusted their game plan too but not sure it will be enough. Both look the goods for 2022. I get it’s only praccy matches but I think On that performance they are both a top 8 side.

    • 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?
