    In fairness, it was a good win.

    That it was.  A good game, well umpired.  Missed a free kick at the end

    You know that endless commentary that begins "we now know how to beat (insert team name here).

    Against the Dees, it is short kicking through our zone, but make sure you hit yoour targets.

    Cue the mind-numbing ad nauseum repetition of to beat Carlton, beat them at clearance."

    Both teams played well, Collingwood's pressure won it for them. Blues almost stole it when they won the clearances again in the last 10 minutes or so.

    Carlton have a similar injury list to ours. And Weitering goes down was analagous to May going down.

    They put up way more than a fight than us, considering both teams lost their key defenders.

    If you insist on using those sort of words Winners, you'll be banned from 'Land.

    I wonder what may have contributed to us not putting up a fight so to speak, when we've fought pretty consistently for 18 months...

    I watched Gawn on his haunches in the first 5 minutes of the match.... I know in elite sport you can't use excuses publicly, and there are reasons why things occur.

    If a 'bug' was the case (Flu? It's [censored] everywhere in Vicco) and Goodwin mentioned it in the presser, he'd just be sounding a bit like the Geelong bloke...

    "Freo were outstanding, and we lost May, and Petty was crocked, and our backline was depleted, and we couldn't run because we had 1/3 of the playing side take the ground with the flu"... that'd be interesting to the narrative.

    Is there anyway the League can introduce nil all draws? That'd be a rule change worth supporting.

    Over 80,000 at the G. You have to hand it to the 2 clubs. They know how to bring a crowd

    Especially when one of them is 10th on the ladder.

    Exactly, despite being the reigning premiers if Goodwin said this he’d be ripped to shreds by the media however when Chris Scott says it no one bats an eyelid.

    Having gigantic supporter bases and being on the “up” helps.

    Would that be it? I think he was frustrated at 1/4 time.

    Gee it's a good thing port had that good 1st half. 

    What a shocking final quarter with no side kicking a goal. 

    But the main thing is Essendon lose again 😁

    • 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?
