i thought the match up was tough already (for similar reasons to why we lost last year), and wish I shared your confidence. Maybe MFCSS is slowly creeping in (cue Powderfinger!), but I am already getting mentally ready for a 2 week self-imposed ban from listening to SEN and RSN and watching any footy shows.

    I think the fans probably need a win more than the club does. Would make for a much more comfortable bye week if we were back on the winner's list

    Perfect time to smash in hard and show the footy world what we can do at our best again - I think many have already forgotten how devastating our best football is

    Agreed.

    People need to get their heads around the fact that it's not 2021 anymore.

    Apparently our defensive pressure which was the hall mark of last year has gone from elite to mid table or worse. 

    I saw somewhere we are 17th for pressure.


    Yikes.

    Do they have a young player we can attack, as they did to Jack Watts all those years ago? 

    Maybe a Daicos, or Henry?

    The goings on this week have left me cranky.

    Once more, unto the breach dear friends.....

    One of the greatest movie versions ever made of any Shakespeare play is Laurence Olivier's "Henry V". As the battle of Agincourt begins, there are three riders, which becomes five riders which becomes nine riders and eventually hundreds. All shot in one scene. We need our team to play like that on Monday. We need to overwhelm the opposition in numbers.

    The intensity we need to bring should be comparable to what we delivered in the PF & GF games. Nothing less. We have a week to recover so nothing short of sustained pressure over 4Q is a pass, especially given the slander and negative press the club has been exposed to.

    If we can bring that, then i would agree with the OP. 

    However, do not underestimate the intensity the Pies will bring. They will be playing high on confidence, they will be expecting a response so they will be ready. Challenge is to blow them out of the water early and put them on the back foot and questioning themselves. First quarter will decide the game.

    This may be by design. We do have 10 wins banked without burning energy applying manic pressure.

    If we lose I get 10 days to avoid pie fans. I think the pies play G better than us.

    What a week! The players appear to be galvanising, so should we as supporters, I’m going to back them by turning up this Monday.

    Let’s not forget who we are up against, it is our (or at the very least my) arch enemies.

    Don’t care if we have injuries, suspensions or are loading- I want Collingwood but in particular their feral supporters and that little frosby flopping, free kick seeking piece of peroxided excrement, Ginnivan to suffer a humiliating defeat (whether it be by one point or 10 goals I don’t care), just so long as it cuts to the bone.

    You can’t experience this type of pleasure by watching it on TV or Kayo, you got to be there!

    GO DEES!!

    Top post and thread in general.

    If anyone wants anymore GEEing up for the game, watch the clip on the club's website of Daniel Turner being announced as playing on Monday, done at training this morning.

    Priceless, including the effort by Jake Lever in the announcement, and especailly look around at the smiling faces of team mates.

    Fascinating

    That's always the problem playing Collingwood..would you prefer to win by 1 or 100. 1 is almost better.

    My 7 and 9 year old boys had a punch on yesterday. 7 yo won. Gave them both a week. Mother wants to review it.

    They are in their room playing nicely now. Bit like footy players.

    Players should treat this game with Finals Intensity. They know the levels now. It’s not a dream. They powered away with the Flag last year. 
    Losing S May is a major blow as is TMac. But others step in and we still have a dam good side 

    But Monday is Finals pressure and then a week off

    I hope we do. Taking my son to his first ever Melbourne game, and my first game in 3 years as we live so far away. Might have to pack some earplugs as he has never been exposed to magpie filth before.

    So, what's the true story? Did the 9 year old complain that the 7 year old let the side down playing marbles with the neighbour's kids or did he say he was sick of telling a third child how to position his tombola?

    Read the title of this thread and thought, will we though, then watched the Daniel Turner video and thought, yes I think we will.

    Yikes.

    Interestingly we lead the league in tackles inside 50, have conceded the fewest amount of points (even with a full game more on a quarter of the league who had the bye last round) and along with Collingwood are one of the best intercept teams in the league.

    We are one of the worst tackling and worst pressure act teams (pressure act being chasing a team from behind). It could well be the way we play in that we rarely need to chase. Teams out tackle us given we are near the top in contested possessions and disposals. We win and have more of the ball overall. We also go forward more than any other team.

    It could explain why our games haven't looked "good" all year. They have almost always seemed like grinds and they really have been.

    Suggesting Collingwood "should" win though is a stretch. Why?

    Ok so we have landed on Ginnivan, Henry, and a Daicos preferably 2. 

    Jack V. gets first crack, and gets a license to cop a 50 metre penalty and goal, or up to 2 weeks suspension if he can’t be subtle enough. 

    Then Hibbo, Harmes, Pickett to finish off whoever is left.

    Seeing as the AFL  has been kowtowed into stumbling into something they apparently can selectively choose to enter into I hope the Club will demand an opinion prior to Monday's Game as there is a definite question of double standards here..

    If jack  v gets first crack as you say the others won't be required.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
