How good is Nick Daicos? Horne-Francis has been lapped already.

GC and Port have a better Percentage than the Pies! Can’t wait to see them with a tough draw next. Won’t make finals

Lost our first game in round 11 and now there are several teams equal on wins. Second half of the season has been a flop for us (so far)

Are we on the way to doing a North circa (I can't remember)

I am so happy though that we are loaded

Pies could do some damage in the finals.

Unlike Carlton and Freo, Collingwood have plenty of veterans that played in the 18, 19 and 20 finals series. They’re not as young as the media make them out to be.

I get it that they’re just scraping over the line against mediocrity but I wouldn’t rule them out in winning the flag. 

I’d say Geelong would beat them in a final though.

Sigh.

They're 7-1 now in games decided by under two goals.

I would love to know if there has ever been a side sit this high on the ladder this late into a season with a percentage of 106.2%.

In their last 3 games they’ve beaten The Suns, North and The Crows by an average of 6 points.

Sides come up with 3 more goals across their last 240 minutes of footy and they’d be 10th.

Pies just getting lucky. Can’t wait to see them get destroyed in finals. 

Seriously think your underestimating Collingwood.

Didnt see the game obviously a good contest and i notice frees about the same at Adelaide Oval. Collingwood got loads of them as did the  crows. Pies 22 frees last i looked may have been more.

Melbourne? 3 frees in 3 quarters at the same game r16.

How would Collingwood have gone getting 3 frees after qtr time today? Highly likely they would have lost.

B****y Collingwood. As much as I admire Pendlebury I despise the jumper, the club, the club's history built on the back of John Wren's dirty money, and especially Ginnivan. I reckon I will watch the replay of the next game they lose. The fact they are equal with us on points makes me puke.

That is something that will never happen. Umps like Collingwood as they do Carlton and the Dogs.

There are few guarantees in life, but I reckon it's a dead set certainty that if it was us winning these close games against bottom six sides, you would be writing us off entirely as fluking it. Yet Collingwood does it and they are a chance to win the flag.

Did Ginnivan drop his knee into the Crows player's neck/upper chest (late in the 3rd/early in the 4th) when they were wrestling on the ground?

As it currently stands 5 teams on 48 points at the top of the ladder. If the blues were to get up, that would be 6 on 48+ points before we play....this is not the game we want to lose.

Yes - they’re a chance for the flag.

You disagree?

Ginnivan is a [censored] but he is a hard player who gets to the ball. Im starting to think he is ok.

I wish our pressure and tackling was as manic as what Collingwood’s has been for most of this year.

When you know you're not going to get pinged when you tackle from some whistle crazy maggot, it makes a difference to both facets of pressure. That of course notwithstanding several  of the biggest appealers in the AFL.

McRae close to coach of the year. The pies won't keep winning close games but he is extracting the maximum from this team. They tackle and pressure as good as any, run both ways and they take the game on. I hope they flame out later in the year but you never know. They could well go deep into finals

Looks like North are going to tease us again

Hard not to get excited though. 10.2 to 3.12. Keep it up, North!

HQ would like North, Carlton, Sydney, Port and Gold Coast to win. 6 teams on 48, 1 on 44 and 8th spot still open with 5 teams on 36 points.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
