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 

 

I hate the filth. To think I will be barracking for Essendon next 🙄

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.

Any more losses and I'll be getting loaded


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.

Genuinely disgraceful from North. Where has this been all year? 
Gotta feel for Noble.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
