    As well as Carlton are playing, Cats 17 scoring shots to Blues 8. Blues half forwards being murdered.

    im watching the Freo match and heart rate decreasing

    No ... that's quite normal.

    However I'm sure you don't hate them as much as me.

    When we speak of learnings i hope our club has learned not to stand the line when marking an OOTF.

    The Doggies clever.  Started using the outside 5 rule to protect the inside play on or kick from this situation a fair while back.

    Cats & the Blues have now learnt and are also doing this tonight.

    As of last week we were still standing the line.

    You know the thing about the cats, they never seem to overuse the handball, it's generally one or two followed by a kick. Even when we're playing well, we just seem to overdo it, and that issue has plagued us since Neeld. There have obviously been games that are the exception but too few and far between.

    You have to applaud the Cats. As much as i hate to say it, they are the real deal and will be a difficult proposition in Sept. 

    Pressure has been through the roof and the Bkues look gassed.

    Scoreboard flatters the Blues. Their defensive ability across the whole ground is not there yet. They’re zero chance of winning the premiership this year due to that, but will be a serious contender in the coming years.

    Both Freo and Sydney are serious contenders. Freo for mine are ready to swoop on the flag. They’re probably the best defensive team going at the moment, and defense is what wins premierships.

    Haha, if you need therapy we probably all do. I feel ill just thinking about them winning the flag. I'd take anyone above them atm.

    Blues fans sooking about the umps is priceless. Without their help this year they would struggle to make the 8.

    yep. It’s hard to say isnt it, but  right now they’re the flag favorites. Gonna take a lot of beating to get past them now.

    The only thing would be whether they have peaked a bit too early..

    Yeh very strong allover the field the [censored].  Hard to find a weak area.  Maybe the ruck but usually that isnt a huge factor.  Certainly well organised, maintain their structure and strong over the ball.

    They attack the ball carrier straight away ...no hesitation at all.  The opp is always under frontal pressure.

    Freo might be a team to counter this frontal pressure as they prefer to fold back and then counter vs the attacking forward style of the Blues.  Where do we sit here i wonder?

    Cats are the most efficient team in the league atm. 18 scoring shots from 36 entries

    [censored] I hate them

    Our defense isnt to bad either

    What a pity Carlton are losing.  If they had won. 7 sides on 48. At this moment. Quite close. Really

    • 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?
