Way too good for Demonland.

    If Collingwood are to keep winning I hope it's from these penalty shootout games. Eventually they will die.

    I'm bullish on Collingwood's chances this year as they have a great blend of attacking flair, defensively sound and play with a ton of spirit.

    However, you'd have to wonder how sustainable all these close losses are in terms of their chances in September. The law of averages will suggest they'll start losing some close ones in the late rounds and finals.

    Have to feel for Leigh Adams a bit.

    They just had a great win and have a few winnable games ahead of them.

    But North have started the process of getting a priority pick.

    What does the coach do:  tank to get the pick or go all out and build some belief and confidence in the next 5 games.

    Agree, at some point and especially this late in the season all those 'penalty shootout' wins catch up with you. 

    Just hope they are nice and wrecked for our game.

    It's such a flawed situation. I wonder if the AFL will have the Kangas under a microscope on the lookout for any action not within the spirit of the game? Maybe Ben Mackay's forward move recently should have been scrutinised more! Will let it slide until Davies Uniacke lines up at Full forward and Goldstein goes to Full back but at that point I expect an investigation! 

    Real talk though I'd go with the confidence and belief route. It's underrated.

    Those post-match scenes were so heartwarming. Some of the players did an entire lap of the ground, hand-slapping as many fans as poss. And when they sang the song… 🥹
    To think they’d orchestrate losses to get a PP is very disheartening.

    Reckon Collingwood have burnt a lot of 'petrol tickets' to get where they are. Hopefully they fall away form now.

    With regards to Collingwood, the average percentage for a grand finalist since 2012 is 134%. (MFC's percentage in 2021 was 130%)

    Collingwood are currently 106% so they would be defying absolute football logic if they make the GF this year.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
