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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
