Just as a side note, are the Bulldogs and their fans the greatest over-celebrators in the history of the game. They are labelling it as a “historic win” and Bevo said it was “monumental”. They’ve posted black and white images of Bont and Bevo embracing in the change rooms. You’ve got Weightman interviewing after the game saying they can win it all. Yep, he actually said that. For a team that is one loss away from missing the eight, what an absurd thing to say. You’d think they’d learn

    What upsets me, is seeing sides like Carlton and Collingwood, kicking inside forward 50, to guys leading and making space and the kicks going right to them.

    Skill, practice or Coaching, or all three?

    Yeh that was an absolute joke, i am not sure whats was better, that or the bump ball that was paid a mark.

    I readily accept errors get made in games, but consistent one officiating is hard to swallow.

    Let them have their moment, lets see what happens in 5 weeks time when the real season starts.

    What was that even about? What rule was that? Not being facetious - genuinely interested.

    Something to do with having to wait for the wave of the flag before going into the square or along those lines I think?

    Yeah over celebrating for sure, probably think it atones for the grand final loss, they won't make finals this year.

    A lot of players are below par due to nagging injuries  - Gawn, Oliver, Langdon, Lever, Rivers, Salem, Brown and probably Jackson. I think this explains our current position and I doubt it will be corrected any time soon. My expectations for the rest of the year are quite low.

    How funny was Hibberd. Like when you know someone has lost the plot and you just slowly back away, without objection

    Make no mistake. They absolutely hate us. They beat us in the corresponding game this round last year and felt they had the wood over us. Then 3 goals up mid way through the 3rd quarter in a grand final and they could taste it. Followed by the most brutal 30 minutes of football anyone has ever seen to destroy them.

    Yeah, they can’t stand us. And I love it.

    They play Cats in Mordor then Freo so good luck with that! Doubt they can get in on 12 wins

    Bulldogs fans are an interesting lot. 
    A larger collection of mullets I haven’t seen since 1983. 
    They were carrying on like pork chops last night until you reminded them what happened in last year’s grand final and how far they’ve fallen since.

    First time I have witnessed that rule. Are we sure it exists?

    I just hope this puts MFC well and truly under the radar now. I hope the media completely writes us off. There's plenty of other sexy teams to talk about now.

    Every time one of our players went near it last night the Bulldogs everywhere behind us yelled out "[censored] you, Pickett!", "you're a [censored] Gawn" etc. They really do hate us. I hate them too, but I'd forgotten I hated them until last night, simply because we won the important game that mattered last year and shut them up.

    Interestingly it is all about aexy football at the moment. Offense is clearly beating up on defences at the moment.

    Afl will be happy

    You're right, it's written into folklore now. My father is a Collingwood fan and still can't get 1970 out of his head. It's the price you pay, we're not here to be liked.

    M.Lloyd. “They didn’t lose after R17 last year, where as this year they have lost R17, and R19”

    Pretty easy to dig up last years fixture and see that we lost R19 Matthew. 

    Other than that, interesting and good points.

    Just wondering did anyone else think Frisch was a bit stiff not to be paid a mark from behind Khamis in the first quarter? Looked like two clean grabs & would have been a certain goal.

    • 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?
