Ponies? Is that meant to be Pies or am I unaware of what this might otherwise mean?

Just something Mr Ed told me. 

 

I think its funny that the Toothless brigade are keen for a little gingivitis….

Why can you never solve a crime in the Pies cheer squad? They all have the same DNA and no dental records…

Wowee! Pro violence and a dig at mental health in one post. Well done

Really? I am having a dig at mental health, because I think it's ludicrous for every second player to come out and hide behind mental health every time they have to deal with a negative narrative? 

That is the epitome of minimising mental health, and it actually takes away from those who truly are battling mental health issues. He was fair game getting stuck into Gawn, but he can't cop it the other way? Give me a break.
A kid who really is suffering from mental health issues, is not putting himself out there like he has. He was happy to cop the praise, so he needs to be happy to cop the negativity coming his way.

As for violence, I said I hope he gets tackled high for no frees. I did not say I hope we injure him.

Get off your weird high horse.

You know nothing about the nature of his mental health. Nor do I. But you are saying he is faking mental health because he can't take the public backlash. That's called minimising the complexities of mental health

Empathy not your strong suit, obviously

Carry on

Tonight we'll continue to build on last week and show the competition how good we really are.

You are right, I have no idea of the nature of his mental health, and I did not suggest he is faking it. I just find it odd that it wasn't until a journo prompted him to comment on it, that he suddenly said, oh yeah it's taken a toll. Seems very convenient.

I have all the empathy in the world for anyone who is battling mental health issues. I have no empathy for clowns who put themselves firmly in the limelight and when they don't receive the reaction they hope for, they conveniently say how difficult it's been. Was it also his poor mental health that caused him to post defamatory Tik Tok videos talking trash about women?! 

Collingwood has a long history of letting their players get away with pathetic behaviour off the field. Ginnivin seems like another in a long line of absolute tools, who is being encouraged by his club and the fans to behave poorly.

Sorry @binman - should’ve been clearer: Bala as in Balaclava! A much easier trip, but can sometimes take ages to get on the train afterwards with these size crowds, especially with kids.

Then I've got nothing!

i'm not sure they have any dna, well at least not human dna

We are a well structured and disciplined side.

We are playing a rather arrogant, high risk to reward team. If a few words can get them to try a different approach, then they will be playing into our hands.

We will build our wall and have a strategy to blunt their corridor runs.

I can't see them going with another strategy other then fast footy and pressure.

We will outlast them. They could drain themselves early with having to chase us, and to get the ball in front of us, then all the better.

I reckon, it will be the 3rd quarter that decides this game. Don't let them get momentum and we have this. 

 Salem to hit his straps.

Petracca to kick straight. 

Kossie and Sparg's to light it up.

 Gawn, to feed Oliver with a duck entree, a Mag pie, and the sherrin on a platter.

Be ruthless.

Go Dees

It appears on the weather forecasts apps that I am looking at that most off the rain (showers) should stop by 7pm tonight.

So for all of those who can , rock up to the G tonight and see the mighty Dees crush the Pies…..If I’m wrong, apologies in advance… come and see us crush them in the wet.

On another note: does anyone have any clever tips for parking at the G? Normally, we train it in from Bala’ but want to make a quicker getaway tonight with the kids. Any ideas?

Northern side of the MCG parkland, amid the trees within 60 metres of the ground, enter through the corner gate, north-west corner. Park there all the time for night matches, arriving moderately early (and if you have a 'disabled' card, it's free!)

Attendants are really helpful - getaway after the game is a breeze, as well.

Yes you did

Yep, I'm nervous. I hate when there's enough of an pattern to bring superstition and hoodoos into the conversation.

But the opportunity is there to guarantee our spot in the top 4.

Rationale:

Puts us out of reach of Freo & Carlton. Meaning all three of Sydney, Magpies and Brisbane would have to finish ahead of us with at least 15 wins and percentage.

Collingwood's percentage is showing off the fact they've won their last five games by a combined total of less than 5 goals. They could only then pass us by winning both the remaining games (16w total) while we lost the lot.

Sydney play Collingwood next week. Obviously only one of them can get a win which means only one of them could get past us.

So I'll reaffirm; this specific win would guarantee our spot in the top 4, even if we botched the final two rounds.

I can't comment on an individual player but I have some sympathy for Jaded's comments taken generally.  It is a bit like food allergies.  Lots of people jumped onto the glutin intolerance bandwagon (for example) but had no real problem.  The only good thing to come of it was that as result there is more warning labelling of food and menus. That must be a great boon to the genuinely glutin intolerant.  I'm not sure that sort of benefit applies with mental health. Perhaps it does.

It’s getting a bit ordinary on here.

Agree.

Let's get back on track.

Confident of a win tonight just as I was last week. Adams missing for Collingwood leaves them with a significant hole which means our midfield MUST dominate tonight.

 


I'm taking my tin  of Brasso to the game tonight with a clean rag.

Win, lose or draw I'm passing to Ed as he walks of the ground so he can go home tonight and give his Premeirship Medal a quick polish.

Adams is a decent big bodied mid that they really could have used tonight. I'm hoping to be pretty physical at the coalface and exploit this. 

Would be great to see BBB come out firing after his 2 week break.

4 goals to him, 3 to Kossie, 3 to Max

Oh yeah!

 

Bring on the Filth.

Last Pies game i sat in front of the most foul mouthed, bogan, arrogant and utterly pathetic supporters ive ever encountered in my football viewing days. One even coughed all game right on top of us until i finally moved at 3/4 time.

The crowd seemed to be worth at least 3 goals and being a Collingwood home game and the way the game unfolded, they definitely had the louder voice.

We need to turn up both on the field and off it.

With the inclement weather on the cards i think it will be close and decided by a few kicks in the last.

Dees by 9.

  • 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.

    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.

    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?
