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. 

Bit of a misnomer this - they will play De Goey in the guts to compensate. He's extremely dynamic in there and has torched us before (one particular game I remember he had it on an absolute string)

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.

You mean they're not 22 Carat gold.

Go away...next you'll be telling us there's no Santa Claus !!!

I have been super jittery all day today. Can't wait for the game tonight. I want this win so badly!

I certainly hope that we have very good umpires tonight that are not overly influenced by the the feral army.

Not wanting to buy into the mental health issues discussed above (at least not in this post), I also hope the umpires don’t soften up on their interpretation of the head ducking rule because of after match comments from last week.

If you get caught high going for the ball - free kick. If you look like your objective is to get a free, rather than the footy  - play on. Pretty simple!

We’ll see what happens tonight

I don't think it is apples for apples personally. De Goey doesn't have the tank of Adams, not currently anyway. 

You're right though, he's lit us up the last few times and could make up for the loss of Adams if he has one of those days again.

Have a feeling this might get really ugly for the Ponies tonight. Hope I'm right. Dees by 60 plus. 

My god that would be sublime 🙏❤️💙

 

Feeling very confident about the game. I really feel like we're primed to tear the pies a new one

To quote a headline from the back page of the Herald Sun (circa early 1960s) that has stuck with me over the years: "Today's Magpies are Tomorrow's Feather Dusters".

That is magnificent! 

Can you still buy newspaper clippings for yesteryear?

Ditto. At the risk of sounding ‘Collingwoodish’ I find it incredibly difficult to articulate how I really feel about my disdain of Collingwood and all that it stands for by not being allowed to use a full array of expletives in these posts!

‘I just want us to crush these bar:$@Ed’s’ just doesn’t cut it.

They are just the yuckiest team. 

Weather update over there?

Currently at work and it's light cloud with small patches of blue skies... I am about 25km from the G.

Still no rain, just some stray drops. 

Grey skies, 

Certainly no downpours.

Hoping for the same as we head into the evening. 

I'm 6 km from the ground. Light drizzle. It's cloudy and I think may rain during the game but dossent look like it will be heavy like last week against Freo.

 


Weather looking pretty miserable for the game. Big Cox will be about as useful as one of those flapping inflatable figures at used car yards

Just had a walk round Abbotsford/Collingwood, kicking my can all over the place. Hope it helps

As has been discussed, the pies go fast and push up hard.

They will find that method harder to implement againat us than almost any other team, particularly their and aggressive fast ball movement because we are so good at forcing and punishing turnovers.

But if they do get forward, we are also better placed than any other team to get over or through their high press and scoring on transition from our defence.

Think of our very first goal last week.

The ball was trapped almost on freo's goal line and their half forwards and mids were pressed up high, the way the pies like to do.

Once we won the ball we were able to get through ther press and out into space.

Handball from trac to viney, back to tracc and a 60 metre kick to kozzie running back towards goal, having  started up around the half back flank.

His opponent couldn't go with kozzie.

Tracc could have chosen other options as all our forwards had pushed up and were streaming forward.

Took all of 30 seconds, and only for possessions  to go from one end of the ground to the other.

Bang, bang, bang.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
