nah, we're r00ted. rain band all the way back to radelaide

Maybe I’m reading the radar movements the way I would like to see things….. There is a bad patch coming now but I reckon (perhaps hope) that the worst of the showers will past us (or to the north of us) by 6pm or 7 at the latest🤞

I thought we were ok in the rain.

We're fine in the rain.  Just makes for unpleasant viewing.  It will be worth it at the final siren though.

Hope we are floaters and not sinkers 

 

Good work Richmond station. You have the Melbourne Storm playing on one side and Melbourne v Collingwood on the other side and they have both sides shut so you have to go the long way around. 


I was hoping we would beat the pies by 96+ points and put them into negative percentage territory. The rain has scuppered that particular wish unfortunately

No, it’s fake news 🙃 Rain hail or shine, I’ll be there - GO DEEs

ps I’m looking at an App ‘Windy’ that gives me the info I want (for all I know, this could be an app endorsed by Qanon).

On a half serious note, I have been caught out many times by referring to BOM’s hour to hour forward forecasts when it indicated rain. I think if you read into details, if there is a chance it will spit that will show up as rain. 
When I look at the Apple hourly forecasts (they obviously use different interpretations of what is ‘rain’ ) quite often it will show it will be dry - and to me more often than not have shown a more accurate or realistic projection 

Sadly, before I hit ‘send’ I just noted they both forecast rain! So …..I hope Windy is correct but I’m losing confidence.

On the upside, either way, we will smash them

Rain appears to be easing.

I went to a game in the ‘70’s, horethorn versus Fitzroy. My mate couldn’t stand Normie Goss. Every time he went near the ball, my mate booed. I remember thinking half way through the third quarter, “[censored], Paul is booing a lot”. Goss touched it 35 times. :-)

Actually, thinking about it, Goss would have won the Kingsley had it been awarded in the 1970's.

(Far out - - - serious madness setting in when a poster starts quoting himself.)

Clothesline GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

The way the poor bugger is being umpired he wouldn't get a free for that!


Melb by 10 goals. Even in the wet.

Miocek and Howe very questionable.

Adams out.

May and Lever will slaughter Miocheck or even that Giraffe.

Hibbo will smash 

Salem and Angus will mop all night .

No fear. The Deez are here.

Just went to the demon shop and bought a nice little pin set to add to my scarf. A nice little max gawn one holding the cup and a trac norn Smith medal one. 

Anyway at least at Richmond station they finally opened up

The poor bugger should stop dropping the knees.  The one against Essendon that caused all the uproar was only a mistake because it lingered high and became overly agressive.  AFL's call was contact was only high because JG lowered himself so intially the call of play on was correct but the "make him earn it" aspect that wasn't called a free was the error.

One thing you'll notice tonight is how insufferable the Collingwood supporter base are towards the umpires. By far the worst of all clubs.

All it will take is one marginal free kick go against them or not paid to them in the first quarter and they'll all be out of their seats and booing the umpires for the rest of the game as if they've already cost them the game.

Last week against Port, they booed and hurled abuse to the umpires in the AFL members both at half time and full time (despite actually winning the game) because they couldn't get over the fact that Ginnevan didn't get paid a free in the first 5 minutes of the game.

All the more reason they should get nothing.

3.4mm rain so far

small chance the rain band that should arrive about 8-9pm might pass to the north - let's hope

Edited by daisycutter

 

I just hope it doesn't get that close.

I really hope Viney comes out with the same mindset as last week with his brilliant tackling

Us winning the Flag last year changes everything.They are not equal to us they are in the pack trying like six other clubs to knock us off in a lousy lead up game.Bring it on because everything changed last year .We are Premiers until someone else is...

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • 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.
