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 watched the last quarter of the 2017 QB game on Kayo, where Jack Watts kicked the sealer. The ball was parked in our forward 50 for most of that quarter and our pressure was fantastic. Another game like that tonight (with a bigger margin) would be brilliant.

    And I'll never forget the roar from behind us at that Punt Rd end when Jack kicked that goal. Goosebumps.

    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".

    I'd be happy with the headline tomorrow re-introducing another word from that era as in "Colliwobbles strike the Pies"

    I don't mind what Ed said about this game, just because i think it could get into the Pies heads a little bit. reality is they may have won a string of games, but they're 3rd with a percentage of 106% which suggests to me they're not winning convincingly, they're winning close games. 

    hopefully we give them a really blunt reality check tonight and send another warning shot to the competition. 

    I reckon the Cats form is just starting to drop slightly as well so can't help but feel we're building at just the right time again to give another flag a very serious shake.

    On the subject of booing: it’s likely Langers will attract more than his fair share tonight. Maybe only for the first quarter or part thereof, since average Collingwood supporter = attention span of a moth. 
    I hope they boo him loudly and often as that’d mean he’s getting a lot of the ball. 
    That said, we (DA) will try our damndest to drown them out. Hopefully all Dees peeps join in!

    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. :-)

    Loved Jack. He’s still one of us in my book.

    It’s the greatest demon roar I’ve ever herd!

    Just amazing

    I remember being so happy for Jack. One of the great modern day Melbourne moments… & I’ll never forget it.

    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’d go further. If you’re playing for the free, whistle > free kick to Deez> + 50 metres > goal Deez > filth loose by 1 point.

    Thanks Dayzy. At one stage I though he was going to be the next Peter Hudson. Turned out more Waterman.

    Just had a look at the BOM and it appears these latest showers maybe?? the last. Could clear by time of first bounce. Mind you I'm up in Qld so got no idea really. Needs to be a firm track as I picked Dees by 43 points.

    Seems that way, most of it over the next hour or so?

    Loudest roar for a Dees’ goal I’ve heard at the G!

    Absolutely sensational!!! It was a great result.  Watts ran so hard from half back to create the opportunity.  
    And love the reaction. And Jeremy 💩Howe’s disappointing face

    • 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.

      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?
