Have a look at Collingwood's kicking skills. I hate saying it, but it is brilliant to watch. 2 x Daicos, Elliot, Pendlebury, Crisp and on it goes. Unpressured or at a flat out sprint, they hit targets. 

And jut as I type that, they make a bundle of errors in a row.

    Pies have entered the dreaded zone of indecision .......... 26 points up

    They're doomed

    Melbourne have a patent on that one.

    Speed kills on the G and we don't have enough of it. At the game and the Pies are so quick. Also leaving Elliot deep forward makes the Dockers second guess their defensive structure. We need fresh outside legs and fresh ideas in the box as well.

    I have sometimes wondered if a “Pagan’s Paddock” with Kozzie as the  sole forward with the ball kicked deep over his head running in to goal would be worth a try.

    Hunt to the wing? Between Langdon and Hunt we should be pretty quick and explosive on the outside. Use Bowey as a link as well, Trac is explosive from the middle of the ground and kozzy plus Bedford in HF

    The commentators are dead set cheering for the Pies! When Schlutz took that great diving mark it was - oh, I think he might have marked it - in a full tone.

    Pies remind me if us in 2018. Young team with nothing to lose.

    Sure they’ll get smashed in the prelim but it’s fun to watch

    Interestingly, they are ranked #18 for kicking efficiency this year.

    Agree with that, except for the getting smashed bit.

    Collingwood will be competitive against Sydney next week.

    Make no mistake.

    Why couldnt the Pies kick like this against us.

    The commentary openly barracking for Collingwood is why neutral supporters hate Channel 7. Just call the game!

    Great to see push in the back has made it back in to the rule book. Not sure where it was last night

    Utterly embarrassing from Fremantle.

    Pies even more inaccurate than us last night but at least they aren't allowing the opposition a [censored] easy chance to get back in the game, unlike our breathless capitulation against Brisbane.

    Can only imagine how badly we would've blown this match if we were playing against Fremantle instead of Collingwood.

    Abundantly clear how much you need to pressure your opponent in a final. Still gobsmacked by our lack of intensity last night.

    Absolutely disgraceful that Pies will have a better season than us when you compare the stars we have.

    Honestly - thank [censored] we lost last night. We are not right this year. But the positive is I don’t have to see us lose to the Pies or even worse the Cats

    • 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.
