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.

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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
