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.

Pies have a heap of finals experience as well as exciting young talent. People judge them off the back of 2021. They've played in 10 of 15 finals series since 2007 and all of their experienced players have big game performances on their resume including three grand finals and one flag. They are a genuine flag threat. Weird everyone has been writing them off all season.

    The Swans will be a brick wall next week

    Sydney v Collingwood looks like a cracker on paper, as long as the Swans win.

    I’m jealous watching Collingwood play such an attacking brand and going deeper into September than us despite an inferior list. After years of waiting for finals at the G again, watching us live the past two weeks was torture. We really need a gamestyle adjustment over summer or we’ll waste our window.

    Hopefully the Club, to the core, feels the same way

    Exactly right.

    They’re a proven quality side that simply had an off year in 2021, with off field issues all over the place.

    No doubt every man and his dog will predictably write them off against Sydney, despite going the distance against the 2022 premier elects in Geelong.

    This win that Collingwood are about to scoop easily, this is the exact type on win we were supposed to get last night.

    I can’t believe people are still underrating Collingwood, their sadly a very good team. Their midfield is bloody good they have a more skilful and smarter group than ours, their backline is solid and they have some very dangerous forwards. And there playing a style that suits there strengths and are a chance to win the premiership.

    Yep and hopefully the coaches are already hard at work trying to put a system together that will hold up against the attacking styles because it was definitely our weakness.

    I reckon Sydney have the work ethic and best balance of skill and determination, and Geelong have Jeremy Cameron looking like the best player in the comp.

    Long way to go yet.

    Just goes to show and remember that the rest of the season is just prep work for September.

    Need to get the game plan right through the year while winning enough games for top 4. Getting the squad fit at the pointy end

    Making sure you have enough guys running through the team through the year for every scenario - I called for JVR to play against Nth Melbourne, reason being he wasn't going to blooded in the lead up to September and it proved a bridge too far to debut him in finals ( despite Brisbane doing that exact thing in wek1).

    Need to be smarter off the ground

    I'd be fine with that. I will be shattered after beating us if Sydney lose to Collingwood. A Collingwood Geelong would be a nightmare. 

    Credit to pies fans though in turning out. 90,000 against freo is a good number.

    What a crap weekend of footy. Even the storm are out now

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
