The only good part of us being out is that we deny Geelong gloating over a revenge PF mauling.

    Half way though Friday nights game I thought we were going to win but I realised we would not beat Geelong. They looked tired, injured,

    Swans to bring Pies down to earth!

    Cats to tame the Lions.

    I just hope that the swans will chew up the filth and spit them into the gully trap they belong in. Hope lions win as well but it hard to imagine it will.

    If the Pies held on against Geelong last week, I honestly think they’d be in the box seat to win the 2022 flag.

    They would’ve faced and beaten Brisbane in a prelim and gone into a grand final with absolute sky high confidence.

    As it turns out, they’ll be playing in front of a pro Sydney crowd at a venue that probably doesn’t suit them as much as the MCG.

    Geelong 16.7.103 - Brisbane 9.9.63

    Sydney 11.13.79 Collingwood 9.12.66

    Looks like the airlines have jacked up the cost of tickets to Sydney.2022-finals-ticket-prices-for-swans-vs-collingwood-magpies-melbourne-to-sydney-airfare

    I wouldn't be too impressed with this:  "The SCG holds 48,000 fans, so only 28,0000 tickets are available for club members. The 50-50 split means Collingwood members have been allocated 14,000 tickets, but that could increase should Swans members not take up their entire portion".

    100,000 fans trying to get 14,000 tickets!

    I thought the PF had become the Final for club members.  Bit ordinary that 20,000 tickets have been reserved for corporates, sponsors etc.  I suspect that is more than is held back for the GF.

    It’s really hard to care. I wish nothing but pain and misery to all 4 sides remaining

    An embarrassing night tonight for the Melbourne Football Club - this contest will be akin to the 2019 GF or maybe even... the 2020 prelim💡 A ridiculous one sided spectacle that will only do nothing more than highlight our poor 2nd half of the season and the 'what could have beens' of an epic prelim clash between a defending premier with the highest ceiling, and the best team of the current season.

    Of course I'll watch, and I'll hope the Lions win - but it will be with very little fanfare and it will be akin to watching NM try and beat WCE in an away prelim in 2015 - ie a lost cause that will barely last a quarter or two - a story that we all know the ending to, even if it is close for 3 or 4 quarters - one team will always have the other at arms length, ready to flick that switch and win easily by a few goals.

    And even if the Lions were to get up in a Hail-Mary-Cats-Choke of epic proportions, it will do nothing but fuel even more Coodabeen Champion fantasies on DL

    Absolute Lose/lose situation. 

    I hope this prelim stings the players.

    What does it matter if they [censored] the bed tonight. As long as they beat the Magpies tomorrow night.

    Use to travel down to the Aust Open and watch Hewitt loss in a tough five setter,  only to see the player that won go on and win the title. Would rather see The Lions or The Swan take the title now but know I feel the same way after. Should have been us.

    A prelim loss for Geelong would make my Friday night guzzle all the more enjoyable.

    Would almost feel like a win. 

    And to see Howe out tomorrow night would just be icing.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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.
