Collingwood have definitely played the most exciting brand of football this year, but their fairy tale was not to be.

Oh, damn.

    And of course it will be all about the Papley mark and goal and nothing about the Collingwood frees forward, or non frees against … or Darcy’s kick across goal.

    Be fair they only tried in the last quarter.

    Counterpoint: it's Collingwood, so let's not be fair.

    No No just Howe's two stuff ups in the third.

    If we weren't banged up like we were then I believe our gameplan and list would have delivered us another grand final. Yes I understand the excitement of using the corridor but boy it's risky.

    I'm defo not sad that they've lost, but the way they play is bloody exciting. If they'd gone from 17th to a grand final, that would have been ridiculous. I'm relieved it hasn't happened though. I really like McCrae as a coach.

    The secret to winning flags is to be there or thereabouts year in year out, then wait for things to go your way. Exhibit A: Melbourne Storm.

    [censored] yeah, the Swans did us over and embarrassed us.

    They just will not lay down.
    As a supporter you couldn't ask for anything more.

    Yep, you might hate the club but their style of play is probably the best.

    Quite possibly the least interesting two teams we could have.

    It’s frustrating because if Melbourne were still in it I could see us easily getting out to a 30 point lead and then choking against either of these two teams.

    The game plan would not have delivered us anything. As the plan evolved or maybe a better description is degenerated over the second half of the season, banged up players or not, we were barely a top 8 team.

    Yes but the 3 years prior they lost in a gf, preliminary and a semi. 17th was the outlier.

    My god Sydney nearly choked then. I was dead set certain the pies were going to steal that. I had images of them kicking a goal or receiving a free kick.

    But then I think how sweet it is they lost by 1 point & how all there supporters paid outrageous flight prices to travel and now they have to fly, drive, bus or train it home miserable.

    But the kicker for me is knowing Jeremy Howe will not get a chance to have a crack at a flag this year and he didn't have a great day

    Sort of satisfying that the close game specialists lose two finals by a goal or under

    On my way home from the Swans - Pies game.

    Hilarious. A good time was had by all. 

    The Sydney crowd is a different beast to what it was evenfice years ago. Glorious voice. The duelling & duetting slow chants were magnificently efforts of mutual irritation.

    Up in the top of the stand where I was, the building was actually shaking from people jumping up and down to the Swans song.

    Again, good time had by all.

    Poetic justice that you went out the way you’ve won it all year. 
     

    Now Sydney, for the love of god, do us a solid and smash Geelong next week.

    Boy you hopped off our band wagon pretty quick. It was only 4 months ago they were saying we were unbeatable with our game plan. What changed….injuries.

    And he won't have in the future, I have the feeling this Collingwood team will digress/Plateau next year. Hopefully they also will have to keep carrying Grundy's contract

    • 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.
