Vince McMahon would have been nothing without Hulk Hogan, who cares.

You see how dangerous it is to make sweeping statements like Eddie's? If it wasn't for the late 1890s depression there would be no CFC, that depression built that club and they would be nothing without it, people should not underestimate it. 

 

From a Melbourne perspective the Ponsford thing doesn't bother me. We wouldn't fill it anyway so it doesn't really impact us. If we get to the stage where we can pull big home crowds then it will be an issue (as it is and should be for Richmond) but until then let them have it.

What annoys me though is they get the home change rooms regardless of whether it's a home game or not. Might seem like a small/insignificant thing but if it is then why do they request it? It's a mindset that they are the home club regardless of fixture so in effect they are getting 14 home games a year with the Ponsford seating/change room deal. Good on them for being able to wrangle that but surely it's time the MCC put a stop to it.

Oh and by the way Eddie Collingwood members did not build the southern stand, AFL members were the ones contributing funds to help build it.

Collingwood are on the defensive because they are trying to salvage a deal which clearly benefits their members. That in itself is fine. 

Its the recreating of history that I strongly object to. Collingwood knows they do not have a real claim to the G, and had nothing to do with the construction of either stand (which were constructed for the '92 Cricket World Cup and '06 Commonwealth Games respectively), other than moving home games there. They cannot compete with the 160 odd years of history the Dees have with the MCC and ground.

The most frustrating thing is their supporters read this stuff and believe it...

This whole narrative should be motivation for every Dees fan to get to King’s Birthday this year and ensure we completely outnumber the scum bags. Seriously had it up to here with Collingwood rewriting history. Last week Kelly said they were the first MCG tenants, now this garbage from old big head Eddie. It’s our turf, time to let ‘em know

Our players and coaches need to take responsibility to actually go out and win the game too. Our shocking record against Collingwood is probably the biggest knock on our current era.

Yeah we do need a win in that game.

Breath taking in its arrogance. And the MCC members? What were they doing all those years?

An utter crock served up by CK and EM.

And that's without mentioning the Cain Government which oversaw the Southern Stand rebuild by offering loan guarantees. I remember John Cain fretting over what the public would think when they realised the stand would hang over Brunton Avenue. (They hardly noticed)

Yep, and our club needs to own the day and make members aware of the importance of being the 19th man. Time to get it done

I’m calling B.S on this. Collingwood supporters can’t read.

you are definitely correct.. the old Southern Stand was built in 1936-37.

For its day it was a great build with the new Southern stand not being that much of an upgrade when compared to the new Northern stand that replaced the old Northern stand which was itself newer than the old Southern stand

Did someone in this thread really say I should be appreciative of McGuire giving us home QB for a few years?

Ridiculously favourable draws, far less travel, etc. they got enough breaks to throw a few bones out.

This historical revisionism is vile, nearly up there with those Americans that say “we never talk about the ‘good’ slave holders?!”

  • 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.
