Cats can’t get it into their fwd line at all, Pies helped by favourable umpire decisions on around their half back, but gee the Pies play fast

    I could only listen to the game. In my opinion Collingwood is a serious contender this year.  I hope I can say the same for the mighty Dees around this time tomorrow night. GO DEES!!!

    Did you seriously downplay the Pies for this season, layz?

    Most I know were predicting at least top 4 ... they are probably the most skilled team in the league and are getting better

    The Kings Birthday clash will be an absolute ripper.  But who starts favourite? 

    I had them in the 8 Macca. Great unit across the board and I think their back 6 is among the best but they still have a lot of their best players over 30. Not sold on Cameron holding down the ruck spot for a whole season yet.

    Good side but was expecting a step back this year.

    Pies will be a real threat this year. We already can’t beat them at the best of times…

    Scott thought he could beat them in a shoot out. Next time they play you can bet they’ll play that horrible slow keeping’s off stuff instead.

    Their run last year was tremendous.  Their ball movement from half back through the middle and into their forward line is something a lot of other teams can learn from.  Precision skills

    And they are quick   The Daicos lads don't get tackled (for instance) ... just like their old man!

    They are a team we need to get past if we're going to salute

    So without kicking a ball in anger yet we’re now equal premiership favourites on Sportsbet and TAB.

    Not sure if UK bookies follow their Aussie counterparts in setting their odds but I jumped on the Pies at 5.0 with the Cats just 3 goals up from fewer scoring shots. Feel dirty but that’s tomorrow’s beer paid for!

    We've had our troubles with the Pies but we can beat them.  Don't ask me how, ask our coaches and our MC!

    We're going to need a good plan as it's hard to get the ball off them when they're firing.  And a lot of their scoring opportunities emanate from half back with continuous possession

    It seems I have greater faith than you in the Dees. I base this on knowing that we learnt much over the past few years.

    For instance: how to beat Geelong when it mattered after countless painful losses: round 23, 2021 to take the minor premiership. Smashed them in the Prelim 2021 also. Won the Premiership in 2021. Apply the same to all comers this year including Pies and with ordinary luck/injuries and we'll have every chance to take anybody anytime.

    Bring on Kings Birthday. I can't wait to see the Dees take the Pies on.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
