    What I’m most looking forward to this weekend in order of preference (aside from our game of course)

    1.     JVR debut

    2.     The Western Derby #deathride (would be no.1 any other weekend)

    3.     Geelong going 0-3 (more of a wish this one. Come on Suns)

    Don't know the rest and we all know why...    🎼

    I see that St Kilda are celebrating their 150th anniversary this weekend.

    Among all the celebrations, the parade of their Premiership Cup should be quite the spectacle.

    Well .... they certainly won't need a Moomba style float!

    They'll  be able to push it along in a ribbon bedecked wheelbarrow. ( maybe sponsored by Bunnings)

    I reckon there would enough timber in those 27 (count 'em, 27) wooden spoons to build a suitable vessel.

    I'm betting tonight will be a free kick bulldogs night.

    You were right.

    Four goals from free kicks out of 10 goals, for the dogs.

    They started the game with a free kick advantage, then they became even, and by the end 21 to 15. So the first 4, then the last 6 (calculated guessing).

    How do they get that advantage and some with "ify" and soft calls?

    Good prediction.

    Of all the Victorian teams bulldogs have received a blessed run the past decade. Interstate team like numbers.

    Tonight's game could be a beauty. 

    Great test for the tigers, their young brigade should be fast enough to keep up with the manic style of Collingwood. 

    Whether they are skilled enough? 

    Collywobbles seem to be the benchmark early this season.

    I will be surprised if it is a beauty. There is every chance that the filth will [censored] the tiges on current form.

    Tigers lost 4 good quality players. their depth is seriously being tested.  their bottom 10 players are poor

    Pies will smash them.  will be over by half time

    Except for our game this year where surprisingly we got the rub of the green.

    Im still a bit iffy on the Pies as well. They look great, but i have a hunch that once their vulnerability is exposed, it'll be a house of cards moment. 

    Not many teams will have the ammunition to do it, but i think the Tigers who apply a lot of ball carrier pressure will at least be able to slow them down on transition. Contest and clearance has been a weakness for the Pies in prior years and Mitchell has been a welcomed addition.

    Pies will win, but not as much as others think and i reckon we'll see the first signs of vulnerability tonight - just a hunch.

    I really really really hope you're right. For such an expansive game style they're playing like they get the answers to the exam beforehand.

    Cox out injured. It could get interesting if Cameron gets an injury too.

    Bit of rain around tonight, wonder if that might affect things much

    if it sticks around, it will for sure. No way the Pies can move with speed tonight. Will be a territory battle with surge like ball movement... That is the tigers 1-wood.

    It is why I thought the umpires had stopped giving the Dogs the "iffy" free's.

    Last night showed me, no change.

    How would Collingwood go in the wet?

    Head over the ball and determination may outdo, skills and speed.

    With the wet, I reckon it makes it a closer contest and probably, a low scoring game.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
