Well if the Tiges aren't capable of giving the pies a game I hope the pies give them a belting.

    Tonight’s game is making last night’s game look good! What a shocker!

    I have never seen a game where a side is being absolutely slaughtered but only 3 goals down!!!

    Do you think they would do better with Dusty, Broad, Short and Hopper?

    Gee Richmond look like a shadow of its former self. 

    Collingwood just run and get free for each other. They look so quick and are making the tigs rush their kicks. 

    Jack Riewoldt looks so past it, but knowing our luck of course he'll probably find his form when we cop them.

    I think you have to play the same style 

    Waves running forward…

    Richmond's kicking is sub standard, and their defensive pressure absent. I cannot believe it is only 20 points.

    You get the ball first and keep possession until scoring.

    They run in waves, so you nearly need to man up and commit to running all game. If you stand and watch you lose.

    You need to also physically pressure Nick Daicos.

    Just once will a team slow the ball down against Collingwood and make them defend. What’s wrong with going slower and longer into their defence when they have a hole in terms of size there?

    I feel like we are all being forced to watch them play every weekend and hear all week about how they play, only to watch the games where it seems like the opposition coach has never seen their game plan before.

    I hate to say it but the pies look good, their pressure to cause turnovers and the run they generate from it is [censored] scary, they should be up by 60

    The Richmond midfield is still terrible. Hard to see them as top 8 let alone top 4.

    This is what I could never understand about Taranto and Hopper. They both played all year last year in the same GWS midfield - which looked well off the pace. How getting them to Richmond this year was going to make them so much better always baffled me.

    Richmond like us last Friday night lucky to be as close as they are at half time. 
     

    Collingwood’s running backs / midfield group are the best in the comp in my opinion. A very strong team and going to be hard to beat this year.

    Short definitely. Hopper maybe. Dusty is close to the end so he'd have to turn back the clock. Broad is a decent defender so would help repel the tide. So overall yes they would be improved but not sure how much difference it would make tonight. Pies bad goal kicking keeping the Tiges in it.

    The Pies are pretty good I have to say.

    Their awareness of each other’s positioning, smarts, and skills…

    Tigers are just applying enough pressure to cause them to rush goal kicking - plus some lucky moments…

    Also very disciplined and structured in defence (in fact all over the ground) - numbers at the ball / contest but generally only one contests the ball, the others ready to receive and run it forward

    Might be a good thing if the pies go undefeated for half a year playing this brand of footy, it will definately take it's toll. No team is fir enough to play like this all year then in finals I don't care who you are. Would love to hear all the hype about them to see them go out in straight sets in the finals coz they are buggered.

    Yes but they are running in waves from every line. As you say 2 receivers running forward ready to collect. 
    each line has exactly the same mindset

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
