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.

Slowing the game down will help them. You have to take them on, be fit enough to outrun them.

    It will take a defensively minded team like St. Kilda to unlock the key to beating the Pies. 

    There time will come, its all helter skelter with them.

    They have shown there hand way to early in my opinion.

    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.

    Spot on. They will hit the wall.

    Pies also go back off the mark, to get closer to where the ball is going, to help team mates and are being allowed to do it. That adds a player to a later contest.

    Are you saying they prefer the 'outside 5' option vs standing the mark Mr Leg?

    Or....are you saying they initially stand the mark then walk backwards away from it even if they oppo hasn't played on yet?

    Wow. Richmond have kicked more Goals. 
    That 2nd Quarter was one of the most dominant i have ever seen. But they couldn’t kick Goals!!

    Amazing

    As good as Nick Daicos is and he is good, he can not defend.

    Neither can Collingwood generally. I think to beat them you have to attack hard.

    Tigers came out with a refreshed attitude and kicked straight. 

    Looked a contest for a while but now Colonwood are kicking goals and (8.25 to go Q3) look like they have settled.

    How do you stop Collingwood?

    Try and win the clearances and contested including contested in open play.  Make it an insane rugby style lock down stoppage game in the first half.

    A run with on Pendles & Sidebottom.

    A hard lock on N Daicos shared between two players...

    The first player softens him up with close checking/heavy hitting in the first 2 quarters.  He is then subbed off for a slightly lighter tagger who can bring the heat but also great running ability going the other way to damage and make him spend  more energy defending.

    They only way. 
    Out run them, they will keep going, slowing the game down is pointless

    Collingwood remind me of Melbourne in 21, not the style but the team buy in and pressure. I can’t believe people are still doubting them, they look like they will be better this year than last year.

    Can anyone explain why the umpires wear their fluoro yellow/green tops with dark grey/black shorts to Richmond games.

    Happened in the carlton round 1 game as well, yet they wear blue to North Melbourne games....

    Is it really that hard to wear different colours than the competing sides??? They have access to many coloured shirts

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
