Just once will a team slow the ball down against Collingwood and make them defend. Whatโ€™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.ย

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

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.

Well well looky what we have here

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.ย 
That 2nd Quarter was one of the most dominant i have ever seen. But they couldnโ€™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.ย 

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.ย  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.ย  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 spendย  more energy defending.

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

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

Just have to turn it into the biggest boghole imaginable.

ย 

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

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Nightโ€™s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourneโ€™s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, weโ€™ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binmanโ€™s Stats Files. Not because it isnโ€™t important; quite the opposite. Itโ€™s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourneโ€™s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last yearโ€™s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although itโ€™s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sundayโ€™s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to foolโ€™s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven Kingโ€™s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
