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

    Itโ€™s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourneโ€™s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourneโ€™s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.ย

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
