    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. 

    Thought the same thing. Just hope it's not the same result as we had.

    That free to Elliot (behind scored) for "dragging it in" was carp.  Tiger did start to drag it in but never controlled it, and the Magpie tackler nearly pulled the defender's head off.

    Surely HTB must first mandate a legal tackle.  High contact / tackle must surely always take precedence?

    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 

    They are a very, very good side. Sad but true.

    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?

    Always the first and then the second when they can get away with it. If the kicker takes a step sideways, they start moving backwards, beating the umpires play on call, who let it go, as the kicker is off and running.

    Just a little tactic they use, but it is the wave run that is winning them games and a fierce desire to win every contested ground ball.

    How was that not holding the ball against Daicos??

    They're genuine premiership favourites for me right at this minute.

    I hate games like this: the lesser of the two evils get your hopes up a couple of times only to go down to the greater of the two evils. 😑

    I agree, it’s very early on but it feels like there a lock for a top four spot.

    Long way to go. Got to keep a healthy list first. But they definitely have the hunger - that’s for sure.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
