Now proud to call him a son of a Melbourne Brownlow Medalist 

He’s now on my ‘I wanna hate him but I can’t’ list, dagnabbit. 

 

End of Round 6.

Dees have most points for, and 6th fewest against.   Pies and Bombers dropped significant % today. 

Doesn't mean much at present but leaves a nice feeling till at least Saturday evening.

My iphone overheated  when Daicos put Pies in front. I had to turn the radio volume right down but it made no difference. Noise when Pies kick a goal is deafening. Imagine being out there on the bloody ground!

Definitely helps Collingwood win games.

They never give up.

 

QB we need a hard tag on ND. i don’t care what people say you can’t have a bloke sit off the play and collect forty 95% uncontested possessions. 

i do not subscribe to the idea that you cannot curtail that for an uncontested player. 

bring in Harmes. he will smash it 

One for the who gives a stuff file.
No team so far has won the week after playing us.


Wonder if Nick ever wakes in the middle of the night to see Josh standing over his bed staring at him.

Sorry to disappoint but Cats have us covered by 2 points for highest scoring team.

Makes last week look not too bad…. Bombers have worked out the pies - pressure pressure pressure, no corridor opportunities.  Have to be able to go HARD FOR 4 QTRS to beat either of these teams.

That aged well.  Pies lifted, Bombers crumbled.

Bummers play Geelong next week. Looks like they are due for a bit of a slide down the ladder

Collingwood outright premiership favourites for me.

Nick Daicos unfolding in front of our eyes is just pure greatness. 

Premierships aren’t won in April mate. I still think our games matches well with theirs.

What is even more worrisome is that they have gears. They can turn it on when they need to win games or just stay in cruise control to preserve their bodies.

 

Yep.

They're next level. Hurts me saying this but I honestly enjoy watching them play. So exciting with their brand of footy and admire McRea for turning this club around on field.

Yup. 

Port tried to tag him, (the port bloke didn’t do a great job) and what it showed is Daicos is QUICK from a standing start. Goes from 0-100 in a couple steps. 

Whoever tags him needs to wear him like a glove and be physical. 

Even then, he only needs 10 minutes and  he can take the game away from you. Unreal player.

if he is that quick you can get a smart tagger to, at times sit off, goal side a couple of metres. tagging is a skill that is under-utilised in footy. most times ND gets it he is on his own. it’s staggering

No it doesn't 🤣 especially on form alone.

They've had the absolute wood over us over the last 5 years. One of our now bigger bogey teams.

We have only Salem who's best 22 to come back into our team whilst they have Adams, Murphy, Lipinski, Howe, Cameron and McStay.

Their upside is enormous compared to ours.

No-one draws attention to sideline signals as much as BT

He's actually drawing attention to himself by drawing attention to sideline signals.

I hate the filth.

Either of those boys would run rings around him, so NO, the Lions and Bombers to a large extent except in the last quarter, showed how to play them and it's simple if you are disciplined, it's not the first possession that matters it's the follow up possessions that hurt you, forgetting who's who the one that kicks out then runs on for the take disposal and the next one what you have to do is position yourself so he cannot do that the other one hangs back from the contest or he starts to run in thus his opponent goes with him and then he backs out and becomes a free man, all it needs is that one player at a contest stays with him it does not have to be one person and thats called discipline.

lol "it's simple" no one can even understand your run-on sentence let alone enact it on a footy field.

 

I know this is not ground breaking stuff, but the pies supporters are next level. Every time the camera cut to the crowd, middle fingers a plenty.. 

Commodore circle work tonight & Woodstock bourbon cans for that lot.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
