Today would have been a good day to go down to Centrelink if it was open.

Take heart that this will have done more damage to Essendon than good for Collingwood. A net gain for civilization.

At least we don’t overreact here at Demonland.

We flogged them in the pre season praccy

Saints are a serious team. Disciplined, well drilled, defensively minded. Their three key defenders, relative unknowns, are dominating. Their small forwards are doing the job. One of my pet hates is AFL fans falling for star individuals over collective team effort/system. Blues had Cripps, Walsh, Curnow, McKay, Weitering, Cerra, etc and were no match for the Saints.

St Kilda could be the real deal. Don't get all up in my face with what you perceive to be a lack of quality opponents they've faced. The key word is 'could' 

I think they ARE the real deal and they’ve beaten three teams that are at least 3-3 with two of those sides being in the top 4 at the time of playing them.

Lol…some Carlton fans on the forums want a mini rebuild and a coaching change. You have just have to laugh at some reactions directly after a match.

At least we don’t overreact here at Demonland.

Random stat, but George Hewett had 29 disposals for only 30 metres gain.

How is that even possible?? Just seems incredibly low for so many possessions.

Hewett's not the worst in that category, but he's right up (down?) there.

FEWEST METRES GAINED BY PLAYERS WITH MORE THAN 25 DISPOSALS*
Jaeger O’Meara - 25 disposals for -1m gained (Rd 23, 2017)
Jack Macrae - 30 disposals for 1m gained (Rd 2, 2016)
Cameron Guthrie - 33 disposals for 21m gained (Rd 22, 2014)
Daniel Cross - 28 disposals for 22m gained (Rd 1, 2012)
Matt Crouch - 25 disposals for 29m gained (Rd 5, 2016)
George Hewett - 29 disposals for 30m gained (Rd 6, 2023)^

I would imagine the reason metres gained is so low is that most of his possessions were either a kick or a handball backwards or across the ground or a handball to a teammate running past.  I'm guessing "metres gained" is only counted when the disposal sends the ball forwards (towards goal) or the player is running forwards with the footy.

How does one gain negative meters?

His first movement is backwards and that is why.

I don't think the fact that some of their opponents were top 4 at the time of playing them means a whole lot in the first 6 weeks.

Right now Fremantle and Carlton don't look like finals sides. So their wins over the Dogs and Essendon look good. But even then, I'm not sure Essendon will keep it going all year.

Plus they're yet to play a non-Gather Round interstate game.

Collingwood IMO is miles in front of any other side for flag favouritism. Geelong's beaten two (not even) VFL-quality sides and a Sydney side missing its back and forward lines. St Kilda see above. I'm unsure on Essendon keeping their form for another 18 weeks. Sydney's depth is non-existent and unlike previous years they're going to need it in 2023. Brisbane will win enough H&A games but they still don't defend well and have to get better away from the Gabba. Adelaide struggled to beat Hawthorn and strike me as a massive flash in the pan style side. Port Adelaide are hot/cold. Carlton have problems all over the place.

As for us? Well, I don't know. But I know we're not as good as Collingwood.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
