    At least Essendon is out of the 8 and they can stay there

    As seen last season their win at the death game wins a lot of games but doesn’t stand up in finals.

    Curious, have you ever come on this thread to talk about other games?

    All I see is your negativity towards us.

    Bugger it. Thought short break would have cost the pies in the last. Crows should have been out of sight before then. Adelaide were poor in the last. 
    Pies deserve to be top but they are beatable 

    Pies would have won by 5 + if it were a normal break between games. Crows missed an opportunity

    Pulled the shutters up with 4 mins left. Most here would agree that 4 mins was more like 8. They needed to keep creating chances, they literally invited the Collingwood method in through rhe door and stuffed it.

    Really wanted Adelaide to do us a favour, but justice was served in terms of result. Umpires need a full review at the end of year, I just get the impression there is not a big enough base to produce all the cream required for top level. I mean FFS, the standard atm makes Razor look good.

    I think Collingwood's best is only 4th or 5th in the comp after Melbourne, Geelong, Brisbane and maybe Carlton, but they look to have the smallest gap between their best and worst by a fair distance.

    I’ve been watching footy all my 5 decades, and this is the best last quarter team I’ve ever seen. By a galaxy. They are also currently the best team in the AFL, it’s unarguable. And I hate it. 

    Calm down lol

    They’re good but I’d pick us or Geelong over them still.

    5 goals to Weid? Nice job son.

    I also look forward to seeing your thread bumped for the whole week again.

    This thing with the filth is a mental game play. They know they can come back and beat a side in the last quarter and the opposition have it in their head that the filth will over run them. Change this situation ( another side beating the filth in a tight last quarter ) a couple of times and watch them start to fold.

    Of course, everyone’s beatable, they’re just the hardest to beat. If it stays that way through September, the flag is theirs. 

    😆 I’ll happily come back to this when we’re hoisting the flag

    Melbourne v Collingwood is the Grand Final that the Australian Football League, and Australia, needs.

    If we ever come up against the filth in a final we just have to tag Nick Daicos, completely shut out of the game.

    unarguable? i’d argue the best would be judged by winning flags. they just fluked a win against a team that finished 14th last year. if the crows kicked even just a few of the dozen of points they would have won. sure they have great belief but they are nothing special

    • 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?
