Gerard Healey comparing Jimmy Stynes to Mason Cox. Give me a break. 

 

What did he actually say? I mean Jim achieved the ultimate in the game as an individual. Was picked in the State of Origin side. Cox plays one good game every 8 weeks. They were talking up his player ratings. It’s laughable to compare them

    Toby made the right decision for his career leaving Melbourne, he still wouldn’t be getting a game with us. 
     

    Some really interesting games next weekend.

    Collingwood are going to be in the grand final aren't they? They're likely to win it. 

    I mean we can't beat them. We haven't beaten them in years.

    Right on. That’s the defeatist attitude to live by.

    He was gushing about Cox, how great he is and how he came from the U.S. and learned our game and blah blah blah then almost as an afterthought he tacked on a throwaway line to the effect of “…and Jim Stynes came over from Ireland.”

    Just on the subject of Cox, that USA chant makes me sick. It’s one thing to have the American flag in the crowd (I have to say that’s ok since we wave Irish flags at our AFLW matches for our Irish girls) but to chant a player’s nation is bs. Why only an American player?????

    Collingwood miles ahead of everyone else and they’ve got multiple players to come back.

    The only thing going for the rest of the comp is that they have peaked too early and will run out of gas.

    Everyone said we were miles ahead last year too at round 10. And we all know how that turned out. 
    Smashing GWS at the MCG without Toby Green is not a premiership winning achievement ffs. 
    Yes they are setting the tone. Their game plan is what we’ve all adjusted to and they are hard to beat. But they aren’t impossible to beat and player vs player we have a superior list of talent. We absolutely can win it this year. But we have a lot to work on. Lucky it’s only May.

    Yes. Not close as a player or a sportsman, philanthropist or an all round humanitarian. Gerald Healey hang your head in shame.

    Barely noticed Nick Daicos today yet he has had 40 disposals

    He gets a few by kicking out after a behind and getting a handball receive when he runs past a player who's taken a mark.

    We have a great record against the pies in grand finals. Beaten them 6 times while they have beaten us just the once.

    They can be beaten, it appears some on here would lie down very quickly.

    Adding to that we’ve still got Carlton twice plus Richmond, North and the Hawks again. 
    Games against Port, Pies, Cats and Lions crucial to our top 2 hopes.

    No excuses not to finish top 4, top 2 very desirable.

    Absolutely. 

    And after this Round likely Top 8 wont also change now just the final positions. 

    Newbies from 2022 will be port crows and saints. All deserving.

    Bombers and Blues can whistle Dixie for rest of the season.

    For those that have the Pies pencilled in as premiers, no premier in about 20 years has been outside the top 6 at defending inside 50s.

    Collingwood look very good, but no better than we did this time last year and we all know how that turned out…. 

    Loooooooooong season and anything can still happen.

    Melbourne, Collingwood, Brisbane and Geelong all seem a cut above the rest at the moment.  Port Adelaide, Crows and Bulldogs also a chance on their day.

    They've played mostly the same teams as us but got close to Collingwood and port Adelaide. Honestly we have had a softer draw 

    I said fixture, so taken into account the draw and the travel as well. They’ve had a very easy run.

    Yeah I don't think we're in a position to accuse other teams of only beating up on lower teams.

    I love how we are poised this time round. I'd rather be underdogs on King's birthday.

    Pies appear to be so even all over the ground. 

    Their midfield of De Goey, Crisp, Mitchell, Daicos, etc. bat deeper than probably every team including us.

    They may be vulnerable against our dual rucks though...

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
