Sydney were not ordinary when we beat them. They were equal first on the ladder and hadn’t lost a game at that point. They’ve dropped off significantly since copping a mountain of injuries to all their key position players. 
 

 

Definitely not getting any meaningful work done today.....

Game days on work days genuinely annoy me.

 

Very suprised still by Salo's inclusion - really would have thought 3-4 ressies games to build some match fitness after the back to back lay offs.

Rivers to Midfield to cover Sparrow. 

Grawndy to have a field day by the looks. Should be a solid 36point win on the road

Going to be that person - my MFC vibes tell me we're going to lose this one.  Our form isn't great and the forward line is crunchy at best.  

Crunchy? I don't know what that means but we are the highest scoring team in the comp

If we lose we’ll be 1-2 against the top 8. 

I get the sentiment but with limited opportunities to test our game against the top 8, I don’t know if a loss will mean our gameplan has to come under question. 

If we lose, Port will have beaten us, Brisbane and the Dogs. They may well deserve to be in the same conversation as Brisbane (no one currently is in the same conversation as Collingwood IMO).

Yep Collingwood are looking good enough to choke in another GF.

COLLLLLLIIIIIIIIWOBBLES

thank christ Salem is back - i dont care if he is rusty!

I know Spargs is good at it but the reason so many of us complain about our I50 entries is because Salem has been missing, Its usually him hitting those kicks or delivering to someone in open space - i cant wait to see it again thought he might not return the way it was going

You can only beat the teams you play, we are going ok, only times we lose is if we are complacent and let them get the first quarter.

we play hard from the start a small relax does not hurt as long as the flame gets lit again.   Go hard demons

I hope T Mac has a ripper tonight WCW, I feel he doesn't get the respect he deserves from some. He has given fantastic service to this footy club over a long period of time. I'm thinking there's some fight still left in him.

Spot on, DZ. He looks really refreshed and he seems to be in a really good headspace. I’ve found him a little reserved on occasion, even a little moody. But this morning he was almost playful. It’s like he’s walking on air. I reckon that bodes well for tonight.

Could also possibly mean that he was just incredibly happy to see you WCW!
Whatever, I just hope you haven’t put the moz on him. If he plays badly tonight we’ll know where to look.

I was chatting to Shane at the WCE game and he stated “Taj was a lock for round one had he not dislocated his finger”

Steve may said much the same thing in his Demonland interview

We've had some good wins but against middle of the road opposition.  When the forward line doesnt work it looks horrible.

Of course should we win I'll be the first one on here praising our beautifully functioning  forward line 😁

Is goody wanting BBB to play at Casey to get him into form and play him towards the end of the year getting him ready for September?

Because I thought before he hurt his back he was in good form.

Yeah, I'd prefer BBB over TMac too. I think his form has been better.

However.... It's now or never for TMac. He really can't afford another poor performance.

Maybe they're giving him one last chance. If he can't deliver then I assume they'll settle for a Fritta, JVR and BBB forward line and give them time to get cohesive in the second half of the season.

Hope he has a belter.

A few good wins but are undermanned big time at the moment.

We have got this.

I hope we rise to the occasion. Big Friday night game against a top performing team. 
Soft games are good, but too many of them can see complacency kick in. 
A big contest is just what we need to spark a really strong 4 quarter effort.

Win the next 3 and we are a real contender. 2 out of 3 and we're up there.

1 out of 3 and questions will be asked.

Zero out of 3... insert your own conclusions

Big Game tonight !!

We just have to win…..it is the start of the weekend….. and I want to be happy for the rest of it….. simple as that. GO DEES!!

It’s 6 degrees here, raining and cold af. And only 12 hours ‘til game time!

Good times 😳

 

It’s a good thing I packed nowhere near enough clothes; carry-on being only 7kg limit. Warm clothes are so overrated anyways, amirite?!

😳

We thank you for your sacrifice, WCW. Go Dees.

I'm getting tired of the argument that we haven't beaten anyone decent, at a point in the season where we've only just played half of the competition this has to be the mootest point going.

There were plenty of listener questions on the pod as well. One even suggesting we could be the worst 7-2 team of all time. If this is what success is all about that I'm happy to keep beating up on teams under us!

I think I see some sun, let’s hope it’s not wet.  I think we play better in the dry(I also support better when I’m not wet )

It is such a cheap trick when people make sweeping statements about games in retrospect.

"You beat this team but then they turned out to be garbage so that win is null and void" 

That was and still is a great win.

Twitter abbreviation for the game is Jar v Nar

sounds like two pirates having an argument

It’s imposter syndrome, if it was cats or lions or pies we wouldn’t think any think less of them. Having said that the next month will show if we deserve to be equal flag favourites

Nah, in the situation, give'em the Gee up. They love fans, and often declare they play for us. @WalkingCivilWar

If you are quiet and not give the support, then, I reckon that is the moz.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
