I’m the opposite.

Just give them the flag now and everyone else can take their holidays early. They will beat Brisbane or Port by 50+ points in a GF.

They are scary good and they’d be delighted that Geelong are nearly out of the race. They were the one club that could’ve troubled them.

Hah ! I was raised on Collingwood dominating home and away seasons only to [censored] it up in grand finals.  It's a long established tradition and I hope its due  for a return

    I'm not a hater. I hate Mason Cox.

    Not sure if anybody here has watched “Veep”, but Mason Cox gives off strong Jonah Ryan vibes. 
     

    if you’re going to be up up yourself, maybe try not to also be an un-co dork wearing safety googles.

    Not [censored] mate, they’re reducing risk of injury, mind you that’s only appropriate for other teams… not for the Dees.

    The pies have won today because they can kick goals and north cannot. Far from outclassed. Give us Larkey and we win the flag.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Lachey continue his Ben Brown succession plan. 

    Would also be happy to see Darcy Moore emulate his old man's career path.

    If this was Melbourne playing, Demonland would be in meltdown with whingers wanting a bigger winning margin and sprouting doomsday scenarios

    I wonder if the Pies going into KB after two easy kills will work against them. 
    I’m probably dreaming

    Adelaide continue to impress, especially at home. Very happy we play them at the MCG. They look very very polished.

    Not taking anything away from Collingwood because they are a good team, but I am more confident against them than I was against Freo and against Carlton.

    You probably need to embellish a little here. 

    Genuinely can’t find the logic in saying the form team of the competition is less of a threat than Carlton.

    can you imagine Larkey in a decent team?

    he is the most accurate set shot i’ve seen. 30.8 this year. and he plays games in windy Tassie. 

    imagine home abs JVR and Fritsch next season?

    also wouldn’t mind Lukocius

    The stuff of dreams Dub!

    I watched us miss 4 or 5 set shots that I reckon I could have kicked ( despite my fat guts).

    It cost us the game!

    Sidebottom massive out for them. All being well they cop a few more injuries against the Eagles. 

    Agree with you Jaded. Soft kills of North and Eagles not great prep for the Pies. 

    Just hope we have Oliver back for the KB game and we rise to the occasion. Anything can happen.

    I’m just worried that if we lose to the Blues we go 7-5 and then a loss to the Pies is 7-6. Top 4 let alone top 8 looking dicey from 7-6 at the Bye.

    Timing has a lot to do with it. We're in a slump and spent literally half the season to date interstate. We've gone periods without Gawn, May, now Oliver, Salem, Hunter, Pickett, Petracca played hurt for a few weeks... atm we look like a middle of the road team. Which we might be. But we're losing games we probably kind of sort of expected could result in a loss. Some seem genuinely surprised by Freo, I was frustrated during the game but in the pre-match thread I said it smelt like a loss was coming. Form means something, some of the time. 

    Carlton just seems like the kind of team that could push us on current form. They have the talent up forward and some pace. We really struggled against them last year and probably stole the win. We should win but won't be surprised if we lose. They are also due for a win. They aren't anywhere near as bad as form line suggests. Evidently neither are we.

    Collingwood will be coming off a trip to Perth albeit against Wet Toast, and on a day less break, with a six day break from today through to next week. We stay in Melbourne and lead into KB's with a 10 day break, potentially Oliver back, Grundy and Max with another game together, Salem with more fitness, Hunter back.

    I just think the game is primed for us to kickstart our season leading into the bye.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
