You don’t think Brisbane is worried about their record at the MCG, given you gotta win there to win a flag? 

edit: I just listened to Fagan talk about this in the post match conference. He seemed to laugh it off but ultimately said he doesn’t know if it’s an issue or not. 

After losing to a bottom four club coming back from a big loss in Adelaide i can assure you.... he now knows it's an issue.

Going by your avatar, that doesn't surprise me one bit.

PS: Squash Courts are inside and you play in court, whereas in tennis you play on court, even if there is a roof.

If the Daicos bros have what I just had, I legit feel sorry for them.

I have never felt so unwell. 

Woke up with white tonsils, sore throat, headache, running nose... slept almost 20 straight hours. Zero energy. Couldn't eat. Lasted 2-3 days. Then suddenly better.

Can't see them getting up for Monday if they're still sick today. What's goint around Melbourne atm is brutal.

Apparently they are 10 times worse!

GOOD!🤣

They were paddling in that last quarter, which is why the hawks attacked with run all game.

Incomparable to their running power they have shown most of the season, including their first half blitz of us in round two.

It didn't look like a target match for them.

They are no different to us - it's all about September.

@binman interested as to why you think Brisbane have shown running power all season.  Statistically, they are at the bottom of running power and have only outrun Essendon this year.  My guess is it’s why they struggle at the G.  Also, the Hawks are actually a good running team and are the only team to match us in total distance and high speed distance this year. They are inconsistent like any young team though.

So it’s probably not a surprise the hawks, despite being near the bottom, have beaten the Lions, who have been pushing for top 4, each of the last 3 years at the G.  You could argue it cost the Lions a top 4 spot last year. It may cost them again this year.

There is vision of Nick Daicos training today on Collingwood’s social media platforms. Where are these rumours about illness coming from

Well I just spent about 3 hours around crowds at Rising in the city tonight and will be at the game with 85k+ on Monday.

I'm doomed aren't I?


Just had a look at the Collingwood training thread on Bigfooty forum.

- Elliott didn’t do match sim and apparently said to supporters that’s he’s not playing.

- McStay didn’t do match sim either.

- McCreey a solid chance to play.

- Cox trained well despite COVID rumours.

- J Daicos didn’t train due to illness.

Was comparing their running.power against the hawks to their normal levels.

You're right, they are not quick, or great runners, and it is no doubt a factor in their poor record at the g. 

But they had no spread at all in the last quarter against the hewks. No zip either 

And not much better in the second (I didn't see the first half).

That was not an issue until the last couple of rounds.

The hawks really looked to exploit that flatnes.

But as you point out, they have done so for the last few years.

The story is Christina Petracca has special edition footy boots for the game which will be auctioned to raise funds for MND 

Great gesture by him.

Very glam footy boots!!

Lets hope that all of these players under a cloud wake up feeling lower than a shizzenhuiser carters top hat!

Not concerned  but I would like to know the reason    I could not find a Casey side up either and they only have 5 hours to go      Has Melbourne got a dose of the poos   or has Collingwood ??

There must be a chance that more Magpies will be under a cloud  because of their interaction with the infected players recently.

@kev martin you popping down to Goschs this morning? I think some of us need some kind of update, the game is taking too long to get here.

Too many words and it freaks me out. Just say…

…Collingwood infected cloud.

Yeah, that’s better. 3 words. Better.


Just boarding a plane from Canberra for tomorrow's game, hope it's a good weekend.

The weather is at least looking promising. No rain is good news. 

If any Collingwood player have had the flu/covid and play they will fall in a hole in the second half of the game. Seen it before with teams including our own many years ago. The Pies also played in WA last weekend and are they have had an extra couple of days to get over it, but The Bomber are the only team to win after that trip this year and they just fell in. I am expecting us to run them off their legs in the second half.

Many views, but mostly I like to think this is about messaging from the media outlets, preparing the great Collingwood unwashed  for a loss. It’s either that or our game is now more transparent… 🤷‍♂️😊

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
