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.

I'm a bit  confused about that Red  ..... nonetheless  I have squashed a few sheilas over the years

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.

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.

One can only hope!

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

…Collingwood infected cloud.

Yeah, that’s better. 3 words. Better.

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… 🤷‍♂️😊

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
