Well, I'm heading off to the G and intend downing a few pregame thirst quenchers.

If, as my Cardiologist confidently predicts, the big one arrives today, may I land and splatter as many filth supporters as possible.

 

A great memory on this day 6 years ago. Will never forget the noise, let’s hope for a similar ending.

JVR seems to have the qualities to be a big game player. Going into beast mode in the 4th quarter against RFC has been my season highlight - for the spectacle and the potential it portended. 
Too much to ask for a repeat performance, but if he can play like he did against CFC, it will go a looong way towards us kicking a competitive score. 

I'd prefer a consistent four quarter performance, rather than 1 great quarter. A lot to ask for a young KPP though.

I feel good vibes today. I believe any residue draining away of bathwater has been completed and players will respond accordingly. 

There was a d'lander by that name i believe?

If we win then no we're not.

If we lose then yes we've been loading all season.

Exactly the answer I was looking for Dazzle

For my hearts sake I hope we bury them a good deal earlier and deeper today.

Just took a deep breath, visited the Collingwood FC Reddit and scanned for more info about this, then exhaled. 
 

Not much info except for speculation it’s flu. Could be ripping through the team right now. 
 

The worst thing I read while I was visiting that dark place were the amount of people saying Oliver and De Goey missing the game is “like for like”. 
 

Current AFL Fantasy rankings have Oliver at #2  

Jordan De Goey at…….#69  

I’d call them deluded, but that might be one of those words they’d need help with. 


 

 

One day there won't be a complete outnumbering of Pies to Dees fans on the tram.

Ha, you give new meaning to the reference: " the big one at the G."

Cardiologists....phfff.

Only if they offer free dentist work all across Melbourne


i hope Gawny gets some revenge and we see Cox in agony on the turf 

Anyone looking for a pre game laugh pop on twitter and search for that club that lost just night. They have a post about their shop being closed today. Some of the comments are gold.

Lot of Collingwood supporters here but all I see are gate receipts. 

Did you do the walk to the G. Nothing but red and blue as far as you can see.

2017 was the last time we’ve beat the Pies at the MCG. We owe them today. Get it done Dees!

We know that’s not how Max rolls, though. 
 

 

 

Pies are out on the ground so I'm going into hankie alert mode. Keep my eyes out to see if any Strepsils are passed around as well.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
