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.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
