I think @12345_54321 deserves an apology?

Certainly individuals as always so quick to shut peolle down without actually giving them a decent chance...

    How can Tommo be dropped?

    Was one of our best defenders last week. And isn't Petty undercooked?

    If this is directed at me I asked a genuine question. I didn’t shut anyone down and certainly won’t be apologising. The poster ‘guaranteed’ us something last time which didn’t eventuate. I’m entitled to ask a question this time around and don’t go playing the nice guy now all of sudden now dd.

    All I said is that I hated his info. Still do.

    I don't agree with dropping Tomlinson, and I am a firm believer that we won't win a flag this year unless we get another decent tall marking target up forward, which seems to be Petty.

    I suppose it was the old three into two doesn't go.

    Once you assume Petty fit one of Smith or Tomlinson had to go.

    If this works it may be a master stroke as both Petty and Smith can play forward and back thus allowing flexibility in weeks to come. Mind you I'm not convinced that Smith is a forward but it's all part of the ride

     

    The betting market has come in slightly in Geelong's favour if that means much.

    Geelong $1.96 - Melbourne $1.84

    Gamble responsibly. :P

    I’ll wait to see the teams named before thinking this could be the dumbest selection in MFC history…

    100% thought you were going to say - Mind you I'm not convinced that Smith is a back but it's all part of the ride. 🤷‍♂️

    Thommo!  Don't have to be dead to be stiff!  Thought he was fantastic last week.

    Great game - given a chance to shine and seized it well. At least he is on the bench. Very handy for clearances/spoils.

    Overall, the team looks strong, adaptable and able. How will Badloss configure the onfield? Who will nullify Close, a significant feeder and gatherer?

    I was late to this news but I am strongly opposed to dropping Tomlinson for Petty. It just feels wrong. Tomlinson’s game against Collingwood was too good to warrant Petty being an automatic inclusion. The harsh result should have, as unfortunate as it may be, been imposed on Petty, not Tomlinson. 

    Jordon for Spargo the correct call in Oliver’s ongoing absence.

    JJ gets a game ahead of Bowey. No Oliver, give him the time he needs. Whilst it’s disappointing the club seems really focused on bringing players back fit and ready to play. Salem a great example. Be really interesting watching Petty tomorrow night. He looked comfortable forward against the Hawks so where’s he playing tomorrow??

    I wish they would end all the smoke and mirrors stuff with Clarry.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
