Paging the Demon Army @WalkingCivilWar

Collingwood want to go from a point as quick as possible (usually from the ball bag behind the goals). If the ball comes into the cheer squad from a Demons point punch/throw it as far back onto the ground as possible.

The umpire will stop the game to get the second ball off, and give us the crucial few seconds we need to structure up.

Also... I got away with saying 'ball bag'. Cop that Demonland filters.

Love your way of thinking. Only one problem… oftentimes the ball that comes into the cheer squad takes out a pair of glasses or someone’s state of consciousness upon landing thereby delaying its return to play and by this time another ball’s been fetched from the ballbag.

edit: I deliberately didn’t put a space between ball and bag and still no censorship! Seems we’re both winners tonight 😃

    Watching this game, I can really see us giving the pies serious trouble in the finals. Like us, there forward line is their weakest link.  
     

    If you rob them of fast ball movement, they will absolutely struggle to score.

    I would’ve picked DeGoey and Howe as your two favs.

    DeGoey is in a league of his own.

    Another week that the teams behind us are gifting us the top 4 place.

    We take care of the Saints tomorrow and we'll be 4 points plus percentage in front on that tight race for 4th on the ladder.

    The media [censored] about the Pies is pathetic. Would think they have won their last 100 games.

    Don't like him - he reminds me of Stuart Broad too much

    No way!!!! Stuart Broad is painfully uncool. He has terrible posture. He walks on the balls of his feet like a toddler, he pulls the most exaggerated facial expressions and he wears that stupid white kerchief around his head which looks even stupider when he tries to put his cap on over it.

    What part of their footballing are you not impressed with?

    They’re a bloody good side - play with a lot of freedom and fun.

    Naicos seems capable of playing midfield without getting a speck of dirt on him, why can't we play one our smooth moving half backs thru there 🤮

    Any side performing as well as they have since midway last year would be receiving the same amount of media attention. 

    But don't let that get in the way of your hatred of them. 

    Also, @binmanand @A F, would love to hear a breakdown of how their loading is tracking vs ours.

    Collingwood like every side have their weak areas. 

    But they're streets ahead of us right now in almost all facets. And we are well behind Port and Brisbane. 

    They way they play is so exciting and attractive to watch. And they're just always in games, no matter how much they're down by. 

    Tomorrow is a true test for where we sit compared to teams 5th-8th.

    Can Goodwin inspire us to a comfortable win against a less talented side who have some significant outs? 

    I have little confidence.

    Well, watching Collingwood win tonight isn’t the best way to celebrate the end of dry July.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
