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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
