Probably the most boring read of any game preview I've come across.  Up to page 12 and still not a word for next week’s game.  Their fans have all but given up on the season and now turning on a few of their players. 

  • Thank you Rory, you've been a wonderful player, but shouldn't be selected again
  • Changes??? I couldn't care less anymore.  The only changes I'm interested in are changes at the end of the year.
  • Continuity matters. Still mathematical finals chance. No change. 
    • That will absolutely loose me
  • Why bother even starting this thread.  when we know that sloane, sholl, murphy, mchenry are going absolutely fxxkn nowhere.  they wont be dropped. Not a fxxkn chance.
  • I would think so highly of Rory if he announced his retirement this week. Or that he didn't want to be picked, and will play 2s for the rest of this year. And maybe next.
  • I have no idea what they can do with Sloane. He's miles of it, but there seems to be some delusion about where he's at.
  • Powaa has no problem dropping their captain. Sloane isn't even captain and the club is scared of the reaction from the Facebook brigade. Fmd.
  • I can't wait for next February where we argue which spud deserves his spot in the best 22 only for the happy clappers to talk about what amazing depth we have.
  • We push Murphy from the forward line up to the stoppages because it's the only thing he's good at..  The other team doesn't care about him because of his poor skills so we gift them an extra in defence.
  • If Crouch or Himmelberg are playing on Sunday I'm not going

Poor Rory!!  Imagine if we had talked about Jonesy like that.  No respect being shown to Sloane.

I'll check back in a few days and hope they have something more interesting to say.

 

I’m surprised they know any of their players names.

 

Sloane has given his heart and soul to that club and has had some big personal off field tragedies to overcome at the same time. 

To think his own supporters can talk about him like he’s yesterday’s trash is pathetic. 
Then again, they don’t build them smart over in SA.

Disappointed there wasn’t a post about how we’ll crush them or about how overrated we are.

They don't even realise there is a game this week let alone who they will be playing!

Good! Let them forfeit the game, we'll gladly take the 4 points plus rest our players 👍🏻

 

Honestly it looks like Demonland pre 2021. And even sometimes since.

But as much as I despise that club, I do feel for the fans... a bit. That club self destructed in a big self inflicted way, so I don't blame them for irrational anger.

Heart - us by 153

Head - us by 28

on their day they look really good .... on another day they look so meh

their supporters ... perennially meh


Maybe they should listen to the Melbourne theme song over and over again in preparation for the match?

Still time for a quick trip to Camp Grenada! 

Sounds ridiculous but  I still rate the Crows. They run like scalded cats, have a decent midfield and sometimes an effective forward line. Sort of game where if we are slightly off we'll be licking our wounds. I reckon they are as good or better than the Don's, Freo and GWS and we know we fared against them...

Doesn't sound ridiculous at all.

A good team, who have genuine leg speed, quality across all lines, potent forward line as evidenced by their crazy good percentage, a strong sytem dialled to run and carry like the pies and buy in.

They won't be as flat against us as  they have been for the last couple of games, and I expect them to be running on top of the ground on Sunday and present a real challenge.

My expectation is they will attack, and look to run at as with handball chains and wave running a la the pies.

If they can beat us or port next round, I think they’ll make the 8.

I don't think they'll beat us, but I reckon they're a huge chance of beating Port, as Port will struggle defensively with  the crows speed of ball movement from the back half (as do we if not on).

Crom are a good mid-table team. They're falling off as the year progresses but they looked really good in patches. Almost close to top 4 quality. Suspect we will (should) deal with them easily this week. But I rate them with GWS and Hawthorn as clubs I'm not generally worried about but am still kind of sort of worried about (see: Alice Springs game).

Yes, Crows are all about meh meh meh - possibly because too many are of German descent and don't know how to spell ME. ( Hopefully, the same doesn't apply to you. You certainly don't look German...)

The poor little duddums.....all drowning in their "floaters"...

 

Ahhhh ..glorious news....great way to start the day.

Come Sunday....we're baking pies...   4 and 20 Blackbirds....    they won't be singing

I can confirm this. I was born in Adelaide and last night I was looking for my phone for a good 2 minutes while holding it.

I've done that looking for my glasses...yes, and phone. I think it depends also on what part of Adelaide...

Agree, no such thing as an easy game for us for the rest of the season. Even North will be tricky, my understanding is that Clarkson resumes control when we play them.

Hope we get a lot of supporters turning up this Sunday. Almost embarrassing at times the way Choco, Goody and even Petracca are almost begging for fans to turn up and make some noise 

In the meantime…….One game at a time.

  • 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?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
