That was a impressive win by the blues.

Collingwood were full strength.

Carlton were missing, McKay, Walsh, Cerra (2nd half), Kennedy.

But they had a 6 day break. A six day break! The nerve of the AFL😂

    Nice win... i told me lil storm cloud and son the Blues were a good chance all week with the Pies coming back from a rare away game (and a biggen at that)  plus a filthy lurgy floating about at their dirty lair.

    They just laughed and thought i was crazy.  Usually they're right of course!

    And on cue Brayshaw starts the interstate, 6 days break, wet night last week narrative 

    Personally, I'd like to hear more of it. The pies def looked gassed - understandable given the intensity od last week, travel and six day break.

    I reckon port will struggle to come up to, though luckily for them the crows are coming of a tough game and a six day break.

    I see the flu excuse is being trotted out by Pies fans already...

    You know what this means don't you, for the media... Carlton will join Collingwood, Port and maybe Brisbane as the only real premiership contenders. Geelong might sneak into some people's calculations.

    Meanwhile…the Jaws theme begins as another contender lurks beneath the waves.

    Because Kosi and Melksham won us the game last year that basically killed the Blues finals chances

    Didn't they have allegedly have some flu ahead of their loss against us?

    They seem to have a bad habit of getting crook in the lead up to games where the oppo go super hard at them and apply huge pressure.

    Unlucky for them that's what finals footy is.

    Must have also struck them down in the lead up to their two high pressure finals they lost last year.

    Watching the Pies players continue with manic football in the last minute only confirms for me that they risk burning out before the end of September. I don’t care how fit they are, how they play and the number of games they’ve needed to play to the death, means they’ve spent a lot of energy to this point in the season.

    Pies have not a single injury. They have options to manage and rest. They didn’t.
    Cox a total liability and he can’t play with Cameron and McStay IMO. 

    As we know tho, wasting all your energy trying to claw wins from the jaws of defeat every week is physically and mentally taxing.

    Totally agree.

    And they are the hunted every single week.

    Howe up forward?

    They pushed him up forward in the 3rd Q 'bin'...it took Hodgey until nearly half way into the last Q to notice it.

    About the time he kicked his first goal.

    I've always said our expert comments people are the best in the business and really keep us informed.

    Collingwood's disposal was generally atrocious. A good sign of fatigue.

    But I know what shampoo Nick Daicos uses, so if that’s not information for you, I dunno what is.

    So I saw it from halfway through the final quarter. Moore got torn apart from Curnow, port supporters would be wondering how Elliott kicked that goal but misses directly in front tonight.

    A shame port couldn't knock them off last week & bring them right back.

    Anyway it's good they lost. Lets hope Sydney can do the same tomorrow to the bummers

    JB said they're coming off a 6 day break, they are coming back from Adelaide, not Perth or Darwin. it's a 30 minute flight.

    They were just outplayed tonight

    Lots of panic when their backs were one or two out with Curnow. He gets lots of free kicks.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
