    Great result with Port (& Collingwood) going down. We just need Fremantle to win tomorrow. Could we finish top? We need percentage tomorrow and then the gap to Collingwood will be purely 2 games.

    Sorry, I got a bit ahead of myself. We'd need to win by more than 10 goals tomorrow to top Collingwood's current percentage.

    I'd rather they finish top. They would need to lose at least 2 out of their 3 remaining games and they play both Brisbane and Geelong.

    Top 2 guarantees home finals throughout the whole series and is not different to pole position apart from bragging rights.

    Edit: as you pointed out on another thread, travel is still possible if the interstate teams win both qualifying finals.

    If that was the happen it would be two weeks in a row that 1 2 and 3 were beaten.

    The run in doesn't look so cruisy now.

    Don't sleep on Sydney for finals. They are under the radar getting closer and closer as each week goes by to their 2022 form. They'll beat GC next week and I wouldn't write them off beating Adelaide in Adelaide the week after. If they win both they'll be 12.5 and that should do it for finals. If they lose to Adelaide, they'll then need to beat us in the final round to make it - huge game.

    There is no doubt that Daicos playing poorly severely reduces the overall quality of the Pies midfield. But Daicos is not an inside mid nor a contested winning bull.
     

    This is the main weakness of Collingwood. It’s why they went and got Mitchell. But he’s bog ordinary at using the footy and he’s slow as a wet rag. They keep subbing him off to try and get some more run in last quarters. 


    De Goey is the only inside mid they have who can really hurt you on the outside. But he’s inconsistent and mentally soft. 
    Their midfield is one dimensional. If you stop them winning the footy then by extension you limit Daicos as he needs the ball fed out to him. 
    Butters on the other hand can win his own ball and destroy you with it. He is far more damaging and hard to stop than Daicos IMO. 
    The key to beating Pies is to shut down De Goey and Adams. De Goey only had 17 today and Adams 13. Combined they had 7 clearances. Nash had 6 by himself. 

    Agree on shutdowns

    You also have to have someone halve contests with Sidebottom

    Better that way, we wouldn't want easy kills before the pointy end of the season.

    Should make up the 1% on Lions today if Freo's defence performs reasonably well and prevents a lions blow away score.

    Kicking 18 behinds we didn’t, it will be an absolute fairytale if they drop into a hole and lose games and go out in straight sets

    So had we kicked straight then it would have been and easy 30 plus point win?

    We smashed them around the contest and stopped their corridor run. We were able to put enormous amount of defensive pressure which saw them crumble under heat.

    So what you want, but the credit should be going to Melbourne for showing the rest of the competition in how to stop the pies, not the blues.

    The commentary on the AFL website has the reason for Collingwood's demise yesterday being they didn't treat Hawthorn with respect. Nothing of sides being able to implement the same blueprint to beat them.

    No wonder McRae was twitchy in his post presser. 😉

    Missed all games yesterday might as well have been on Mars. Catching up on minis now, what a performance by the Hawks! Showed composure where other teams have melted like butter this year. 

    Got laughed at for tipping West Coast understandably and got pretty close. Underestimate my tipping ability at your peril! 🤣

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
