I think any club playing Collingwood will be very happy seeing Howe lineup in the forward line.

    Assuming we beat Hawthorn we basically need to tank the last game against Sydney.

    I heard there was a bunch of illness and general soreness going around the club next week.

    Dunstan, Harmes and Jordon to take the opening bounce.

    Further to my last post, the way Collingwood are playing tonight, they’re just as likely to lose to Essendon next week (who always rise to the occasion of that matchup) which would mean Brisbane would finish 1st. Finishing 4th and playing them first up, then Carlton if we lost, a disaster

    Ye gads

    If the cocky Pies drop the last game of the season top spot will be gone.

    The Lions deserve top spot. Haven't had a drop off all year, and lost 3 very close ones scattered throughout the year probably due more to their own mistakes rather than opponents being the better side.

    Not to say I think they're better than a fully fit Melbourne in September on the G though.

    Wow didn’t think of that.

    That would make Sydney a critically must win if Pies lose next week.

    So you think they aren’t trying two weeks out from finals? Rubbish. 
    They have nothing in the tank. Not even the air of invisibility that they had a month back. 

    Are you up with modern sporting trends?  Teams aren't serious in games that don't matter once they've locked in their pathway

    We're just a bit behind in Oz.  Which is par for the course

    Those here who follow the NFL or the NBA or even the MLB and soccer know what I'm talking about

    Collingwood really looking shaky especially in defence.  Are they that bad, or are Brisbane that good?

    Actually neither defence looks particularly solid.

    Remind me to not go on here next week when the 'IS RESTING PLAYERS RISKING FORM?' debate starts. I already avoid any posts that mention 'loading' on either side of that debate, haha

    Collingwood are going down like flies so I think I need to accept that Brisbane are going to win. Murphy looks like he's out so Collingwood losing to the DONS looks like a real possibility.

    Which puts us at the Gabba week 1

    So if you just heard Richo, he said no side in the last decade has lost more than 2 games between round 17 and 23 and went on to win the flag. This is the Pies third loss. 
    AFL is all about being up at the right time given how long and grueling our game and season is. 
    Pies have hit their worst form in August. Terrible timing.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
