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.

We need to stay 4th now and play Pies in week 1 at the G.

Yep

GWS

Freo

Carlton

any others ?

Just to be clear we beat Carlton. That was a goal.

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.

Lol, as it stands now we have the best percentage in the league.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
