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.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
