Great quarter so far! We'll take that. 

We've dominated with so many forward 50 entries but just not connecting as we would like. That fine! That's the upside in the game that if we can just connect better we'll win.

Go dees!

Did I see Fritsch limping off towards the race then? 😬

Happy to be in front against an always-difficult opponent on a ground that is difficult to play on.

Sydney's contested marking is giving them some looks, and our fumbly ball handling is costing us at times.

We dominated that quarter.

It's not his ability to get the ball It's the decision making.

And his soley one-sided 30m maximum kicking distance

I thought Nathan Jones was commentating for the first 1.5 quarters, turns out it's Burgoyne

Same!

How is nobody seeing how wild these set ups are? 
That we are still winning is insane. 
Hunter in the centre bounce. I laughed so hard.

Thyroid issues can really kick one’s butt. I suspect that’s been the major cause of Salo’s problems this year. 

Sure from A fitness point of view, but watching where he is running to or when he has ball in hand (over the last few weeks) has been so unlike himself. But you might be right. 
tbh if it wasn’t Salem he would have been dropped a few weeks ago.


Very tight, pressured, squeezed kind of game with lots of pressured turnovers. Liking Turner. Full team defence looks strong. The SCG is so tiny it makes for a scrap, and most goals will come from mids and small forwards. Tidy our kicking, we win well.

Just making our thoughts plain. Sorry for differing from your opinion.

How do you rate his tackle pressure and disposal?

I rate his tackling and disposal on par with Langdon's and miles better than Jordon's.

FWIW, I fully endorse diversity of opinion but Hunter has randomly been a whipping boy on this site all year. Langdon had a long form slump in the first half of the season and he didn't get nearly as much criticism as Hunter does.

What? Surely they would talk about this on the coverage. Lord give me strength!!!

Very scrappy game but looks like it’s getting on dees terms that qtr, should break in our favour if we continue

The dislike for Hunter on this site is really embarrassing and cringe. He's been consistently good this year and will possibly finish in the top 5 in our best and fairest.

And by the way, he is a way better player than Jordon.

I totally agree, except for the bit where you used “cringe” as an adjective (and yes, I know, I know, but they’re wrong too). 

First year at the club. People need to chill. 
 

 

Our backline is just so much better with Tomlinson in there. He’s not superstar, but he plays his lockdown role well enough (88% one on one win rate, best at the club). He allows the rest of our backs to play to their strengths. It’s almost become comical now watching our defense turn to water when he’s dropped.

We’re just cruising today so fingers crossed for no injuries.

lib party preselection and no more commentary work for c7 will suit him

lmfao ...

Half time

Just not quite taking our chances inside 50 

Gawn. Brayshaw. Fritsch.  Melksham (loved that mark and goal) 

🤯🤯Salem. 
🤯Kozzzy 

🤔Turner some good and some not good 

Strstegy - defensive…2 or 3 behind the ball and two down at stoppage but we’re winning clearances !!! 


There is a scenario where we would play Sydney in a 1st Semi final if they play/beat Carlton and we lose to Collingwood (if GWS won today).

Sorry, that's the 20 year old in me

I’m liking the forward line setup. Not so much Rivo and Maysie taking shots for goal!

Does anyone else reckon Rivo looks like Adam Ant with his sunscreen?

Only if there is a quick whistle blown in time for the player to make a decision. If the umpire hasn’t blown the whistle for the first free, the player has no choice but to play on because no free has been paid yet.

Well at time we will agree to disagree because players just keep going.

Interesting call from Buddy to do a farewell at the SCG but not do anything at the Grand final.

I guess Sydney is his home now and he's played there for years. Nothing more to it?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
