I was mistaken, DD. So sorry for any confusion. We’ll be at the Punt Rd end in M3 where we sit for home games. This is a Collingwood home game but I forgot that they love their City end Bay (M33) regardless of whose home game it is. And we don’t wanna upset the Magpies cheer squad now, do we? 😁

No ....they'll have enough to cry,sook, whinge about ;)

Moore will come in for Frampton which then leaves JVR to take their next best defender and that's Jeremy Howe..

What a gold match up! Howe hates body contact and prefers to sit off and fly for a mark. I'd back JVR to easily put body Howe in a one on one contest.

But is Jeremy going to back...or stay forward ???

Could be Murphy

    Tbh... id take an 80% 21 ver Tmac..   that will do...any better a bonus.

    He knows what he's doing out there.

    ....and he can kick .....that sorta helps a bit lol

    Fritta,Jvr,  Bbb, Milk and all TMac are all good kicks.

    Even Sam Edmond is jumping on the Grundy bandwagon and suggesting he is as good as gone to Port or Swans.  Where do they get all these rumours or is it all click bait.

    Surely Grundy is a required player. Gawn could get injured in the QF especially if that yank slams his knee into him.

    Likely Collingwood line-up IMO:

    B: Quaynor Moore Howe
    HB: Maynard Murphy Noble
    C: J.Daicos Pendlebury Sidebottom
    R: Cameron DeGoey Mitchell
    HF: McCreery McStay WHE/Lipinski
    F: Hill Mihocek Elliott
    I: Cox Crisp Adams Ginnivan
    S: Markov

    In: Moore Murphy McCreery
    Out: Frampton Markov WHE/Lipinski

    Hard to know if McCreery replaces WHE or Lipinski. Could even be Ginnivan.

    Howe may play forward or swing.

    Has there been enough conversation for the last month, both from the supporters here and in the media for you to be persuaded that Brodie may be leaving? It'd be weird for these things to be spoken about if there wasn't an element of deliberation...don't you think?

    Unfortunately, the North VFL team were witches hats, so 5 goals isn't really a true reflection of where he's at. Hope I'm wrong though

    Agree

    The North game was unlike any MFC or Casey game you might see. It was played mainly in that area we generally abhore.. The corridor. North had innumerable turnovers (Casey had a few) leading to good forward 50 entries with players (wait for it)... dropping their eyes and delivering to the advantage of the forwards

    Yes, these imaginary people are despicable. If it weren’t for the fact that they may, or may not, exist - I would be throwing haymakers down at Nick’s.

    Been traumatised by horrible Collingwood supporters in the past.

    They still give me nightmares! 😱

    These journos are imbeciles.

    For a start Port has no picks. They have 37 and 42. Last year they traded their 1st, 2nd and 3rd round for JHF.

    does he though ??  just asking..  Moore and Murphy to come back in  ( more than likely...npi )  possibly releases  Howe to go forward again ?  Collingwood will want as much aerial competency agaisnt the likes of Lever and May .....  it's just a line of thinking  :)

    They will go back to way they started the season with Howe in the backline, they will go with pace on the forward line.

    With Petty and Melk out who will they bring in probably Tmac and he ain't quick and that will leave 3 taller marking forwards which would suit Moore, Howe and co the smart play would be to get our forwards to take moore and howe away from the ball and allow the small forwards to impact the game, I would also have kossie and Tmac don't leave the 30 metre arc.

    Tmac  COULD play out of the square...but we havent played a stay at home since....well..some whiles back now. My observations...  so take with a tiptruck of salt...  Tom plays well often when playing high up as a forward...  In a similar vein to what Milky did ...i.e become that link player...  ball off the HB...to a winger to a Half Forward...  Tom plays that Half forward role well as he is both a good kick and a faily smart judge of where to put it..  He can also play at the sharp end and CAN take a strong pack mark...Just depends on where the ball is and whos had it etc..

    I havent watched him in the magoos so anyone who has what has been his forte there ??

    Oops, thought the Grundy bandwagon might have been him playing in this game.

    Yes you can do that but and play smith back but my concern is tmac is not quick anymore and Pies backline are fairly quick so keeping him closer to goal takes one pie link up player away from the action plus it allows him leading room with a small forward close, just like Elliot and ginnivan do.

    I can see Smith playing a defensive roll on Moore he is perfect for it.

    Smith and Fritta both played on Moore last time and Fritta had 6 scoring shots.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
