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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
