Just watching the replay of the Kings Birthday game. Worth watching.

Collingwood had won 23 of their last 25 H&A games

They were on fire and we smashed em. Just couldn't kick straight

We kicked 6g 10b from set shots including 4 posters and 3 that didn't make the distance

We had more scoring shots than them every qtr.

Coll kicked the first 3 g after horrendous First qtr turnovers from us. Only 6 for the rest of the game

They kicked two in the last min to close it down to 4pts but this was a mauling by us.

Gawn was blocked off the ball at every single contest. Not one free. They got two from the same

Viney was immense. Thommo played v well

    Surely no one thinks they will be easy to beat. 

    I certainly don't.

    But i think we will beat them.

    By the by, the Pies are currently 1.84 favorites and we are 2.00, with the line at 1.5

    That is as good as even money, but i suspect we will in fact start close favorites.

    A genuine 50 50 game.

    That we will win. 

    Odds not dissimilar to those in favour of the Sydney Swans in our game last weekend.

    I just had a dream that Clayton Oliver kicked from the pocket to Ben Brown (?) standing right on the goal line who slotted it in to put us 35 points up halfway through the third quarter. MAKE OF THAT WHAT YOU WILL.

    I also had a dream but for some reason it did not involve any footballers

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

    Smithy's role as a defensive forward (and as a taller, mobile, attacking forward) has really magnified; I see TMac coming in for a dual role other than his own - freeing Smith for leads against the Filth defenders (and those of Fritta if he plays) and firming the pack against Filth hindrances for JVR. Going to be a rip-snorter of a game, me thinks. Smalls are going to have to be non-static for the whole game, exploiting the opportunities.

    One of many fascinating sub plots to come in this game.

    I seriously cannot remember a more evenly poised QF.

    Should be a cracker and hopefully reignites the rivalry that has become more driven by our side than theirs. We win and go on to win the flag and the rivalry is legit again.

    First time we've both been legit contenders and have met in a final in for 59 years.

    We met in 1989 it has been mentioned but it certainly was in a semi in 1988 at the G which we won.

    I'm not taking any significance at all from the KB game. At 11-1 at the time, Collingwood would have been in a very demanding training phase, potentially even training harder than us who were 3 wins behind them (8-4).  This is now the real deal and it's got every chance of being an epic final.

    I was in Sydney for the R24 match.

    While I was there, I was attacked by a freakin magpie. Not sure if it was some sort of omen. In any event, I survived the attack. 

    I'm trying to imagine the reverse omen, that is, what might have happened to a Collingwood supporter. Meeting a Demon at the gates of Hell, perhaps?

    ”going to be close”

    ”they’re a good side”

    Pre Game

    MFCSS in full breakout.

    ”We’re no chance”

    ”Can’t see how we win”

    Yep,  dont forget the most annoying DL comment...."sure,we won today but if we play like that next week we'll get belted"  -  or thrashed or lose by 10 goals. just fill in the blanks.

    note.  one poster used this comment in reference to an upcoming game against the bulldogs.   unbelievable.

    Go to Srilanka and shake a large tree. Hundreds of huge black crows will come zooming out at you. Crows would shred a magpie.

    Most likely but it wouldn't me if there was a surprise or 2.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
