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 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?

    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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
