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?

    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.

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
