The absolute state of Collingwood supporters whenever someone dare suggest that Melbourne might win. My god they are a fragile bunch. 

They are deadset [censored] themselves that the 'greatest team ever' may not even make the Prelim.

 

This is first class analysis of the four finals games.

Some of the best analysis I've heard - clear, makes sense and well articulated.

Davis is very impressive. 

He does the dees game first.

That just makes me more anxious

I legitimately hope it's just us fans that read into the 1st vs 4th stuff and how 4th place never wins a flag. 

With everything that these players go through they hopefully don't get caught up in all the superstitions and would just be stoked to get this final on the G. Win and all bets are off. 

I’m just guessing with no research whatsoever… I would expect 1st to beat 4th more often than not because typically there would be a substantial gap between the two sides. The ‘skill’ gap between 2nd and 3rd would be closer. And less between those two sides and the 1st placed side.  On that basis one would expect 4th place sides been the least successful in snagging a premiership.

What is different this year is that (hopefully without a biased perspective) that there is not that skill gap between 1st and 4th.  I keep in mind that had we been awarded the win against Carlton we would have been second and Collingwood would have been up against Port.  
I strangely feel nervously optimistic about our chances not only this week but in the ones following. We are serious contenders.
 

Listen to a guy from the weather bureau on SEN. Said rain would hit between 6pm and 7pm but be fairly light with a couple of showers across the evening.

The bigger issue would appear to be wind as it will be gusty/blustery all night.

 

 

Originally I was dreading the rain considering our poor performance when it’s been wet.

then realised that Collingwood might actually be worse off if it’s pouring.

Now I’ll be disappointed if it’s not raining. 

I think I’m slowly going insane

 Im not sure if wind effects the mcg too much as the stands shelter most of it

Great interview... the importance of Max, eh. 

I wonder if they will get stuck into him, as teams have done for a couple of years now. He gets little protection from the umpires - gets niggles and blocks off the ball all time, slightly late hits etc etc. I hope we have a plan to make it clear that we won't stand for that short of [censored].

Yeah I know. I missed a couple but it is overwhelmingly the case. Playing live in these settings is fraught with danger in my opinion

 Max cops plenty of whacks to the head and rarely gets a free  Clarrie is in a similar boat.

Umpires are [censored] poor in this regard and yet the bleat about protecting the head continues from the AFL.

Nerves set in around midday and I can't focus at all now.

Tomorrow is going to be brutal and a total write off.

I really hope he goes into the media and maintains this style of delivery. Dry but with a lot of clarity. He doesn’t inject any ego into it which is refreshing!

Posted this on the ticketing thread but no takers, so here it is again.

We are falling like flies.  I too am sick and can no longer go.  Ticket is Q54 row A seat 11.  Please someone enjoy it! No cash needed.  I believe the seat is under cover!

In the words of Iggy Pop “gimme danger”. 

But it’s been more common over the last few years, as digital consoles have made it easier. I was moved to have a look at some of the previous performances and as well as PK, Sting, Vance Joy and the The Living End all played live. A couple of their songs used “track” - a phantom keyboard or string part here and there, but that would be the case with their usual live shows too. 

As for Kiss, they’ll certainly have some modern augmentation, as they’ve been leaning on it more and more in recent years. 
 

The oscillation between “game chat” and “KISS chat” on this thread has been very funny. It’s helped the nerves!

I struggle to pick up jokes sometimes. His voice was well and truly shot. But who wouldn’t play some provincial football games grand final that no one in the northern hemisphere will Ever see for a mil or two

Not to mention the MCG and general open air acoustics, doesn't make for great vocal performances at the best of times. 

Noble dropped for Collingwood after 83 straight games.

Hopefully the Pie players are rattled by this, a permanent fixture getting dropped.

 

John Noble omitted for the pies. Hasn’t missed a game since Rd 6, 2020. 83 games in a row then dropped for the first final. 
 

Brutal. 

Noble dropped for who?

changing up their backline at this stage is a good sign for us

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
