I don’t think Smith can do the job on Moore, as Melksham said in his interview with Andy the role is to get dangerous yourself but also be in range of the defender so you can get to them and spoil/interfere when required - I don’t think Smith has the awareness to manage his position as well as Melksham, or other more natural forwards. 

I would think Fritsch would be the one again, and with a bit of luck Moore might feel some hamstring tightness trying to go with Fritsch on the lead.

I would expect TMac to come in for Melksham and play his normal game of leading up to the wings and giving us a target with JVR out of the square.

I would be sending Oliver to De Goey at stoppages, as he is the key for Collingwood beating us. Oliver has been kept quieter than normal in the last two games and I think Pendlebury or Cripps will otherwise go to him at stoppages. Oliver is a good run with player and has done jobs on Cripps (R1 2020) and Bontempelli (H2 GF 2021).

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

Yep.

The first half of last year's round 22 clash is well worth a watch too.

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've had so many footy dreams with a myraid of results over the years. None have come to fruition. Especially the one where I was the one who won us the match.

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

We were not the two best sides in it that year...

Since 1980 we have played Collingwood twice in finals and won both.

1989 EF Melbourne 2.1 5.4 14.6 17.9(111) dftd Collingwood 3.2 6.7 10.7 13.10(88) Waverley Park Sep 9 (Sat)

1988 SF Melbourne 3.8 8.11 10.13 13.17(95) dftd Collingwood 2.5 5.6 9.7 12.10(82) Melbourne Cricket Ground Sep 11 (Sun)

For the 40+ year olds on the forum, which finals win over Collingwood did you enjoy more?

The 1988 semi final at the MCG or the 1989 elimination final at Waverley?

If the small forwards can deliver 5 goals between them we win. The others will do the rest

Agreed. We need Kozzie and Chandler to hit the scoreboard to win I feel. Defend the corridor on defense and the Pies become more stagnant and manageable.

We’ve got this.

Yes was at both and enjoyed them a lot. Guess the semi in 88 as it put us into another Prelim Final.

Agree - the second half wasn't too bad either - the only reason they got in front was a cheap free to Ash Johnson who kicked 4 for the game 

We kick straighter we probably win that game.

So Grundy not likely to get to Port then if we wanted to trade him.

Unless they go with future picks. Which honestly isn't a bad option particularly if we trade into this year to get GCS pick 4.

That's a shame - I was really keen on Georgiades and it was the only thing I would actively want to facilitate the Grundy trade to get.

Not sure why we'd move him on now.

I was at both - equally enjoyable a year after a long finals drought.

The 88 Semi was great, first final I'd been to I believe - I may have gone in 87 but too young to remember. 89 elimination final was good too but not as good as 88, the game wasn't as good, it was at Waverley instead of the G and was an EF rather than a SF. Still good to knock the Pies out of September though.

Quaynor has Koz's number big time, so we'll need to find another avenue to goal I think. Has him well covered for speed, strength, height, jump and weight. Plays kozzie extremely well does IQ.

Can’t play on him if Koz plays in the middle

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
