    Love your optimism,  We are as good as anyside in this finals race, Now I think whoever wins Thursday will win the last one.  So its all out there as I see it.  No holding back. And I think we have been hiding our ability a bit.

    While I do not like the wet weather, we have time to prepare for it and the Colliwobbles have to play it it as well. So their  plans are stuffed.  just as much as ours might be,  Go Dees onto the flag..

    Concur... winner of thursday wins.....it 😉

    Yeah nah, can’t see the Club signing off on that. Waaaay too inflammatory for the delicate sensibilities of your average Dees supporter. “Be afraid, be very afraid”  (last week’s banner) is about as menacing as we’d get. Cut to 8pm tonight and I’m posting sneak peeks of this week’s banner which says “And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead” 🤣

    *That’s the name of a band so there’d be copyright issues, for one. 

    In that case can you put a giant pair of sunglasses on the reverse side?

    It's 32 minutes can't bring myself to listen to it but wouldn't mind a summation

    I haven't listened to it, but I'll have a go:

    Everything we've done, we've done to qualify. We've achieved that and we start again.

    Geez, you wouldn't want to be anywhere else than Melbourne in spring.

    Nick was desperate to play, and might have if this was an elimination game

    No, no,  no reason to be anything but positive.

    This is the most bizarre stat…

    collingwood haven’t played in the rain in any of their 23 games this year.  

    Melbourne have played 6 games in the wet.

    How can a side go all year and avoid the rain? 

    in any case, Thursday night might be the first time all year collingwood have played with a greasy football. 

    I want to know, Collingwood, have you ever seen the rain?

    I assume you're referring to Scotty's comment about being a pies crowd as in a home game.

    If so Scott's degree in rocket science must still be in the mail.

    From the University of Damoa I guess. Like Saul's law degree.

    Excuse my ignorance (not firing on all cylinders atm) but I don’t get it. Why sunglasses???

     


    Every Collingwood fan I know or have seen write on bigfooty have been painful.
    I don’t know if I should even turn up.. apparently there’s no way we beat them.

    Also been reading post on bigfooty and Facebook by Collingwood fans trying to get the word out to start the collingwooooooood chant a minute before the game. God help me haha

    Low key would love for them to do that and lose and we can all gracefully give it back

    Rd’s 21-23 the Pies conceded over  100 points, the only other 2 teams to concede over 100 points three weeks in a row were North and the Eagles. 
     

    Rd’s 22-24 we conceded 60, 60, 56.

    The boys won’t care how wet it is. In the first 8 weeks of 2021 we played in the rain about 4-5 times and won them all.
    This season we’ve lost a couple of close ones in the wet and some of our best footy came in the pouring rain during the third quarter of the Port game where we piled on 7 goals. 
    Us being no good in the rain is a little overblown I think.

    We beat Collingwood in the GF 1960 in the wet so this could be a good omen. 🙄.    They were credited with 2.2.14 but if there was score review back then, yes even the garbage they have today, it would have been 1.2.8.

    this band really needs a lot of explosions and a very dark arena to pull the whole thing off. 

    That's pretty much my dating strategy in a nutshell.

    Just wheel them on stage unplugged & play the 'Dynasty' album over the PA system.

    Listening to Jono Brown and Buckley having a crack at Garry Lyon over whether the Melbourne fans will turn up on Thursday on Fox Footy makes me wanna throw up. What is with these morons. The game is a sellout! Have they any idea? This myth about us having small crowds has been dispelled by stats again this year. Pizz of Bucks and Brown. Then having Lyon bow to there jibes and urge Dees fans to show up, just get stuffed

    KISS, bloody hell I was listening to them in the roller disco, Mornington in 1982, the world has turned. I am old, but it doesn't mean I need to see someone playing from my vintage. It needs to be Australian, however the best of our stadium rockers have gone past it, in terms of live performance (Oils try hard though).  Midnight Oil, AC/DC, Barnes, Crowded House, Nick Cave, would hate to see them have a go and just reflect faded glory.

    So I reckon Hilltop hoods, while not rock, have a big sound and a couple of songs that would suit: (1955 is a favorite for a reason) but read to the lyrics from 'The Thirst'.

    We have the thirst
    We have the hunger
    We dive head first into the wonder

    Remind me again how many premierships FIGJAM won as player or coach? Oh that’s right 0.

    Just like the amount of clue he has.

    King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard need to do a GF. King Stingray would be great too.
     

    No Kings Of Leon, though. And for the love of god, keep David King away from the stage.

    Here are the AFL and Melb's average tackles and contested possessions per game for the past three H/A seasons:

    2023    AFL Tackles  61.8     Melb  61.7        AFL Cont.poss  136       Melb  145.7

    2022    AFL Tackles  58.3    Melb  56.5       AFL Cont.poss   136.9    Melb  148.4

    2021    AFL Tackles  57.4     Melb  62.2        AFL Cont.poss  136       Melb  148.6

    Over these three years, Melb consistently had the highest contested possessions. Our tackling was in the mid-range this year(better than last year), but we had two recent high numbers: 88 tackles against Carl in Round 22 (Carl 87), and 79 tackles against Syd in Round 24 (Syd 76). In the Sydney game, Viney, ANB and Mills(Syd) each made 12 tackles, the highest individual number among all the games in Round 24. I reckon ANB has never laid so many tackles in a single game before(his average tackles per game was 4.7 this year). He is in great form.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
