Well look on the bright side after last night's disappointment. At least Kane Cornes will be a sad boy tonight.

He’ll find way to blame brayshaw

if I was on Twitter I’d troll him with memes on this theme

    Plenty of corridor footy so far. the game has moved on and we haven't got the memo yet.

    You need players with good foot skills to play that type of football. We don't have too many of those.

    You don't need many - you just need to set your game up to use them properly. Bowey, McVee, Salem all good users but we make them play like lockdown defenders to fit the contest and defence mantra.

    So Giants get a 6 day break and Carlton a 7? That seems wrong.

    Carlton 8, if played on Saturday. 

    Seems funny, GWS playing all over the place, only get the 6 days.

    Carl getting 8 even without travel interstate.

    Had to be 7 day break each, prior to preliminary.

    Did Collingwood decide that?

    If they beat the Wood, then at least they get 1 more day to prep for the Grand.

    Straight sets for 2 x top 4 teams who finished with a combined 6.5 more wins than the blues & gws, premature contract extensions for both Hinkley 10 yrs no flags Goodwin 1 x flag which you can understand but not sure what the rush was

    I'm sitting with the in laws and they're calling Pickett a thug and the media beat up over Maynard taking brayshaw flowers “oh they played together as juniors “

    I haven't had my say yet

    [censored] collingwood supporters are on drugs. They literally have no idea 

     

     

    Hope you gave 'em both barrels.

    Looks like half of the Giants fans are family and crows supporters.

    Fair few empty seats that I saw in the stadium. I wonder if Kane will be disappointed in the crowd size.

    The number 1 priority was to get Collingwood the Friday night prelim as reward for getting the minor premiership.

    I can’t stand the filth but they deserved the potential 8 day break into the GF regardless of the clubs below them.

    I'd be ropable if our club went out the way Port have in their last two big do-or-die finals though. Games over at quarter time/half time. Never even get started until its too late.

    Those misses in the last, when they were going hurt Port the most.

    Because that's his personality flaw, Thug.

    Once a thug, always a thug.

    Giants can absolutely beat the Pies. They won’t care at all about the crowd. They’re used to never having it on their side.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
