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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
