There's no karma in footy. The only way it'd be equal karma is if m*****d was one on one in the backline and we were 3 points down with 10 seconds left and he did his knee and we kicked the winning goal by running past him helpless on the ground. In the grand final. Then I'd believe karma exists in footy again.

Not Karma but just because of his nature.

He'll do something again and someone will simply do it back.

Giants out of defence....

Use the entire ground

Take space by foot whenever presented

Run and spread quickly linking up with precision kicks much of the time.

Contrast this with our 'Run out of the square and bomb it long to Max' about 70%-80% of the time

I used to attend Dees v GWS at the MCG to boo Tom Scully. I hated GWS. It feels strange to admit how much I like watching them play now Kingsley is coaching them.

Yeah same & I hated Toby especially when he was getting in trouble.  Thought he was an [censored].  

But now I really like them. They are good to watch.

On another note big mouth mason has only had the 2 disposals

We fugged up royally with Toby Bedford. 

Pressure, pressure and more pressure.

Plus his pure pace the ultimate pressure forward.

They are so good by foot like we were the 1st year with Chocco on board.

Hogan had to leave our club to become the player he has become.

Never happening at the Dees.

Nope karma would have been them losing the gf last year even by a few points. He's got his premiership.  He wouldn't care if he did a knee or got knocked

Disagree respectfully, he's good at that, but nowhere near Pickett in terms of scoreboard

Leon Cameron had pretty much the same list fighting for 12th spot every year, what a new coach can do...

Conversely, Buckley trying to make Collingwood a defensive team then Mccrae comes in and uses the players abilities to their advantage

We couldn’t play both forward?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
