Full credit to him but it is kind of annoying that Bobby Hill's two best games are the difference between Collingwood's entire McRae era being a failure or not.

I would be well pleased to see that arrogant parasite-on-a-throne club drain away to the gutter it crawled out of.

There are already credible rumours of rifts within the club and when the paint starts to scratch off you can bet we'll get another look at all the unresolved racism, sexism and drug issues their clout enabled them to suppress without resolving.

Holy [censored], I really do hate Collingwood.

Maybe, but not nearly as much as I hate them.

    Look, I loathe ‘em…

    …but we’ve only won one more game than them this year.

    But we’re not reigning premiers. And we didn’t come into this season expecting a cakewalk. And we didn’t get ahead of ourselves. We also don’t have swelled heads and we don’t think we’re invincible.

    Let’s enjoy their slo-mo bubble bursting while it lasts. 😃

    His demeanour in the Sydney presser was very eye catching. He looked panicky and desperate. If they go 0-3 then statistically they won’t win it. top 4 becomes almost out of reach and finals is even 50/50. Just look at the cats from last year.

    Saints match up very well and I think are in with a real shot to cause a major upset. They move the ball very well and are one of the harder sides to score against. 

    I don't get the argument that you cannot win the flag if you lose the first 3 matches on the basis that it hasn't happened before. There are 23 games in the season and between 16 and 17 wins gets a top 4 finish and probable home finals. Whats to say a team cannot lose the first 3 games and win 17 of the remaining 20 to finish top 2?

    We can all laugh but regrettably they have the silverware from 2023 and we don’t. 

    That makes it all the more funny 🥳

    Besides, it’s now season 2024. We all start fresh.

    Way too much Schadenfreude going on here.

     

    There’s no such thing as too much schadenfreude when it comes to Collingwood.

    I believe they are the most talked about club in the AFL, fans, antifans, and

    media. That is what they want from us. Whether they win or lose, they want to be in your head.

    Stop it, give them nothing of your time. Let them bask in oblivion.

    I am so looking forward to this game tonight in anticipation of a pies loss. I want so desperately to see them get done. My preference would be after the siren, but wouldn't knock back a 10 goal loss either. If the game starts to blow out pies way,TVs going off. I want to see them and their supporters hurting. I have even gone to the point of looking who they have next ( brissy in Brisbane) and feeling good about that. I think I need help.

     Nothing, it is just statistically unlikely. Sure you get an outlier event from time to time (Doggies in 2016). But it’s hard to win 17/20 games. What also doesn’t stack up is the way they play and win. It is hard to back it up and sustain.

    Me too but if Collingwood have to win I will be quite happy that Ross the Boss is sitting 0 and 2.

    Very interesting to see if/how the Dogs bounce back this week against the suns. 

    Surely Caleb must start that one

    Hawks haven’t beaten us since 2018. What a great state of affairs. Hope they don’t beat us for another 100 years

    Drew in 21. They have also pushed us a couple of times. No easy feat on Saturday.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
