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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
