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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
