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

i agree no pushover. i was commenting more on the fact they haven't beaten in so long. They belted us for years so a great trend to reverse.

OMG - but do they actually have to fly interstate this year??

They would feel right at home - will their president be on the plane too?

Maybe their bus will crash on the way to GMHBA.... oh wait...

Coin Toss Ladder for those keeping score

IMG_2158.jpeg

Teams that won the coin toss in Round 1 went 6-3

It makes sense that we are above Brisbane, them being an interstate team and us being Victorian and all.

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

Surely Caleb must start that one

They are playing in Ballarat, where the weather can be diabolical and so game can be a lottery.

But i just checked and its looks perfect - 20 degrees, no rain and light winds.

The bookies have the dogs 1,64 favorites which i reckon is about right.  

The dogs couldn't run our the game last week, and i suspect the heat was a big factor as Bevo was surprised they didn't (implying he's happy with their fitness). 

But they were pretty good i thought and would have been well in the match if not for their inaccuracy when they were on top (though we missed our fair share too). The margin was a bit flattering for us i thought.

The difference was our defence was so much better - and is well suited to their three tall set up given how well organsied we are and how well we zone off to impact aerial contests. 

But as someone else noted their forward line will test a lot teams. Has Hardwick been able to sort the Suns d yet? Maybe, but i'm expecting the dogs to win.

Imagine the salvage operation.  Rescuers would just be going through the motions.

Rescuers would still be doing them a solid though

What kind of fixture gives a team an away game followed by a home game at Ballarat as their first two matches?

(The same one that gave us two consecutive games in Adelaide against SA teams.)

I should no longer be surprised

Yeh definitely kicked away at the end, wondered how the game would have played out if they had kicked this. (Praise be to the duke).

Meh, the Dogs choose to play games in Ballarat, who cares if it’s their first home game of the year.

Also 3 Interstate games in the first 5 matches followed by a Home games against a Grand Finalist.

will be cheering on the saints for sure.

but won't be a casual watcher of their games outside of games like this. Their style of football is eye bleed inducing.

Not the proper thread I suppose but somewhat disappointed to see that the only Melbourne player in Brad Johnson’s rolling all Australian team on SEN is Jake Stringer on the FF line.

Really ….. do these guys get paid to do this?

Posted (edited)

Watching this game tonight and seeing the Saints win is surely the next best thing to watching us win our games.

If the filth lose then they will be in a bit of bother with a tough one next week.

Edited by leave it to deever

Moment of clarity;

A reason behind the level of schadenfreude attention going to Collingwood's early stumbles is not because we can't resist talking about them, but because the situation is opening the possibility that we soon might not have to talk about them.

Lurking in the back of our minds must be that Collingwood have a very old list and even outside their B&F top 10 (which included only Daicos, Daicos and Quaynor under 27yrs) they have important veteran players who were crucial to their premiership - Howe, Hoskin-Elliot, Cameron, Cox, Sidebottom, Elliot and even poor old Dan McStay.

I for one am excited by the possibility of an extended decline of the Collingwood football club.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
