How good was the way they used Wanganeen-Milera as much as possible.  Watching him kick is like watching a Federer backhand or a Warnie leggie.  Skill and execution just sublime.    Not to the same extent, but I'd be keen to see McVee freed up a little bit to be getting that kick from the back half into the forward half.  But we seem to be trending in that direction anyhow.

    Pity it has to be Brisbane.

    Both 0-4 would be good to see...

    ...but I guess you can't have everything.

    But taunting Brisbane fans that they've only beaten the bottom team would be a perfect two-flavoured ice cream.

    Look at our 21 finals campaign. That's how it's done.

     

    Not every club can hope to emulate the most potent 50 minutes of football in the history of the game.

    I love that it isn't even hyperbole to say that.

    Hah, I now genuinely have the Doom music in my head.

    Sure the Pies had a bumper start to the season last year but they fell away at the end.

    In reality they just snuck home with three iffy finals including the gf.

    They beat us in a final by 7 points when we had an absolutely depleted fwd line and were a man down.

    Just beat Gws by a point.

    And we're lucky in the Gf with the soft advantage call and just snuck home again by a kick.

    They were not a glorious flag team by any standard.

    Look at our 21 finals campaign. That's how it's done.

    Pies won't make top four and rightly so.

    They're the second weakest premier of this century, only the Bulldogs of 2016 were weaker. Fact.

    The pies won their 3 finals by a cumulative total of 12 points. That was with some extremely lucky umpiring decisions going their way. They started the season well but by the end they were a middle of the road team and were possibly the luckiest premiers in my lifetime. Zero chance of a "dynasty". Hopefully they crash and burn for the sake of all Australian society and the sport. Pathetic wretched scum.

    disagree.

    pies flag - 56.32 attacking, 63.86 defending.

    bulldogs 2016 - 59.83 attacking, 71.64 defending.

    pies were officially kissed on the richard cranium last year. the dogs of 2016 would beat them 8/10 times.

    Further, last year teams statistically had their worst scoring accuracy against the Pies. It was an uncanny stat that almost all teams worst goalkicking performance came against Collingwood.

     

    We had the opposite problem as Freo, GWS, Carlton x2 and Collingwood beat us with superb accuracy last year despite the fact we had more scoring shots in all those games.

    In the finals alone, the opposition kicked 20.13 to our 16.28

    The umpiring standard was horrendous and it's the first time I enjoyed it.

    And if any Pies fan should stumble upon this post.....

    That goal from the boundary line ....the ball was definitely out of bounds.

    That goal, was it from the Wayne Harmes flank ? Not Collingwood's lucky part of the ground

    A lot of potentially one sided games this weekend.

    Crows v Cats probably the hardest on paper but of course upsets happen

    I think Dogs Suns is an interesting game. Reckon Suns make the 8 this year…this game will be a good indicator.

    Suns should have that easily. Dogs backline is woeful

    And doing it in a way that makes it a football act.

    Best I can come up with is a rainbow kick from May on the dog's head, setting him up for a kozzie knee. I say May as he never kicks Rainbows, we want Maynard to know.

    David Kind now jumping on the saints as how ‘amazing were they last night’

     

    Were the saints amazing??? I thought Collingwood were awful more than Saints were good. Lots of saints goals came from Collingwood players making BAD errors that other top teams aren’t going to make.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
