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

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
