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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
