This will be a percentage boost for WC despite the result

Sydney- a massive percentage boost lost. We somehow stay above them on the ladder which is a little bonus.

    Carlton shooting for their first ever Adelaide Oval win. Meanwhile we’ve just cracked 12 wins.

    Collingwood supporters and the media claiming they have the best NON SA team record, but I reckon 12 wins is better than 8.

    The thing is, Carlton is 0-7. 

    They’ve only played there 7 times. Ever. 

    We’ve played there 19 times. Almost three times as much. 

    How the [censored] does that happen?

    That’s because you can do simple maths. You are overestimating Pies fans here.

    I reckon Freo will get up. in good form abs defence solid

    I haven't done the maths but I'm guessing that a high scoring close game would see us stay top on %, at least until tonight.

    So we’ve played more in SA and in Geelong. Exactly where does Carlton play it’s away games… asking for a mate.

    I really don’t rate Carlton.

    Hold McKay and Curnow and they don’t have much.

    Cripps gets a bit of it but his disposal is ordinary

    It's a tough watch.
    Abit like watching us without Gawn, Petracca and Oliver.

    I must be on my own on this forum as there’s plenty of other posters who don’t rate Carlton.

    I seriously rate Carlton and have them in the current top 3 seedings.

    They have every position covered with star material all over the place. It starts with their “Steve May” (Weitering) down back and ends with the two best key fwds in the league.

    Unfortunately they also showed that they could handle the big MCG finals moments which will hold them in good stead in September.

    (Hope I’m wrong and they cop a loss today)

    Freo are about 13% higher than us right now.

    I suspect they stay ahead of us if they get the “W” in a low scoring affair.

    Pretty good effort on their behalf.

    Plus the AFL are desperate for them to win the flag. 
    They are in prime position to win it. They still have Walsh to come back too. 
    Definitely a big factor in the flag race for mine too.

    Yep. Good call about Walsh. Absolute gun.

    He got them over the line against us last year.

    That throw was disgustingly obvious from Cripps. Give them the flag now if that's what the umps are going to allow this year from Carlton.

    • 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.
