Not cheap, but I think pints are over 14 normally 

Pints have really caught on. Even in trendy Wollongong they are all the go.

Such a wonderful standard unit of measurement where one can swear in good conscience in a court of law that "I'd only had a couple of beers".

    And on top of it all, you can visualise this lovely exchange every time you order one:

    No point wasting time with pots. Pints the only way to go if you're being serious.

    An hour before the bounce and it does not matter where in the world you are, it is still an hour before the bounce.

    What I want to see this evening is the team 'on' from the first bounce. I want to see us playing the game on our terms and making sure that the Tiges are reacting and on the back foot. The on-field leaders have to do their job of keeping minds concentrating.

    Pressure, Pressure, Pressure on the ball, the ball carrier and the possible next receivers all over the ground. A team game.

    Individual performances I will be keeping an eye on:

    Viney - he has been in great form this season except for the Lions game. I want to see him respond. 

    McVee - just cause I enjoy watching him.

    Petty - had a couple of games back and there is now no excuse not to perform.

    Win for the Dees by 6/7 goals.... heart over head? we shall see.

    Expect a lift everywhere. But for a few last game, we were so flat. I don't know what happened but we looked very ordinary on our own turf. Ill pay that we played last year's runner's up but something went wrong somewhere. 

    Tonight there's no where to hide and no excuses. No fatigue .

    Our midfielders need to get back to winning the centre clearances and stop teams connecting with all Maxy's tap wins.

    Our forward line needs to get cracking. If we can't hold our marks then they need to follow up with non stop tackles and pressure. 

    Hopefully Olivers much better after his operation and Kozzie bolsters our pressure acts.

    I'll back Petts to come out firing and have a big game in the absence of Bbb.

    The focus is all on us tonight not the tigers. If we are a top four team then we need to have a comfortable win this evening.

    Enjoy the game ladies and gents. Especially those of you there. Cheers.

    Laurie the sub.

    Turner starting.

    Probably on the bench to fill Roohey's role when he takes over from Max in the middle and also when he's resting on the sidelines.

    Good luck young fella!

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
