Schadenfreude and the memory of this is all that gets me out of bed at the moment.

If anything happens in footy this week more stupid than playing someone a single WEEK after a hamstring tear, it’ll have to be REALLY stupid.

The loss of Jackson has hurt us!

TDK plays a similar role and I think is even more agile than LJ. Just needs to build a tank and I think could match or be better than LJ.

Anyone have an idea of the %win rate for teams on back to back 6 day breaks in recent years?

Carlton are on back to back 6 day breaks next week which surely isn’t a bad thing for us.

@Bring-Back-Powell against us Carlton will be playing their 5th game in 27 days, we'll be playing out 4th in 29 days.

Not just epic Daicos, but also epic Carlton defence, or non defence. 
And why shouldn’t they lose 3 on the trot.  
I see Colonwood have a freebie next week. 

They look very shabby down back without Saad at ground level and his occasional intercept marks.

Weitering VG aerially of course.

I'm with you on De Koninng but Nick Dacios would improve our midfield easily.

Ditto.  Very similar traits to LJ at his best but potentially more upside as he gains experience.

Terrible defending by Carlton to let Daicos kick the winner just let him run through the stoppage unopposed

Huge.  Pies v Blues.  That was pressure.  Finals like. 89000 crowd.  Pies were huge in the contest.  Pressure.  Tackling.  Forward lines were open but the defenders swarmed.  No place for short steps. That was the standard.  Pies will get Mitchell and Degoeeeeeey back. Blues get plenty back in Saad, Marchbank and Martin.  Both will be stronger.  Both are contenders.  Can we match it? Can the Dees bring that intensity.  We did v the Power but not in other games.  We need to be the danger.  breaking bad danger GIF

What a crappy way to wake up on a Saturday morning to see that the pies won last night 

it would have been almost as bad seeing blues win   But not quite.

a draw would have been satisfying

Saturday morning is one of the best parts of my week. Lie in, brewed coffee and toast. All spoilt by having every media outlet (TV, social media & internet)gushing over everything Pies, Collingwood, and Daicos. Vomit inducing.

Having said that, yes Daicos can be soft, but he is an absolute gun if you give him a centimetre of space and has a habit of being "lucky" late in games. No luck, simply a very good footy brain and super skills to execute in high pressure moments. And channel 7 constantly showing his dad Peter is excruciating, but he is now a channel 7 person so this is going to go on for some time.

Is it wrong to want a whisky so early in the morning? I will leave the Dalmore, and maybe go the Monkey Shoulder (best budget whisky in the world). This might get me over all this Collingwood BS.

That was really illuminating. Dwayne is very animated in the box. He’s still insufferable, but he does clearly love the game.

Imagine if the Blues had won.

The best that can be said is they have got them both out of the way so weekend footy can proceed.

Perhaps free of BT and what must must have been last night's worst commentary team they could put together

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
