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.

    Laughably if Essendon win they will be in the top 4 with a percentage of bugger all, if we don’t salute Saturday night.

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

    Is Peter Daicos the only father of AFL players?

    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.

    Facts.

    And his old man sits comfortably among the best ever.

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

    they took it pretty well. If it was me I would have turned the air blue.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
