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.

    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

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
