Some big games there

If the Dogs beat the Pies and we do the same the following week that's definitely the end of the Pies' top 4 chances.

Of course if Collingwood wins those two and we lose the next two that dire fate may apply to us.

Gold Coast beating the Bombers would finish off the weekend nicely.

Not sure who I want to see win between Port and Carlton. On the basis that we need to replace a top 4 side you could go for Port but hell a Carlton win... Another draw perhaps

    Gold Coast were ordinary against Carlton last time out but they’re a different proposition at home. I reckon they’ll get the job done against the bombers. I certainly hope they do.

    i find it bizarre that footscray are playing an 'away' game at docklands against the filth

    I mean the pies play all their away games against Geelong at the mcg so now they know how it feels I guess

    Pendlebury is out for the Pies...

    Collingwood star Scott Pendlebury has been ruled out of the blockbuster against the Western Bulldogs as the reigning premiers count the cost of their mounting injury toll.

    Pendlebury failed to complete training at Olympic Park on Wednesday, leaving the track early.

    The 36-year-old has been battling an arm injury since last week’s draw with Fremantle.

    He copped a suspended ban for the incident early in the year so you would think they activate that now.

    My tips

    Power - although i did not see the changes, at home they are still formidable and overall probably are in better form but Blues will know they are very capable of winning this game. 

    Doggies - they looked great vs Sydney for most of the match, Pies injuries mounting. 

    Hawks - form building, at the G i think they take the chocolates. 

    Weagles - at home are a problem

    Puddy tats - ez

    Dees - in a slog, but we have the weapons 

    Suns - At home are dangerous

    lol indeed!  ‘Darwin factor’ - are they referring to the Darwinian concept of ‘survival of the fittest’?  Most adaptable wins??

    As a social experiment, I decided today to wear an "I Love Collingwood" t-shirt for a week.

    So far I've been spat on, verbally abused, punched and had a bottle thrown at me.

    I'm curious as to what might happen when I leave the house.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
