Especially for a fair dinkum footy act.

 I mean let's be consistent at least.

Is Maynard one of the league's players most hated players?

    Got a feeling the Eagles have a big late out and will be poor against the Saints. Just our luck they had one of their strongest sides and absolutely set them selves for us.

    Tim Kelly out hurts them. Have a feeling too that the Saints will get a rare win.

    I’m still scratching my head as to why West Coast looked like a comprehensively better side that day than us. If you were new to the game you’d assume West Coast were a top 4 team and Melbourne were a bottom 4. The loss of Lever hurt but you can’t just blame it all on that.

    The game won't be saved by the change of interpretation to the HTB rule.

    Reckon i just watched three throws in a row and at least two incorrect disposals completely ignored by the same ump within about 5 contests.

    He put this whistle to his mouth about twice but no courage to pay the correct decision and just threw his hands up instead to play on.

    This was all with line of sight right in front of him no excuses.

    The horror show circus continues!

    Wow the Hawks are impressive. Missing a few too

    aside from that choke against Port they’d be 5 on the trot and looking at finals

    What was the go with Ginnivans team mate after he kicked the goal at the end of the 3rd. Got right in his grill and shoved and pushed him about 4 times

    their forward line is built around ground level smalls providing ground pressure - moore, ginnivan - plus an aging breust and gunston, and a spare parts option in chol

    they've got a gun father-son in dear for the future tho

    really, the best tall forwards come out of the first round, academy, or father-son selections

    I like the Crows list, their best players are very good, and I keep on expecting them to "emerge". Enough is enough. I am not a fan of coach sacking but Nicks has had 5 seasons, and they simply cannot play 4 quarters of decent footy, and too often play slack, boring, risk-free footy. 

    The young Hawks are the opposite. I love the way they are playing. Their young, no-name players are playing with hunger and aggression.

    didn't nicks get a new deal at the start of the season? their form away from the adelaide oval and without tex is a massive issue for his job security

    their forward structure is really missing thilthorpe

    Was it the same teammate he badly burnt earlier in that same quarter? Ginnivan ignored him on his own in the goal-square and missed the shot.

    It was Day. Nothing happened between them in that last bit of play, so you could be right, it may have been something that happened earlier in the quarter. Perhaps Ginnivan made some sort of snarky comment as they were leaving the ground.

    Regardless of what happened, it’s never good to see animosity between teammates. Take that sch!tt to the rooms.

    they have the same fwds as when they won flags in Gunston and Bruest. Or do you mean Moore and Ginnivan? hardly reliable scoring small fwds

    Why couldn't waterman & Kelly been late outs against us? I bet west coast don't perform like that again for the rest of the season.

    Ginnivan didn't have time to comment, as soon as the team mates got around him, Day busted through, gave him a mouthful and some really big shoves.

    Yep, it was Day who got burnt earlier, but it was not a good look at all. Quite surreal to see a team mate so angry like that.

    Yeah, when I saw the first couple of shoves I thought Day was celebrating in a ‘macho, blokey’ kind of a way, but as it continued, it certainly did, as you say, seem very surreal.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
