I'd love to see the Venn diagram of those who complained that Brown was selected last week vs those complaining about him being dropped this week. 

And the whole Venn pair could be enclosed within a larger circle of those who think our only living Premiership coach hasn't a clue. 

(I am not sure if the larger circle is a part of the classical Venn arrangement - I would have to consult the world's self proclaimed leading expert on Venn diagrams, VPOTUS, Cackling Kamala)

I laughed at this because it’s hella funny. But it’s also sad because there’s folks on here who’d actually believe Goody has this attitude.

 

No there's not

This is not the clever insult you think it is.

I questioned whether Kynan's form warranted a call up for exactly this reason - I didn't want him in and out like a yo-yo as it makes his selection look token. I complained last week that AMW was more deserving. 

Well?? Where do we stand now?

The same as ever this year, !!! Some unbelievably nonsensical and mindboggling selections based on the theory of being caught in a temporal nexus of incaluable reasoning based on the eye of Horus!!! However AMW Is deserving and Kynan now will NEVER lay a tackle,coz sheeeit a footy act like this costs his place in the side! Hnmm

I’m in favour of the push for our young players to be given time on the big stage this season, and I’m sure they are too. 

And they must all realise that entails not having any expectations when it comes to selection, even after a solid showing. There are only so many chairs at the table.  

While some here are expressing disappointment on behalf of Pup, I’d guess he’s somewhere else feeling pretty chuffed about how things are going so far. 


A bit weird that Brown jnr got dropped but lots on here seem to assume that because things are a surprise to us on a Thursday night that the players are as mystified as we are, I don’t think that's the case. 

Lever back helps us, interesting to see us go tall and that’s probably what cost Brown, couldn’t fit AMW in without dropping a small and it was LIFO. 

Can’t see us winning, lions by 30 unless we find a way to kick 85+ which has been pretty rare. 

Brisbane average 10 (!) more inside 50s a game than us.

At a 46% conversion that's approx 4 goals which is about the difference purely on a averages front. 

We absolutely need to force and win the stoppage clearance as much as possible and slow their entries forward. Force their shots to the pockets.

If we have any chance at all then Pickett, Petty and Fritsch need to kick at least 6 goals between them. Assuming the likes of Rivers, Gawn, JVR, Chandler, ANB, Sparrow and Viney can each hit the scoreboard at some point. 

If we can kick 12+ goals against keep them to <40% inside-50 conversion we win. We can beat this mob.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.

    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?
