    Remember how we finished off the season in 2020? It was important that we gave it everything despite not having a shot at finals.Ā 

    This performance tonight says a lot about intent, resilience and pride.

    Yes the team is young , but we arenā€™t even trying. Itā€™s a fn disgrace.Ā

    Umps are on Daicos Brownlow watch. Called a free back to Nick after they had taken advantage and had 3 possessions.

    slightly better that quarter but still brain dead football letting collingwood players run by themselves with no pressure. they just run the ball down the field pulling players to them and getting the overlap. Dumb, dumb football. the umpiring has been pretty poor quite a few collingwood players have clearly dropped the ball when tackled and nothing. I thought the rule was if a player is sliding in and takes out another player below their legs they are at fault. a lot of poor ball disposal, poor choices, and what happened to that strong tackling we supposed to have shown a few weeks ago. I love fritter but he just runs around and does not seem to be accountable for anyone. all of our players need to put more pressure on the player with the ball. that will result in turnovers, fumbles etc. but at the moment its too easy,

    So the thug ran in when kozzie went into Moore, no other Collingwood remonstrated with kozzie then melksham ran in and the thug backed off

    Pressure rating towards end of that quarter was 156 - way below an acceptable AFL standardĀ 

    The average is 180 ... we've rarely hit that across an entire match all year.Ā  Last week was one exception.

    That first quarter was a great example of how far this system is (Goodwin's system) from finals level footy.

    Was in a trance the last 5 mins. Really can't thank you enough Benny, for your contributions, for the Grand Final, for what you do off field, for everything.

    We were still a chance to play finals though. We needed Freo to win. And our game was before there's. We would have got in on percentage. We lost to Freo and Sydney in the last month despite being heavy favourites in both. We won our last two but we choked to end the season.

    I've enjoyed watching Kolt's efforts tonight. Diving to attempt smothers, chasing, corralling. Once he stops fumbling and gets used to the pace, will be great creating turnovers. He did cause a few in that quarter. Keep trying hard, young fella.

    The umpire never called play on and you can hear him say daicos free several times.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.Ā They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season.Ā Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, theyā€™re riding high in third place on the AFL table.Ā The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this weekā€™s encounter, it seems a forlorn hopeĀ that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles atĀ Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.Ā

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
