Would live for the Hawks to miss the 8 this year and for several more.

The level of arrogance that it will just happen again for them is nauseating 🤮

They are not looking good at the moment. Teams have already worked em out and the season hasn’t even started.

    My pies employed mate has been telling me that Membrey has been on fire all preseason.

    Quite a dynamic forward group over there

    Strange seeing Nibbler in yellow. 

    in #28 - clearly a lesser player than he was in #30 for the red and blue

    Looking at the performance of Collingwood's players, they have immense talent on every line. If they stay healthy, they will be very hard to beat. Adding Houston and Membrey as well... even their youth play like 100+ gamers.

    I firmly believe the Pies will miss the 8 again. They just don't have the depth to cover the usual injuries that will come with their aging list. Heck, if N Daicos had a season ending injury they would probably finish bottom 4.

    Watch for a suite of retirements and trades come season's end.

    Could face some stiff competition for a spot after Daicos was declared Collingwood's 'Spearhead' in practice match reports.

    Snorts aside, I do wish Membrey well. Realistic shot at being Collingwood's leading goalkicker.

    And for the sake of football he has an important job to do to make sure Collingwood don't bottom out enough to get any more top picks until Tassie blows up the draft.

    Fun fact, Collingwood are now substantially older than even Geelong, with a staggering 20 players with more than 100 games experience and likely to be included most weeks meaning that their on-field age is going to be even older than their list average.

    Daicos and McCreary are the only Magpies under 24 with a solid claim on best 22 spots.

    It wasn’t a legit injury though. He came off in the first quarter for “awareness” reasons. The commentators (Dwayne and Dunstall) said there’s nothing in it. And when he was coming off he smiled at the camera.

    But yeah, give Tracc the Brownlow now regardless 😅

    starcevich out of the opening northern states round with concussion

    I think we might be hearing more on this tomorrow...

    ...but there does need to be 2 clear weeks between the last practice match & your first game.

    Personally I think it's time for practice games to be put to bed.

    Adelaide adding 3 best 22 players of the right age and experience is big for them. They'll be good this year. 

    Neal-bullen raising the standards as he does

    They’ve gone from something like 3rd youngest list to 8th oldest in one off-season

     Finals or bust for Nicks

    It very much suits their game plan. 

    It will be a fascinating watch tactically nevertheless.

    People said the same of Geelong.

    GWS look like they've done a hard training session at there captain's run.

    No direction whatsoever on every line.

    Collingwood might give them a nice old touch up going on this 1st qtr.

    Yes these practice games are dangerous. Everything should be inhouse until Round One

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
