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.

The Bont with an injury

Just give Trac the Brownlow now and be done with it

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

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
