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

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
