    I’ve never seen a player as injured or cramped as Diacos being asked to play on especially the game is over

    Either manage his hydration in the first place or take him off

    There is just no regeneration at the Glasshouse, they really are in for some pain.

    We are in trouble next week.

    Giants missing their 2 best players in Green and Hogan. Their ruckman goes down with concussion. Also missing Stringer Ricardi  etc

    and they have walked all over the Pies

    Fatigue in their first game being the reason is embarrassing and hilarious

    Interesting to see how we go next week will be a good barometer … not watching the game today but are the conditions impacting or is GWS much better?

    GWS have moved to 3rd favourite on Betfair.
    $7 Hawthorn
    $7.40 Brisbane
    $7.60 GWS

    Round 1 form is always overrated.  Get on the Dees for next week!

    Running over the top of the Pies, fast movement out of stoppages, better ball movement, running defensively, defending as a unit.

    We are pushing 💩 up a hill for next week.

    Watch the minute of play at about 8 minutes(of play) from the end. The run-down tackle on Membrey in the goal-square, followed by an end to end goal for GWS.

    Story of the day.

    Collingwood will make noises about fatigue (lol) and their kicking (their own fault - failure to get to good positions or create space and time for clean shots) but in the end GWS have been too fast, too skillful, and too energetic.

    Could have been even worse but a couple of GWS tall forwards got the jitters with a few marks they should have taken.

    I’ve clearly missed something, the Pies were so slick against the Tigers two weeks ago.

    I could get a kick against the Tigers

    GWS keen to poke the ball to teammate rather than take possession

    Quick recap. 

    Collingwood have traded their 2025 first round pick to Gold Coast.

    If they're cooked, they're very, very cooked.

    Just back from watching live

    Collingwood look pretty slow - yeah it was hot but I think there are too many plodders to take on the likes of GWS or Hawks, Freo 

    Really impressed by Finn OCallahan wow he can run

    Sam Taylor is a gem 

    Darcy Jones is a very handy small 

    They will be a very good test for our boys next week make no mistake 

    As for the pies I know it’s only opening round but I think they will struggle to play finals - their future doesn’t look that bright to me - hopefully I’m right 😀

    Any coincidence GWS dominating the end of both quarters - superior fitness?

    It eventually climaxed in the last quarter.

    Admittedly I am not a high performance coach but I would have given Daics a Gatorade prior to game

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
