    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

    • 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. 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. 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, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. 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 week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne 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 at 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 ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 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.
