As a side issue: today marks Jack Crisp’s 238th consecutive game. He’s now only seven games away from breaking Jimmy’s record. Time’s running out. Records are made to be broken etc. but the thought of that grub being the one to take the mantle makes me sick.

Someone needs to take him out (make it look like an accident 🤭). 

I've arranged it with the boys. Next week he goes down in the 'thoid'.

    God knows how good the Giants are. But one game under the belt compared to our none is a big advantage. Also they have a bye straight afterwards so they can throw themslves around even further knowing they have a long recovery time. Geez, it'll be good if we beat them!

    Media really do gargle the Pies something fierce. Just vomit inducing. 

    Apparently the Herald Sun sells way more copies if the Filth are mentioned on the front page

    Good grief he'd have to play on into 2026 to get there!

    *Why not play a full round and utilise the holiday Monday?  4 games is half-baked 

    Give the clubs/players another bye during the season (it's needed)

    This is so grim for Collingwood, and I love it.

    I have been saying for some time that the Pies will fall off a cliff with their age structure, hopefully I will finally be right 😁

    They only had a few flashes of the Collingwood of yesteryear and generally looked like a plodding lower mid table side and not a real contender.

    Only Round 1 but good to see a heavy loss to kick the season off.

    I took my son to Princes Park this morning for the open training session, watched the Pies in a 50+ point loss on TV this arvo and had a beer and a swim at the beach this evening. What an awesome day! (with a public holiday tomorrow) 😀

    … and Storm enjoyed a thumping win; their 23rd consecutive first-round win. Incredible. 💜

    Depends...

    GWS are defensively sound and didn't let them play their game. They took it away from them.

    How many other teams can do this?

    That will decide the season of the pies this year to my mind.

    They say when Collingwood is involved they sell more papers but that means more paper for the budgie cage bottom.

    Yes the pies looked bad but the Giants looked absolutely elite. Finn Callaghan looks superhuman out there (cough cough ASADA cough cough). 

    Not dancing on Collingwood's grave until I see us against the orange tsunami next week.

    They should have beaten the Swannettes in the GF last Season 

    44 points up against The Bears and they relaxed 1%
    If we can beat them next week it will be huge 

    We need to emphasise Speed and ball movement, constantly create options 

    That  is not our game plan LIve in hope

    I’m surprised the GWS forwards were able to tie their bootlaces before the game.
    Or maybe they’ve all got broken thumbs.

    Nice to see the pies lose and most players cramping.

    Let’s hope for a stinking hot day this weekend!

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
