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!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
