Collingwood +20 contested possessions, +4 clearances, lost by 52 points. 

But they also only had 36 tackles for the game.

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

Or if you live in the country, to use in the Thunder Box.


This is the team that deserves the bottom of my chooks’ indoor accommodation…

My brother buys the H/S (please pray for him 🤭) and brings them to mine every week. He’s a Carlton supporter but our unholy hatred for Essendon bonds us like nothing else. When he visits he checks the coop and it’s never not funny. 

Kane Cornes this morning: “Good morning, there is no rest, we push through and we don’t need pickle juice” 🤣

Don’t understand why he is so divisive. He’s genuinely hilarious in the way he winds people up.

Absolutely ridiculous they halted play for the protected species. Would Oliver be afforded such luxury? Club and player can go and get f-cked

 

Cats are playing in 35oC next week

Forget the pickle juice, bring the Medical Examiner!

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. 

This is what annoys me about the typical AFL media. The giants looked great, but there is no story in talking about how good they were. Instead it's straight to how bad the opposition were.

It constantly annoyed me in 2022 when we had won the previous premiership and looked like a million bucks. I was craving those media articles that I now realise are only reserved for the bigger clubs which talked about how well we were going.

No action taken against Filth coach.

Another example of justice having been served?

As we watch the Pies fail to contend we'll also see mcrae revert to type. The smart a---e comment to young Toby was contemptible.  We'll done to Kingsley for the response. Short and to the point.

I'm sure we all know people like this. All sweetness and light when things are going his way .... quite the opposite when things aren't!! 

I mean, credit to Bedford for not only blowing up Daicos, but also getting under the skin of the opposition coach.

Ken Hinkley must be wondering how many instagram followers it takes to be allowed to sledge with impunity. The way his incident played out you'd think Ginnivan was a 10 year old waiting for a school bus when Hinkley threw a smoothie at his from a passing car.

Hawks ate the embodiment of big mouthed thin skinned little privileged [censored].


Can the media stop saying Collingwood look unfit, old & won't make finals etc.

We do not want this team to get motivated to prove a point. 

Do not poke the bear.

Lets hope Port beat them this weekend though

Exactly. I don’t know how McRae only ended up with a warning. What’s the threshold for a fine over a warning? Any negative and unwarranted comments from a coach to an opposition player should be the same fine.

What temperature do they implement the heat policy?

Our game on Sunday won’t exactly be played in arctic like conditions either.

And not only lose, they got flogged.

GWS 200%. Ferals 50% …. and Round one hasn’t even started.  There is a god.

I didn’t know there was an established heat policy. Do you mean at a certain temperature the game can be abandoned? Or just changes such as longer breaks etc?

Pre season games is usually where the heat policy comes into play.

Think the only changes are unlimited rotations and no subs, just full use of the extended bench.

Oh heck no, they won't be postponing another game!

The so called heat policy has longer breaks and extra water carriers etc...I'd say it will be in effect on Saturday afternoon given a temperature of 35+ is expected in Geelong.

At this stage our game is looking cooler - low to mid 20's with possible rain.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
