    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
