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

McRae gets an “official warning”, Hinkley copped a $20,000 fine. The protection of all things Magpies continues on into 2025.

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.

Underwhelming start to the season. Two yawn worthy games with as much atmosphere as question time at Parliament.
