Sidebottom a meter+ over the mark against Goldstein there. Umps say nothing. Imagine our blokes doing that "50!" which would end up becoming 70 meters and an easy shot at goal

I know a lot of Melbourne supporters like to downplay Collingwood’s prospects, probably because of recent history between the 2 teams.

However, which team would you be confident of beating Collingwood on prelim or grand final day at MCG?

Perhaps Geelong?

Essendon 😋

None confidently, which is sickening.

Problem is the Pies are so hard to beat at the MCG, particularly in finals.

They truly have have the inside running to win the flag if they finish top 2, or play week 1 at the MCG as the ‘away’ team (by finishing 3rd or 4th).

It'll depend very much on how the old bodies hold up over a season, both for injuries and fatigue.

I still think they are very suspect. Brittle enough to not even reach finals. #bigcall

Yeah I’m being a bit tongue in cheek. They’re not head and shoulders above everyone else. Bears/GWS aren’t playing their best, Crows look dangerous. Geelong are Geelong.

A lot of footy still to go this season.

It’s a huge call to say Collingwood will miss finals.

Probably too huge a call.

if one of sidebottom or pendlebury goes down they are in the [censored], they are carrying them so hard along with nick

Bad call. Premature call. You can’t be serious call.

Yep I agree with this. They do play a winning style of footy, however their game is very taxing on the older bodies.

I can’t see Pendles and SideBottom which are relied upon staying fresh through the whole season. Pendles already coming in off the bench is starting to show his age.

Underestimate Collingwood at your peril

I see them playing a GF again

Which they’ll win cause the umpires and entire league is arranged around ensuring they receive favourable umpiring , treatment at the tribunal , etc etc

It’s cruelled my interest in the game tbh

Super, I hold a different view. I suspect some of their older players will be found out over the course of a long season. At least I hope so.


Asking genuinely, was Ben McKay really good at Kangas? I never really watched any of their games.

Plus crowd support and as a result, umpiring favour.

Unless the opposition is winning by 40 points at 3/4 time, you know the umpires will bring them back into it

Right ok. Hope Essendon give him even more money.

  • 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 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.
