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 😋

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
