    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
