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

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
