If you look at Collingwood’s team last night

Pies had a great win and predicatably the media use the victory as validation of their premiership favoritism. And fair enough they earned that given how they managed their list, which put a spotlight on the sustainability of their system and method.

Freo had every opportunity to win this game. You can mount a very legitimate argument that they dominated Pies in most areas except the scoreboard. Freo almost doubled Collingwood's entries last night (62 to 34), which underlined their inefficiency, 'purple mist' going forward. Collingwood continue to play this brand of defensive half scoring and are ridiculously efficient and good at it. Its funny because i remember hearing Simpson mention a few times that it is not a sustainable scoring source where-as forward half / mid field turnovers are more desirable. Pies were also a) very accurate b) incredibly efficient with their i50 >> score (Freo 19% vs 44% in goal effieiciy : inside 50's).

Whilst Collingwood won, a team that is more efficient offensively would have mounted a considerable victory last night. So i wouldnt get too caught up with the Pies hype just yet. They are in form and found a way to win whilst resting their pensioners.

Sounds like us in 2022/23, who are these teams that are more efficient offensively?

Geelong beat them last week by 3 points, GWS pumped them in rd 1 but their form has since been the opposite of Collingwood. Adelaide can score but can’t defend and the Lions were dismantled by them two weeks ago. For me the Bulldogs are the second best team in the competition as they should be on six wins (they were undoubtedly robbed against Collingwood) and have been playing all year with key players missing. The way the play they are able at times to score consecutive goals very quickly and they also defend very well. We like a few other teams have been caught napping and are purely making up the numbers this year.

    Fremantle have snuck over the line against Sydney at home, had a three-goal win against the Bont-less Dogs at home, comfortably beaten Richmond and lost the rest.

    Their injury list is long, but Hayden Young is the only huge out. (That might be hard on O'Meara but not on Walters or Fyfe.)

    They've won one final and played in one finals series as they've assembled this list. (One final in nine years, actually).

    Is that list, seemingly considered excellent by a lot of people (not least of all their own supporters), actually pretty [censored]?

    The most interesting thing about Saint Kilda V Carlton is going to be which versions of their teams turn up?

    They can both be a bit Jekyll and Hyde.

    Will it be Jekyll V Jekyll? Hyde V Hyde? Or something in between.

    I don’t play close attention to how teams are allocated games at certain grounds but why are St Kilda, tenant of Marvel, playing a home game at the MCG?

    I wondered that too.Interesting watching Spurs play in Norway last night, ground capacity doesn't take preference over home ground advantage. AFL is manipulative and corrupt

    I think Treloar was missing as well as Weightman.

    I thought that Saints had been lobbying for one MCG home game each season, must have got their wish.

    Reasonably happy with the Blues so far ... you just never know with them 😁

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
