I hate the pies with a passion but their kicking skills were sublime against the Hawks

They will slice and dice us

JVR in for AJ i suppose

leave the rest of the team as is. its just shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic anyways given we can't kick for toffee


Outs: AJ, Lever & Oliver

Ins: JVR, Tmac & Viney

 

Another no-show like today would truly make us mince for the Pies.

The Johnson experiment is surely over. He has everything except talent.

Lever is under-cooked but even that does not excuse his woeful performance today.

Presumably Viney and either JVR or Jefferson will come in to shuffle the deckchairs on our rapidly sinking ship.

If Viney is still not ready, genuine fears for his career will not be far away.

Sad thing is if we had won today as expected there would have been real hype and an exciting buildup to the KB clash but as per usual we couldn't hold up our end of the deal.


Collingwood are primed for a record number of out the back and Joe the goose goals.

The guide dog association has offered to help with next week's game. Training with guide dogs in front of goal. Next week's score to improve and likely to be 7.24

This, but Viney also in, Laurie out (Sharp sub). Probably JVR in for 2nd ruck duties. If his hands are still made of cement, then straight back to Casey.

Lever is probably one of those players who will never be dropped, but after his 2 return games he really should be. Tmac’s form has been way better than what Rick has offered up in the 2 games (and last 3 years tbh).

If Lever actually got a sustained run at Casey taking gimme intercepts, it might do him the world of good.

Personnel isn't going to matter if we bring that level of pressure/effort. Doubt we go for drastic changes.

Out: Johnson, Laurie

In: JvR, Viney (if fit)

Tough on Laurie given the state of the game when he was subbed in but he is last in and first out most likely.

Injury watch on Melkshams' shoulder perhaps?


AJ to get two weeks, straight swap for jVR. If Viney is fit then he comes in to replace probably Laurie.

DO we roll the dice and put Jeffo in? Melks and Fritta did OK, except for their goal kicking……

Won’t matter - we have to defend like we did for most of the day and then take our chances the other way. When we defended poorly early, they piled on 6 goals. They scored sporadically after that - but when we kick 1.12 that is all they needed to do.

Type of player I disliked playing with. Lot of possessions but never found a man. Plenty like that in Junior footy. They win all the awards and get drafted without any one caring or noticing they can’t kick or take an overhead mark. Happy to be proven wrong but again today he had an opportunity to make a valuable kick and he couldn’t do it.

If the Saints match was very like us, then running Collingwood very close (and nailing shots from everywhere) is also very much like us.

I am terrified of what the Pies will do to us on KB. I haven’t been able to watch them play since that terrible violent act by that thug against Gus.

I am in the unfortunate situation being married to a passionate Pies supporter who will expect me to either go to the game with him or watch it together on the TV.

7 goals and 21 behinds

It’s quite the skill to kick so many behinds 😂

Sharp was horrible today, has to make way for Viney.

He's been horrible in every full game hes played. Folks on here get so blinded by his occasional sum cameos every now and then.

Hes a sub par VFL standard player.

Our forwards would probably trip over the dog.

He's a decent sub role player.

I think we pulled the wrong rein today with Laurie as sub and Spark as a starter. I thought that before the game too.

That said, Laurie was horrible when he came on.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
