What's Collingwood ever done for Melbourne?

Pies have swindled us a bunch over the years. A late first round pick for Chris Dawes. Trading Geelong Clark and taking Lumumba so they could get Varcoe. Howe for Kennedy and change. Relieving them of the Grundy salary so we could embark on the most pointless experiment ever.

Sorta what I was getting at 😄

Jerry Seinfeld's what-the-deal-about spiel about sports fans was that ultimately we support laundry.... we love Howe, then he plays in a Collingwood jumper and we hate him. We get Grundy ... or perhaps Mihocek ... and that fresh new Melbourne jumper means now we love him. Go back many decades ago and Catholic and Protestant schoolboys would throw rocks at each other and marrying someone from the 'other' religion well, you'd think twice .... and I'm talking about here in Australia. This all seems as frivolous. While I love AFL fans booing and hissing at pantomime-like villains I really don't care about Buckley's past clubs. I sure hope the current grumbles are in jest.

BTW is Barassi our last official coach to have actually played for us? It never bothered me that the coaches since came from 'enemy territory'.

How could I have forgotten Grundy?!

Where to put him on the ledger?

    Really?

    Well, what symmetry if our putative next coach can deliver 6 premierships!

    What happened to '29, Goffy? Don't stint!

    A '28-to-'31 four-peat has a particularly relevant ring to it, 100 years on.

    …and 26 27?

    Can someone get the footage? I swear McGuire just said Petracca and Clarry have never achieved what Buckley did on the field.

    Heritier was good I thought in his 20 or so games. He also sealed that win against GC in Round 1 2015 which was our first Round 1 in like a decade. The crowd sounded like 80k when he kicked that goal. Great memory.

    A bit like Lachie Hunter’s tenure at the Dees.

    Year 1 he was a productive regular best 22. Year 2 he fell off the face of the earth from a footballing perspective.

    I mean technically it’s only bang, _, bang. The middle bang was Tommy Sparrow.

    But Oliver extracts it and handballs to Trac who gives it to Sparrow. They had their names written all over it

    One good thing that came from them to us is our current head of recruiting

    That is a very good get, reynolds!

    Straight to the top of the plus side of the ledger.

    Did he and our putative coach work together? Well?

    I'd like to think of what we could do for Collingwood in two weeks!

    Do Landers realise, if Adelaide hopefully thump Collingwood this week (or even just beat them) and we beat them in the last round, the Bulldogs would get ahead of them on percentage and the filth will be out of the finals. This is assuming the bullies beat West Coast this weekend then Freo at home the following.

    What a short but magnificently sweet deathride.

    Come on Dees (and Bulldogs) - GET ON BOARD

    What’s Collingwood ever done for Melbourne?

    Answer - In the past few years they have caused us (me) abject misery.

    I honestly hope we can return the favour a little in the last game of the home & away season (our mini grand final in August)🤞

    I saw a Facebook post on Monday from a bookie offering 200-1 that Collingwood miss the finals! Something like 14 or 15 different things have to happen for this marvelous dream to eventuate.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
