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?

    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 PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
