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 PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
