I want some fight. I don’t expect to win, but if we play like we did in round 24 last year …

    Given that selection is done by a panel, not by the coach on their own (not that we have a full time senior coach yet) then, yep, the club as greater entity is responsible for the decision making.

    And last week's effort was flattered highly by the last 3 goals in junk time.

    Thousands upon thousands of posts on this site say otherwise.

    There's nothing quite like 'Hockey' ...

    I spent 1980 in the far north of Canada .

    Hockey night in Canada in a pub in the far north on a freezing night was / is something to remember.

    Just don't get reported Kozzie, please!

    Costing Collingwood the double chance would be a rare win in an otherwise terrible season.

    Totally agree with both comments.

    Borrowing from the Queen?, it truly has been a ‘annus horribilis’ season to date but…….if we happen to beat Collingwood tonight that then contributes to them not winning the premiership….all will be forgiven.

    Highly unlikely, but I still live in hope. GO DEES

    A win or a minor loss to knock them out of the double, a concussion to Maynard and a hammy to Daicos please.

    Now I'm not one to wish ill on opposition players, however I do feel that you've left out Darcy Moore here.

    Yep 100% agree.

    Which is why the trenchant criticism goody frequently received for selection criticism often reflected an ignorance about how AFL teams operate (which was the subtext of my comment).

    It looked like a similar situation here:

    2023 Rd19 – Port Adelaide (2nd) vs Collingwood (1st) at Adelaide Oval. It went down to the wire. PA 12.11 (83) def. by Coll 13.7 (85). Coll won by 2.

    2025 Rd23 – Adelaide (1st) vs Collingwood (3rd) at Adelaide Oval. It went down to the wire. Adel 9.5 (59) def. Coll 8.8 (56). Adel won by 3.

    2023 Rd20 – A Friday night at the MCG, 6 days after Rd19. Collingwood vs Carlton. Coll 10.16 (76) def. by Carl 14.9 (93). Carlton won by 17. Three of Coll’s 10 goals were kicked by Jeremy Howe, who was sent forward in the 4th quarter.

    2025 Rd24 – A Friday night at the MCG, 6 days after Rd23. Collingwood vs Melbourne. I'd expect our Dees to run Coll's legs off in the 2nd half or in the 4th quarter ...

    Can we do it? 

    Yes, if we really want to beat them!

    Go Dees!

    When Langdon goes to Daicos and the Collingwood players come for him to protect their player which they will I want to see some pride and passion from the Melbourne players. Stand up for your teammate and your club. If I see post game cuddles and jumper swapping with Maynard or Moore that will just about do me.

    By the by I love how posters are now criticising the 'club' for performance and selection decisions not the coach.

    Suits their agenda. Anyway everyone knows that the board selects the team. They gotta go, again.

    Pies easily.

    The other day someone on here said maybe Sharpie will tag Naicos. I can’t remember who said it but wondering if anyone thinks there’s any chance of this happening (?)

    and talking about team selection generally, at the Tigers before Hafey, Richmond and Wilson, the team was selected by the parish council at St Ignatius. (Sure is much rubbish stuck in my head)

    Has everyone given up 😳

    Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... after she double checks today is Friday ...

    Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    Seems to be that way Luci.

    My back injury has prevented me from attending recently so my head is in the wilderness a bit with match times.

    These last 3 weeks I've just assumed we had the Sunday late game until my mum texts me 'Go Dees' about an hour before the bounce and I go into a mad and juvenile panic!

    I gave up after the saints game LH. My only interest in AFL is who we pick as coach and who gets traded from our list. A small correction. I am interested in how some of our Casey players perform in the finals games. I looked at the list last night and I reckon there are at least 8 who will never be senior level players.

    #Tautology 🤣

    Win, lose or draw their supporters are boss-level feral. One of our members was spat on by a teenage girl following their thumping win over us in round 24 last year. She was with adults (presumably her parents) who did nothing about it. The rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the rotten tree.

    I'm going tonight. A month ago I said no way am I going to this game.

    However now that they can't finish on top & secure the minor premiership has helped.

    I feel like I'm bookending our season. I was there r1 so may as well go r24.

    I'm a little intrigued on what will happen.

    I don't really enjoy watching it on TV

    Plus may as well go to the mighty ground.

    But just imagine if we could beat them

    In 3 hours I'll probably regret my decision once I'm surrounded by filth

    Didn't she also say, "Grief is the price we pay for winning a premiership"?

    [censored] Collingwood supporters must breed like rabbits. Their numbers seem to grow on a weekly basis. I’m at Flinders right now and the place is swarming with them and there’s still three hours to go. There are little infestations of them everywhere. Take a break, exterminators. No amount of pesticide would remedy this plague.

    Conversely, I’ve yet to see a single Dees fan. But I’ve been approached by numerous people with words of support which is nice (except for the ones who pitied me, no one likes being pitied).

    All good though, these feral [censored]-ers can try but they won’t bring me down.

    GO DEES!!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
