Collingw&%$'s record outside Melbourne

Featured Replies

After watching Collingw&%$ fluff up in Dubai, it's no wonder they must play almost all of their games at home.

 

Yeah. What a great way to start the new footy year.

Also noticed how good the Crows are. Even when they're in a lull they're dangerous opposition. The old hatred still applies of course, but in the last few years I can't help but respect that club, and its players. Yes they have money, but still...

And hey, one of their rejects has come in and is now one of our better performers on the track, fitness wise at least.

Yeah and Andy Roddick is going to win the Aus Open.

Exhibitions will always mean nothing.

And Collingwood have an admirable record interstate anyway.

It doesn't matter what time of year, or where it is played, there is something beautiful about a scoreline which has Collingwood stitched up big time.

Great start to the year, now all we need is a win and we're away!

After seeing the first half of the Dubai game, I rate Melbourne a little higher...

Meanwhile, anyone else catch the 1976 grand final on ABC 2?

I know it's totally unfair given the changes, salaries, support staff, interchange, you name it... but holy hell, if people played that loose and static these days they'd be lynched by angry fans! And when a guy got flattened the first thing the trainers did when they got to him has PICK HIM UP. It's a miracle the trainers back then didn't send a dozen extra players a year to hospital.


I enjoyed the start to the season and yes, it is only pre-season but good to see the following: -

1. no matter what number Leon davis wears, he still cannot get a kick

2. anthony rocca's retirement will not affect the forward line - he has retired hasn't he because they mentioned that he was playing but wherever the ball went, he wasn't

3. nick maxwell being appointed as collingwood captaon would rival kane johnson as the worst captain in the afl

4. nathan buckley although incisive, is pretty biased when calling... look forward to him this year though

5. the pies were fatigued from living away from home for three weeks - tears!!

6. now they have to play in albany - surely mirthful knew this before they played!!

great way to start the year!!

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
