Here's my take. Port and Brisbane have no chance winning it at the G, especially against the pies. So that leaves us as the only team that'll potentially threaten them come September.

Name one game an opposition team has put a hard tag on him where's he's had zero impact?

Oh come on Jaded. You're now taking the [censored]. I know you have your red and blue glasses firmly on, but to say they've average players in all fronts of the ground just shows you barely watch their games to actually appreciate how good they are ([censored] pains me to say that) First up, you do realise they are the number 1 defensive team in the competition right? How can you say they're average in defence when there's a stat that proves this which was showed On the Couch last week. Maynard, Murphy, Moore, Quaynor, Howe ans Noble are a solid back 6 that's carried them well this year. Degoey hasn't done a thing in finals? Had 26 and 2 goals against the cats last year, 24 and 1 goal against the dockers the following week and then got heavily tagged the week after against Sydney. His grand final in 2018 he had 14 and 3 goals playing predominantly as a forward. Week before in the Richmond game he had he kicked 4.1 and was close to BOG. They had a hard tag on Daicos tonight lol. Yet still had 23 and kicked a crucial goal in the last quarter. His influence in the last quarter was telling. Teams barely play hard tags now days. Name me one team that will threaten Collingwood who also play a traditional tagger? No one, except tonight. In fact name a game where a team has put a hard tag on Daicos where's he's struggled throughout the match. I'll wait.

Average defence? Mate do you watch any of their games? Darcy Moore will most likely be All Australian as will Isaac Quaynor who's one of the best small defenders in the game. Their midfield with now DeGoey and Siebottom back takes them up a level. They have one of the best midfield talent this generation has ever seen and will most likely win a Brownlow. You seriously underestimate them as club, it's actually laughable.

Yet they find ways to win. Their mental strength in games is incredibly impressive

Collingwood have one hand on the cup. It would have to be a giant [censored] up for them to lose it from here.

Never been a port hater at all. But this is great to watch by them!

Imagine..

They're [censored]. *Edit How is cr ap censored?

That's actually a big loss for them. The kid has been killing it and has played such an integral role in their midfield.

Brisbane certainly hate last quarters..

Thanks mate.

Couldnt watch the game today. Honest opinions on Grundy as a forward? Was it something that can potentially work at AFL level?

Bravo! 👏👏

If Tomlinson leaves, I presume we'll target an experienced defender as depth.

I made mention few pages back that I was stoked to see him get another game. I would like to see him play more midfield minutes instead of a half forward where he's been playing. That's where he's been in super form at VFL. Kid has a touch of class about him.

Here we go again. More rubbish speculation on some unknown dees player who supposedly has zero time for the Demon army. Seriously, who cares. Has nothing to do with this thread. Back on topic, here are a few dot points on what I'm looking forward to this weekend against the Crows • Max going solo again. If he has another game like he did against the Lions then the discussion ramps up again regarding the debate on Grundy's worth in the team • Another week for Brown and JVR to build some cohesion up forward. We really need this forward line humming before finals. • Petracca up forward and the midfield taking care of business without him. • Mcvee match up on Rankine. • Kozzie to hopefully show that he's back in form.

Good changes indeed

Good to see Taj Woewodin named in the starting line up. He played majority forward last week but I'd like to see him play more midfielder time. Has a touch of class that would be needed on the inside and out.

Ed Langdons 150th game as well.

Good changes. Would personally like to see Laurie play a full game for the next 4 weeks and see whether he's up to it.

Of all the things I've read and heard, this would have to be right up there as one of the most ridiculous statements going around.

My best advice is to maybe steer clear of any footy media discussion if this is going to rile you up as easy as it's done so here.

Yes the hysteria on here by our very own supporters is actually quiet bizarre. Amazing how some get so easily sucked in by people simply giving their opinions.
