Roost it far

Had we won that flag we would have won 6 on the trot. We were strong favourites and Collingwood beat us up, literally. We lost. It also has absolutely no bearing on Thursdays game but whatever

He’s carrying a lot right now. He’s got help. Time to bat up and get the job done

You remain the Lone Wolf and I’d be proud of such a moniker

Spot on Big Fella. The players and the coaches have experience. Do we have the resolve, the inner fortitude and the mental strength to hit these 2 games at full tilt from the first bounce? Can we execute under extreme pressure because if we can we are good enough to do this. Watching Maynard cop his first Viney hit in 3 weeks will be a life affirming moment.

We need the first goal, preferably 2, it activates our crowd and quiet end their’s. If we’re 3 goals down inside 10 minutes god help us

Surely this won’t happen, we’ll get destroyed.

If we needed added motivation we just got it. It’s imperative we reach the GF. Get it done Demons.

None, my guess

They’re not appealing

Get the forwards to push up and leave Kosi and Trac in the Arc, we'd kick 60 goals a game.

Brown's point was clear, he believed Maynard wasn't guilty because as yet the AFL hasn't come down on poorly executed smothers as it has with bumps and tackles. He's wrong but it's not the worst opinion going around.

Post Covid the fan behaviour has plummeted. They should come down really hard on it for a year or 2 and sort it out.

A % of them absolutely do, you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise. The Collingwood people are hiding behind “accidental” and no “intent” just as many on here would go if we reversed the situation. Anywho, I think they’re scumbags and really hope we meet on GF Day.

Absolutely they would…..I mean absolutely they will. Can’t wait to meet them again.

You know what, they see it through Collingwood eyes just as we'd see it through Melbourne eyes if Viney did that too Pendlebury. In fact take out the crazy and it's the same stuff as we read here but through black and white eyes. 80% of them are just us born into a Collingwood family. (20% of them are inbred scum)

Perhaps Chandler goes sub and Spargo plays. I still think 3 changes is perhaps too many.

You can play either Brown or TMac but both would be suicide.

Yeh......Nah I think Goodwin is personally seething as he knows we had that match and how hard it is from here.

His best one yet.

My main emotion now, let’s just win this thing FFS. Go Dee’s, unleash hell!

That’s the biggest problem for us this week. If we aren’t switched on from the first bounce it’s curtains. We seem flat as a club with all that’s gone on. Now that either galvanises you and drives you to redemption or it crushes you and we’re out. It’s all in the head this week. A visit from John Northey might do the trick. One thing you can guarantee and that’s Carlton coming out pumped, ready and smelling blood. We need to make it their blood. (Metaphorically speaking)

We don’t play that way, in fact the 2 times replayed on On The Couch when our kick ins were unpredictable we took marks inside 50…….at the very least we need to stop bombing it in. I thought Gary Lyon’s analysis was spot on.

It'd good to have you back Big Fella! Demonland's nowhere without our resident crank! Keep up the good work and don't panic we got this!

Who's sadly out of form and regularly gets held to less than 10 possessions. If he could get 15-20 a game he'd play every game of the year. I was hoping he'd work his way back in and remain hopeful he can find his mojo in 24.

You don't win by luck with chaos entry, the Tiges won the 2017 flag this way.
