It’s over - if you’re CEO, what’s the fix?
He is meeting all the right people. Believe me he has already started.

Guerra is making alot of moves before even starting. Nobody can be worse than Pert. I feel like all the Collingwood rejects infect us but at least Wright is going to Carlton.

PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
I was at the practise match where AMW did his knee. It was sickening and happened right in front of me. It wasn't a turn of direction ACL his leg was twisted and it popped. Before that he was probably best on ground. Absolute walk up start for round 1 and Windsor could have perhaps played on a wing where he belongs

Our new CEO has hit the ground running. I know that for a fact. He hasn't officially started yet but he has

Captain of Casey?

2025 Free Kick Differential
It's not even the most goals conceded from frees that concerns me. It's the ones the umpires don't pay and don't show up in the statistics. Kozzie running into open goal and deliberately tripped over comes to mind. MRO? Not a chance. Collingwood always win close games because they can do anything in the last 5 minutes without the umpire blowing the the whistle. If Nick Faicos goes near it you can bet on him getting a free kick

Jason Taylor - visionary or overrated
I wouldn't call 22 a bust just yet. Jeffo was always a project player and wasn't bad last week given the ball barely went into the forward line in the first or third quater. Sestan will be a player i haven't seen somebody built with hips and calves like that since Matthew Larkin who captained North before Carey. He will become a player. Adam's might be a miss

Can we talk about Kolt?
I can't believe posters are hanging him out for the kick he did last week that resulted in turnover and goal. The kick was good the gold Coast player came from nowhere. He'll learn from that. My concern is his GPS numbers demonstrate he has elite pace but when he gets near it he seems to have slow reaction time. He also can't kick very far for someone with pace which is puzzling. I can't think of any other player with fast twich fibres that struggles to kick 45 metres. Any comparison to Taps cotton is ridiculous that bloke could kick from 60m out and it would go through post height. Kolt has the right attitude and a presence. He reminds me more of disco not specifically as a player but has an aura about him like Disco. The best players have that. I think his reaction time will improve and then we have a real player

Who is our next captain?
He looked an obvious pick to me because of his charisma and media capabilities. I don't get to training often but what I saw last Thursday was somebody who didn't respect Viney when he was addressing the team. Brand Petracca completely rail roaded the talk. Good bye Trac

Who is our next captain?
When Max is 40?

Who is our next captain?
Who replaces Gawn as our next captain? The obvious picks 12 months ago were Petracca or Lever but that isn't happening. We can't go Trengrove & Grimes again and ruin young kids careers. Rivers hasn't come on. Sparrow is floundering. It really has to be Kozzie but I don't think he wants that responsibility and media attention. Am I missing anyone?

VOTES: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
I gave him 1 vote based on a bone crunching tackle and a handball. It's telling on demonland that at times has a mob mentality that looks at stats and rewards past performance Petracca barely raises a vote, despite having our most possesions. A norm smith medalist in our only premiership in 50 years and he is a list clogger. In the last few rounds don't worry about playing the kids. Let Petracca and Lever play completely unaccountable football, look better than they are, and get whatever we can for them. They both need to go and are a blight on our leadership group.

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
Breakout games for Kolt and Jeffo. Dees to win comfortably.

Blake Howes Re-Signs Until 2027
Metres gained is a pretty poor indicator of someone's performance. If he had double the metres gained with dump kicks would you rate it statistically better? At training on Thursday the coaches were imploring players to take the shorter option.

PREGAME: Rd 1 6 vs Gold Coast
FWIW worth Petty was slotting them from everywhere at training today. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't play forward

Archie Walsh - 2025 F/S Potential
Gee there aren't many players more underrated than Walsh in my 40 years of watching Melbourne. If he was playing you were much more likely to win.

NON-MFC: Round 15
Collingwood are like Dees in 2022., Sydney in 2024. When you are the best team all year it turns ugly for you. Watch it unravel for them.

Max Gawn shanks left - AGAIN
I don't know how many times i can say this and I'm pretty sure Brad Green reads Demonland and has enough influence. Max just take a snap shot instead of a drop punt where you hook it left everytime.

MFC CEO MIA
He has already started working for the club just not in his official capacity.

Games that stopped our dynasty - zero hanger article
I can name two where opposition should have been sent to MRO and suspended but no free kick was paid to us so they were overlooked to save the AFL embaressment

The Kalani White Thread
If Petracca or Oliver had an open forward line with 2 players open to run into goal demonland would go into meltdown. Kalani blazed away with no awareness. I want to back the kid but he is a long way off. His last term was fantastic

Time to go Goody?
Buckley is a walking disaster. He quit Brisbane to play in a team that plays finals when they had the best list of all time. He got rid of Collingwoods best players because they werent robots. Was nicknamed FIGJAM for a reason. I could go on about his off field behaviour but that would be inappropriate for deonland and have me blocked
