Why is that a free kick.

Freo and Port are big "get [censored]" vibes from me.

This umpiring is horrid.

If the Daicos bros have what I just had, I legit feel sorry for them. I have never felt so unwell. Woke up with white tonsils, sore throat, headache, running nose... slept almost 20 straight hours. Zero energy. Couldn't eat. Lasted 2-3 days. Then suddenly better. Can't see them getting up for Monday if they're still sick today. What's goint around Melbourne atm is brutal.

Kmart Petracca likely on his way to Aldi Santorini by now.

Yes totally comparable to a weekend long camp that traumatised Indigenous players and attacked players who had lost family members. Totally comparable.

Collingwood supporting mate of mine said it was destiny that we'd meet in the Grand Final and Melbourne would win. A bit like Geelong always beating Hawthorn during the season but Hawks always got them in finals.

I'm going to be in the AFL Reserve. May Got have mercy on my soul.

Maybe I'm crazy but we are far and away premiership favourites imv. We have A-grades on every line. Not a single player in our Best 22 wouldn't get a game at another top 4 team. At our best we beat anyone. Looking forward to people taking us seriously when we bury the Pies on Monday.

nah, he's too white.

pickett's game on Friday is underrated for this reason.

we're the highest scoring team in the league lol get a grip.

I know highlights and goal packages have a purpose to show, well, highlights, but we looked very good in patches last night. The hysteria around our performance is weird. I really don't know what people expect. Carlton defended as they do and we defended better. We had the ball in had far more and never looked like losing. It was clinical and a great dress rehearsal for next week.

Haven't been more confident of a win this year. We'll bury them.

Let 2021 go mate. We're not going to dominate every week.

Scoreline flatters Carlton. We dominated. Carlton were awful. Convert a few of our missed shots to goals and it would have been a landslide. It was very a clinical performance. I thought we looked very good in patches. Some of the best passages of play for weeks. Carlton defended really well I thought. Outside of that never looked in doubt.

Blistering is wrong

"sell out" simply means all available tickets for sale have been sold. it has nothing to do with how many people actually rock up and scan their ticket.

His answers are going to [censored] some people off but I thought he spoke well.

Every time there's an article about Melbourne, Collingwood supporters come out from all angles. I have never seen a more threatened support base. Deep down they know we are the only genuine challenge to them. They are trying so hard to convince themselves we aren't that good. I very much look forward to belting them in 12 days.

Bulldogs fell off almost immediately and missed finals in 2018 and 2019. Consistent finals is a minimum. Winning flags is hard.

Good thing we're playing Carlton then.

We wouldn't have gotten 29k to Dockland though. Of that 29k, maybe 8k were in the MCC reserve. Throw in the MFC Member who doesn't attend Marvel games anyway and attendance would have been 12k-14k.

Brisbane, Melbourne and Collingwood are all absolutely primed for the flag. Good spread of young and experienced. Pies and Power are almost guaranteed top 4 imo. Lions have home ground advantage so Melbourne at most risk of falling out. Port, Bulldogs the smokeys. Crows, Saints, Bombers, Dockers, Cats will all win more games and push for 4th-8th. 15 wins normally nets you top 4, sometimes 16 wins is needed. Hazard a guess it'll be 16 minimim, 17 to be safe this season. Meaning we'll need to go 9-3 to end the season. Sounds like a tough ask but that's the reality of top 4. For top 8, 13 wins will guarantee you. We *should* beat Carlton x2, Geelong, Hawthorn, North, Sydney, GWS, Richmond, Adelaide, St Kilda. That's your 10 wins. At least one win against Collingwood and Brisbane would guarantee us top 2. Any game we drop against the former group will need to be made up when we play the latter. We have quite literally 10 games we're going to go in as favourites in. Missing top 4 from that position would be a disaster tbh.

SEN and AFL Media both with articles tonight about Melbourne needing to beat a top 4 side. Our record against top 4 and top 8 sides across 2022 and now 2023 is starting to give me Daniher-era vibes. We'd linger around the top most of the season but as soon as we faced a genuine contender we'd get convincingly beaten. We're no where near that but the vibes I get from neutral fans is similar.
