Was Weitering lucky?
Seems ridiculous they would have the Tribunal hearing this week and not last week.

PREGAME: QF vs Collingwood
Strengths and Weakness analysis from AFL site. Collingwood v Melbourne, qualifying final Collingwood STRENGTHS: The Magpies' ball movement is among their many weapons, generating an inside 50 from 32.2 per cent of their defensive half chains and scoring from 13.8 per cent of their defensive half chains (both ranked No.1). They are also among the best pressure teams, leading the League for pressure rating differential this season and applying a pressure factor of 182. While some teams collapse to apply pressure before a clearance but get caught on the outside, the Magpies lead the AFL for applying pressure before and after a clearance. They have a balanced game in terms of score sources, ranking No.3 for points from turnover differential (+11.2) and No.2 for points from clearance differential (+8.7). WEAKNESS: Collingwood's weakness leading into finals has been ball-winning, losing the contested possession count by 8.7 per game (ranked No.16) and the groundball gets differential by 12 (No.17) since round 17. Melbourne STRENGTHS: The Demons remain among the best defensive teams in the AFL, ranking No.2 for points conceded (72.2) and No.1 for scores conceded per opposition inside 50. Defending transition is a key and the Demons have allowed their opposition to generate an inside 50 from just 24 per cent of defensive-half chains, and a score from just 9.1 per cent (both ranked No.1). With a strong turnover game, the Demons have scored 53.1 points a game from turnover this season and conceded the fewest points from turnover of any side (41.1 per game). WEAKNESS: Melbourne's weakness is its kicking, recording a kicking efficiency of just 63.9 per cent (ranked No.17). The 2021 premier's kick rating of -3.5 per cent for kicks going into the forward 50 ranks last.

PREGAME: QF vs Collingwood
What’s the minimum amount of time it has to rain during a game to constitute a ‘wet’ match? It rained during the Richmond game later in the year and we won that. Are you counting gather round in your 0-5? That loss had nothing to do with the rain. It was obvious from the first ten minutes we weren’t covering the ground well at all.

The boys won’t care how wet it is. In the first 8 weeks of 2021 we played in the rain about 4-5 times and won them all. This season we’ve lost a couple of close ones in the wet and some of our best footy came in the pouring rain during the third quarter of the Port game where we piled on 7 goals. Us being no good in the rain is a little overblown I think.

What They Are Saying at Victoria Park: QF 1
Lol, people are completely ignoring/forgetting that Melbourne have only beaten us like twice in 7-8 years. It’s like 6 times since 2015. They’ve won 8 in that period but we won’t worry about that.

Race 9 at Caulfield is a beauty.

CASEY:Â EF vs Footscray
I’m only guessing, but they are probably using a squad mentality when it comes to not playing any of the players you’ve mentioned napster. Monday is the main training session, probably want around 28 fresh bodies for it.

Christian Petracca and Jack Viney named in All Australian squad
Yep AF, a massive Congratulations to Trac. His 4th blazer got lost in the wash a bit. Trac became the third most capped Demon ever behind Gawn (6) and Paxy (5).

Methinks Trac will go home with a little Daicos clinging to each leg. Totally in awe they were of him.

Don’t think so. The tweet states ‘expect’ to see him in a moon boot for the rest of the week.

Bayley Fritsch Sent for Scans
An hour ago the club on its website put up an article on Fritta. ‘Fritsch firing just in time for finals’ Surely you don’t put a headline like that if something is amiss. I’m hoping anyway .
