^Very good result for us. Takes Brisbane's heat off us a little, and reinforces the MCG Hoodoo on them.

Melbourne have just ruined one of my pet theories. I reckon in recent years the team that gets to 100 points first always wins.

Not last night!

Was a good game to be at... %$^ this joint is cold though!

Changed my tip to Brisbane at the last minute.... every time I've done that this season has been a mistake.

Not 100% of the time. The last time I did the stats about 5 or 6 years ago, it was 97.5 % of the time. Probably around about the same now.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️

Given the 7 changes Port might well have decided to prioritise the game against us next week.

Of course if they lose today and manage to beat us at home they'll still find themselves in the same exact position on the ladder as of this week.

Looks to be correct weight swoop.

Blues 40 points up currently, are the benefactors.
