Jesus Christ, how did he end up playing for East Perth in Round 1 off the back of those highlights from the preseason game?!?

Apparently the East Perth coach said something like "Welcome Chris to East Perth, that will be the last game you ever play for us" at the presentation (think he got the five Sandover votes)
 

Top West Coast Next Generation Academy prospect Koby Evans is facing the possibility of surgery after scans revealed he sustained a syndesmosis injury while playing for Perth on Saturday.

Evans injured his ankle in the final quarter of the Demons’ 13-point loss to Claremont at Mineral Resources Park and had scans on Sunday to determine the extent of the injury.

The 17-year-old will miss the rest of the season, a blow for the exciting potential draftee given he was set to play a part in Perth’s finals campaign.

At least it's not an Achilles.
 


Cornes and King rating every traded player from last year a Pass or Fail.

Graham - Pass
Baker - Pass

Owies - Not mentioned at all because he's been so bad they forget he even exists.

Look like we got pretty much what we expected, as far as his highs, it would be nice, if that was his normal output.

Well I never.
 
Found the article, wasted some train commute time skimming it... From my perspective it doesn't really articulate how they are disadvantaged by the draw with any conviction.
I read the disadvantage coming from the gold coast fixture being after their game, and they won't know the percentage required. Basically Collingwood need to win by the biggest amount they possibly can, rather than having a target score/percentage.

Well clearly it will need to be addressed for 2026. Next season, all Collingwood home matches or away against Victorian opposition will be played at the MCG. All away matches against non-Victorian opposition will require Collingwood to travel to Docklands.

Still a bit tough on Collingwood though. Having to head on multiple occasions to the other end of the Melbourne CBD, but we have to free up the MCG occasionally for other Victorian teams to get familiarity with the ground.

Hardly fair, the free kicks that get paid at the MCG won't get paid at Marvel.

There is that. But is that really that different from them having a Friday game and then the Suns having a Sunday game in a setting where all the teams had played 22 games starting the round?

I mean for goodness sake, they are disadvantaged by the fixturing. Oh to be that disadvantaged

The BODES get a gift run every year. Watch them get pumped by 10 goals in the prelim tho.

So Collingwood’s final round fixture against a bottom 5 team, their 14th at the MCG and their 17th in Melbourne for the year, wasn’t scheduled at the absolute best time for them?

There should definitely be an inquiry into that.
