Where and when: 3:20pm Monday 14 June at the SCG
What it means for the Demons: If they win they will join a mess O teams at 3 wins, which is just barely enough to make a run from. If they lost the are a few Crows wins fro the wooden spoon. Meaning they finish 17th.
What it means for the Pies: Another tie with Richmond in points so either 5th or 6th depending on percentage. If they lose they stay in the mix for finals and have to deal with a week, no sorry, a few days, of talking about their off field distractions.
Supercoach Watch:
Melbourne: Oliver and Petracca, Jordon. May, Lever. Gawn of course. Hermes and Tommy McD.
Collingwood: Pies: Not Grundy, Moore, Poulter, Bianco, Murphy, Sidebottom, Crisp.
Father Dougal’s Watch: Moore! Lots of player this time, but I’m watching one of my few happy differentials.
Father Dougal’s Tip: I see no way to not pick the Demons. By 20

Pumped for this game. Think it’ll be close due to the bucks factor.
Struggling with what to do with the C. Thinking of rolling the dice in Gawn or Clarry but not sure which one
TU – Clarry
TD – Big Max
No late changes
Medical Subs –
Melbourne : Kade Chandler
Collingwood : Jay Rantall
Cheers, CT, and afternoon to everyone.
C Gawn, Satan and Racca to close it out for me here. Also need Petracca to put SideB be away by 25+ to win a crucial league match up.
Have tipped Melbourne but SURELY the Pies fire up for Buckley. Even as an Eagles supporter, Buckley has been hard done by. Pies very competitive for the last few years, honestly more so their list management, board dramas and feral fans that have done them in.
Reading you summary just shows how much the fortunes of these two sides have changed since last year, a massive swing.
Oh dear. I see I forgot to fix that. Sigh. Been that sort of week
Take Lairds 132 or back in Gawn to go large?
TU – Laird 132
TD – Gawn ???
I took Laird. Don’t see the sense in taking a risk for an extra 15 points.
Watch Gawn go big and me steaming over taking VC Kelly’s score! As a pie fan I’m hoping they can play all 4 quarters but dees not really looking like they have a weakness this year! I’ve got Oliver, Gawn, May, Bianco and Poulter in an attempt to get to 2000 this week before the carnage of next week! Go pies!
Accidentally put the C on Whitfield, but he’s a chance to be my 19th player with 74. Unlikely, with Bianco, Poulter and Murphy to come, but a chance.
If his 74 is my 19th highest score, will it drop out or do I still get his 148 (C)?
Traded him in for Jordon ffs.
Geesh…was looking at one up one down with Jordan next week…might have to reconsider. Got 49 pts in q1 but -25 metres gained !!
Jordan and Highmore traded out this week for me…… Hahah
Can’t complain though, brought in Kelly and put VC on him.
Means I can just enjoy the game as not many uniques. Oliver, Gawn, Bianco, Poulter…
It looks like Murphy is sore he ain’t doing much might not reach the BE.
Petracca being tagged by Madgen
Ooof, Gawn C…
Coming home strong.
He may not get scaled well if the Dees lose ?
C on Gawn……
Jordon and Highmore out for Whitfield and Powell-Pepper… best keep the sharp objects out of my reach
Captain choice Gawn vs Oliver , never fails – always ends up being the wrong decision.
Told myself safer to go Gawn as my main opponent had him as captain and I should have him covered if I chose the same Captain. So brain said Gawn. Heart said Oliver. Just didn’t want to risk it.
Your opponent would be me, Lisa.
Dw, May and Jordon are putting me on blast. You’ve got this, congrats.
Predictor still has you beating me by 24 points GB. I was keeping a close on your team before the game to see if you switched to Oliver – I would have followed. Still a big half to go….it’s anyone’s match at this point.
……and me !!!
Half Time and its the Pies 6.8.44 leading the Demons 4.4.28. Would love to know the stats of how often a team unexpectedly wins the next game when a Captain is stood down / walks away mid season. Would also love to see the Pies win this for Bucks.

Nathan Murphy subbed out at half time also – med sub of Jay Rantall will be on.
Cmon pies! 2 more quarters.
Pendles may come into contention as a cheap M8 in R15.
He should be $400k- $410k with a 100-120 today.
He’s getting CBA’s again,and looks great.
Harvey is coaching for the job, I can’t see him playing the Captain anywhere else.
Agree with this also – something I strongly considered before the game today. The way Impey has been the past few weeks, might look at swapping him out via DPP for Pendles.
Yep sound good lisa.
He should be about $430K
Picked him up this morning as a purely speculative pick. Happy so far…
We all thought Gawn would dominate collingwood with no ruck.
Gawn 1 hit out to advantage, seriously Max you’re up against a rookie and that’s all ya got, lift FFS!!
Apologies everyone for the Gawn debacle………
Nathan Murphy subbed off left thigh corked
Bianco has well and truly hit a wall. I’m not sure if he’s playing a different role to the past 2 weeks but he’s anonymous out there and when he does get the ball his use is poor.
Big last, Maxxy. Cmon.
57 point quarter for Big Maxy!
Cmon pies just hang on! One more win for bucks PLEEEEEEASE
HUGE 3rd Qtr from Gawn – 64 points if you don’t mind umpire! And this game hangs in the balance. Collingwood lead 8.12.60 to Melb 8.6.54

Lynch has been robbed by CD who are apparently giving his scores to gawn
Dare to dream pie fans
Held my nerve and didn’t get Bianco cause of his bye next week. Saved a trade.
Pendles c & c ???…….isn’t that what Capts are expected to do these days…….or is it a union rep role…….???….LOL
HTF did Gawn get that score? he was given a lesson by rookies and hardly a HO to advantage
LOL demons supporter blaming me for their lack of heart
