Gerald Healy giving Jeremy Howe a bath on Fox Footy. Pointing out his inadequacies very astutely.

Howeys revealing himself as a C grader with one A grade asset with every turnover.

 
 

Knew the Pies would get up. The Eagles are such downhill skiing pretenders... infuriating that we lost last week; relocate that game to the 'G and I bet we would've won without the BS one-sided umpiring and, probably, more accurate kicking.

He just picked out the only West Coast player with that last kick forward...

If we had played West Coast at the G, in similar conditions, a few weeks ago and been soundly beaten then I would agree.  It would be very disappointing.

But we didn't.  We played them on their home turf, much of it wet, slippery conditions, and if not for wasted opportunities that we should have taken, we win the game.  We didn't win it, but to suggest that our game against the Eagles is somehow similar to the one today and that things will 'get ugly' if the Pies get up is a sad, naive and short sighted response.  It's a response for those posters who love to wallow in negativity and they'll look for ANY way to push that feeling on others.

I say get stuffed.  Any reasonable Melbourne supporter would be disappointed with last week's loss (myself included), but see today's outcome, if the Pies get up, as not even close to a reflection of last week or that it shows we are 'behind' the Pies.  It's nonsense.

You seem content, indeed indulgent, to gloss over the obvious. Whilst we were winning everything ( except the game ) we manage to bag two magnificent points in the last qtr to choke. The Pies kicked it up a gear to 5 goals and WIN.

Your stance is what epiomises MFC excuses. Your welcome to it.

You're boring.  You've missed the point entirely and also missed the fact that I said, twice, that I was disappointed in the game last week.  Doesn't mean I have to take a dumb stance about it.  

I really don't want St Kilda to play finals but I would love to see Boomer lose his milestone match, especially after spending the whole week talking about how much he loves himself.

Roosy wouldn't be so foolish....

Oh well....no finals for Saints then.....as soon as i say that they kick one..

Edited by Wadda We Sing

St Kildas improvement is overrated.

In fact almost half of their wins (4 out of 9) have come against two sides - us (who they beat every year) and Essendon, who they were lucky to beat by just 11 points a few weeks ago.  Now struggling to kick a goal against an out of form North.

I swear, watching other clubs makes me go certifiably insane sometimes. St Kilda, that midget-burning basketcase with the perennial wool over us regardless of coach, players and gamestyle, have kicked 3 goals in an entire match, well into the fourth quarter against a thoroughly average team we nearly defeated.

Why are we so consistently bad against this mob... every... single... time!?

It's infuriating!!!!!!!!

AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Butcher - 15 touches, 10 marks, 3 goals at 3 quarter time.  He must be turning the... oh, wait.  It's against Brisbane.

Carry on.

Well, everyone turns into superstars against Brisbane.

They really are [censored], to put it mildly. Quite amusing to hear the AFL has ruled out any draft assistance despite their plight, and the drug cheats getting pick 1.

They are an absolute basket case at the minute.  Regardless of their win last week, they are worse than the drug cheats.

Even if it is against Brisbane, that's pretty good stats...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
