How absolutely horrible, annoying and pathetic was the chant “USA, USA” when Cox got the ball.

That alone was enough to turn me to the ?

    In the current climate,  totally agree.

    Relieved that the Pies blew it. They were outplayed for three quarters and it just needed the Weagles to put it on the board.

    Happiest mostly because J Howe does not get a medal. He and his manager made it impossible for us to keep him, and we were screwed as a result so screw you Jeremy.

    Umps will need to lift massively to get the Pies home from here

    Thinking the same thing, during the second and third quarters of the game. Wondered if Gil the Dill and the umps would dare?

    I must be the only person who thought the umps were actually ok. They kept the whistle in the picket but it seemed mostly consistent, the block the resulted in Sheeds goal was probably the most influential non decision and I’d say it was incorrect.

    An absolute belter of a game of footy.

    The umpiring was great in that they did not panic with decisions and were not whistle happy (like Razer & Nichols). This allowed the game to ebb & flow.

    I thought Ryan's tackling in the 2nf half was brilliant and Shuey was a worthy NS Medallist

    I totally agree with Monoccular. Totally cringeworthy, and annoying.

    The fact that he is American hardly justifies the chant. I don't recall "Ireland/Ireland" being chanted when Jimmy or Sean played. Or "Sudan/Sudan" being chanted for Daw.

    Aliir/Kenya, Johanissen/South Africa.

    The filth supporters constantly booing/calling "ball" was also annoying.

    The old man just texted me to ask who won more finals this year. Collingwood or Melbourne. As we know, it was Melbourne with 2. Collingwood also only managed to beat two top 8 teams for the year. Staggering.

    Collingwood also won two finals and beat three top 6 teams, including us.

    They don’t understand the rules of the game. Also why does one boo when a player on the other side is kicking for goal? It’s a legitimate attempt to score, there’s nothing unfair about it....

     

    by by the way, He WAS North American, once.

    So here’s a question, what did West Coast change/improve to make them go from average final 8 team to winning a premiership? What can we learn from them (given they too suffered a humiliating defeat in the finals last year)?

    Losing 2015 was a factor. With Darling and Kennedy up forward they trust them and kick to them (and why not) take those 2 out of the side and they are a shell

    Mcgovern can play....

    On looks he should be playing for Wangaratta, and i'd put $20 that he has the highest skinfolds in the league, but boy o boy what a gun. He is everything Rance is hyped to be.

    Absolutely. There are a couple of big guys playing for WC that defy fitness!!

    I agree. And what's great about it is that in 30 years' time Pie fans will still be complaining about it the way they do about 1979 (Wayne Harmes) and 1964 (Ball up rather then Pie free in front of goal with seconds left).

    Looks like Lloyd from dumb and dumber. The least likely looking footballer in the AFL.  

    Absolute gun of the highest order.

    Not testing Mcgoverns ribs out was a mistake and the block allowing sheed to mark should have been a free - holding maynard out and then not flying for the ball is against the rules I thought.

    Footy season ended last week for me.
    Though I'm glad the Pies got done so I don't have to listen to their multitude of morons.
    Sucked in a-holes

    Have a lot of pie friends , over the years have learnt not to communicate after a close loss in a gf.  Work mates are a different matter. 

    As been noted the  non call of the block will be shown as much as the wayne harmes boundary line knock on. Ill be hearing about for years to come.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
