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 ?

    shows the importance of finishing top 4.

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
