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....

    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.

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
