I thought pies were a sneaky chance with their top 4 chances on the line but didn't have the balls to tip them...

    I am not surpised the pies won, that's what they do. Lift in big games. 

    But how pathetic were west coast in that final term. They had there best team in, yes they lost Cripps but the pies lost Moore therefore Kennedy and Darling should have dominated. Darling did well but Kennedy had a shocker. 

    They led by 16 points at 3/4 time on there home ground and all they kicked was 1 measly point. That just isn't good enough. They had a chance to go 2 games clear of the pies and sit nicely on 2nd spot. They blew it big time tonight. 

    Now we have to hear about the pies win. Thank you west coast.

    That measly point was their only score since the 10 minute mark of the 3rd. Completely lost their way.

    Maggots keeping Magpies in it.  A very rare occurrence over there. The AFL will be thrilled with the closeness of it. 

    I wonder if Stevo had a few (through his mate of course) on a close result.

    Maybe the conversation Bucks had with the umpires at the start might have been to confirm the odds were in the favour of a close result. Oh and a magpie payout would be more beneficial.

    Was there tonight great game and great result. Meth Coast is a team I despise and I tipped the Pies.

    Thought Pies were lucky to be that close at halftime but they controlled the 2nd half didn't get rewarded in the 3rd and looked in the 4th as if they weren't going to capitalize for their dominance inside 50m.

    Grundy destroyed Natanui around the ground, Goodwin and the FD need to learn from that along with Maynes job on Hurn.

    You know what they do Mono ?? They hide guys like Cameron in the Waffle..... Noone knows anything about them over here and they get picked number 59 or something!!!

    Crackin Win by Collingwood!!

    Ffs they didn't hide him, everyone knew about him. He was outstanding in the WAFL Colts.

    Let's not rewrite history he was part of their next generation academy and were never giving him up.

    Freo are also going to do the same this year with Liam Henry.

    We could do with getting some value out of our NT deal and getting first access to their kids from outback communities

    Far out Cameron, the 18yo brother of Charlie was picked at 39 as part of the WC academy.  how the hell did he not go first round, did no one bid on him?  seems like a top 5 talent to me.

    We are so far behind WC's fwd line it is not funny.

    I agree Pennent, we need to work on a NT academy.

    Its one of the reasons Matty Whelan' was recruited "... He will also manage the club’s Reconciliation Action Plan, in conjunction with the current working group, focus on the Next Generation Academy, with an emphasis on Alice Springs and the club’s Indigenous/Multicultural pathways, plus build relationships in the Northern Territory..."  whelan-rejoins-melbourne-in-new-role

    The role was created 2.5 years ago but haven't heard anything re talent development around Alice or NT.  Hopefully Matty has some players in the wings to unveil soon...

    Be interesting to see if Caro and Barrett think Collingwood “over celebrated” at the end.

    de Goey looked like he was doing Riverdance when the siren went and there were more Collingwood jumpers dry humping than in a Centrelink queue.

    As much as I hate the hate the filth, I have to admit that it was an impressive win against a top side interstate.

    Can I get in early and say to any StKIlda fan going down to geelong tonight to sit though what Im assuming is going to be a cold, wet windy night and I think it could be a hiding well done to you and also sitting through with geelong fans around you. 

    The game in Tassie could be interesting today as well. I reckon the hawks will get the job done although Gunston could be a loss. 

    But Nth please do us a favour and win today. 

    Can someone explain why richmond get there last 7 games all at the G? Yes I know they are a team that people watch, 2 years ago they won the flag and I know they won't be the home team for all games but serioulsy 7. That gives them a dream run. They don't have to go anywhere.

    Conflicted about the Swans-Blues result. Swans lose and we can feasibly finish higher. But equally Blues more likely to overtake us and gift us a top two pick.

    Wonder if Cunnington will punch anyone in the guts again. Has done it 5 times this year and has yet to be suspended.

    Yep. I could've sworn the rule was if you're fined 3 times in a year it's an automatic suspension.

    Edit

    According to this story from 2017, it is (was) 3 fines = suspension:

    When did this change?

    nothing to see here... He is an expert at it, and  must have done it a lot at school methinks, just to get the kids who paid out on his name.

    Was really impressed by the way The Pies ground their way back into the game last night. They did exactly what we can't manage,   they were dominated then just stopped the opposition,  nothing pretty and the rest came from there. Our defensive workrate has been seriously wanting much of this year

    Ben Cunnington has done it again

    I am still [censored] off from when he hit Bernie Vince. He needs to be dealt with. The MRP won’t touch him

    Yeah these big bad North Melbourne players are a protected species. I mean C'mon.

    I've watched the Bummers last four matches and no other team has got a better run with the umps this year than them (I don't include West Coast with umpire Dean Margetts as that's the gold standard)

    Your not allowed to say impressed and Pies in the same sentence.

    Yeah Cunnington was lucky he hit the footy and not the essendon players stomach. But seriously is he stupid or what? I mean he has been fined over 15.000 so far this year. He has been wanred about doing it and he tries to do it again. 

    When he did it to Vince people called Vince out for going down easily but he has shown form doing this. 

    Not that I condone it but Ablett got booed for his 2 shots no one does it to cunnington. I guess he isn't the superstar player.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
