My one word analysis of the Pies game - PLEASING

PLEASING - To beat this mob anytime, any place any how.

PLEASING - To win three in a row is such convincing fashion.

PLEASING - to see Spargo snag a few with good positioning and movement. He also looks to have benefited physically from a good pre-season

PLEASING - to beat this team by 10 goals

PLEASING - to see a full 4 quarter performance from the team

PLEASING - to see a good even performance from the midfield.

PLEASING - to see Sparrow develop very well and look at home in a top class midfield

PLEASING - to watch Preuss' performance in the absence of Max

PLEASINGĀ PLEASINGĀ Ā PLEASING

    One other PLEASING aspect to the broadcast of the game was the vision of the rest of the list's reaction to the win and the smiles and cheering from the race. they look like a happy mob.

    Coaches votes are in:

    6Ā  Ed Langdon (MELB)
    6Ā  Clayton Oliver (MELB)
    6Ā  Angus Brayshaw (MELB)
    4Ā  Christian Petracca (MELB)
    3Ā Ā Steele Sidebottom (COLL)
    3 Taylor Adams (COLL)
    2 Charlie Spargo (MELB)
    Ā 
    WOW.Ā  Big difference in view of the coaches!Ā  Best guess split:
    5/1, 5/1, 4/2 for either Langdon/Oliver/Brayshaw
    4 for Petracca
    3 for Sidebottom
    3 for Adams
    2 for Spargo
    Langdon, Oliver and Brayshaw the only ones to get votes from both coaches.Ā  But coaches had a very different view on who was best or second best on the ground.Ā  Or 3rd best or 4th best or 5th best...
    Ā 

    That'sĀ as big a disparity as we have seen I suspect

    Watching just the highlights and I'm embarrassed by the favouritism we received from the umpires. It's not the first time I've said that vs. Collingwood. Strange. But I don't know how you could live with yourself being a West Coast fan. Also Spargo everywhere.Ā 

    Watching the actual replay and Lockhart has a long way to go still. Love his endeavour but he was out-positioned or -manoeuvred on multiple occasions and cost us in my opinion at least half the Pies' goals. Still happy for him to stay there. Or get Rivers in.Ā

    I think that was also Gary Pert in with the players at the end of the game.

    Good look that he was not with the corporates.

    Showing his support to the team.Ā Emotionally Intelligent, well done, especially after his spray.Ā Ā

    Agree. So often It's the exact opposite.

    Langdon was good but I certainly didnt think that good. OliverĀ has being awesome with his disposal the last 3 games. Now playing very clever footy. Gus has done a 360 and showing what we hoped he would. Definately found his calling in the middle. Trac going from strength to strength. Midfield is back to being rightly feared. Spargo puts in 110%.

    Langdon is now consisently very good because he is using his tank to burn off opponents and becomes a sole target and/or outlet player.Ā  It looks like he's doing it easy but its not his fault his opponentn can't keep with him.

    One of my favourite players now.

    Couldn't agree more 17

    The number of times this year he has been on his own, screaming for the ball, has been amazing. He seems to, until recently,to have been largely ignored by the midfielders

    He made a huge difference to our connectivness and cohesiveness.

    Brtlett was the one who gave the spray not Pert. Was good to see him there tho I agree, was sitting on the bench during the game as well, nice to see him get a win against his old mob.

    Keep it in mind he did it against Philips I think who has been an outstanding wingman for a few years.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sundayā€™s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when itā€™s over.Ā  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competitionā€™s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fieryĀ interaction between Max Gawn and Steven MayĀ at the end of the gameĀ was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneā€™s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on Kingā€™s Birthday.
