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

PLEASING PLEASING  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:

    6  Ed Langdon (MELB)
    6  Clayton Oliver (MELB)
    6  Angus Brayshaw (MELB)
    4  Christian Petracca (MELB)
    3  Steele Sidebottom (COLL)
    3 Taylor Adams (COLL)
    2 Charlie Spargo (MELB)
     
    WOW.  Big difference in view of the coaches!  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.  But coaches had a very different view on who was best or second best on the ground.  Or 3rd best or 4th best or 5th best...
     

    That's 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. 

    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.

    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. Emotionally Intelligent, well done, especially after his spray.

    Agree. So often It's the exact opposite.

    Langdon was good but I certainly didnt think that good. Oliver 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.  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: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
