Fitzroy looking good. 
Maggots keeping magpies in it. 

it's "the rotting corpse of ol' fitzroy" and "the filth"

but other, 100% agree

 

I’d Berry the most underrated player in the league?  Star in the making 

Carn the lion.  Stick it up the pies. If pies lose this they have to beat Port to make the 8

Mihocek sends Buckley in a spin....’Don’t Come Monday’....goodness.

 

Stephenson and Fritta in the same forward line would be enlightening 


Ugh if we won last night we'd be sitting only 2 points behind the pies. 

I know they were 2 down and there best backman missing but not sure what damage the lions can do come September against stronger teams. They only kicked 1 point in the final term and were lucky they had a good 3/4 time lead. But nice to see the pies lose, hope eddie enjoys reading about it in the paper tomorrow.

Although Robinson is a psycho, he's a pretty good player. Gets a raw deal from the umpires.

When Maynard barreled him from behind and sent him flying to the ground, with umpire 6 a couple of metres away, I thought only a Pies player could avoid that free. I also thought back to the game a couple of rounds ago, when we had the mark on the siren, 10 metres out and AVB just gently pushed a player lying on the ground in the back and the mark was reversed. Only could happen to us.

Robinson had every right to go off at that umpire. He is the Perth umpire who supports WCE. In an ordinary season he would be dropped for that decision. It was as blatant as it could be. This year he will probably get the GF and especially if the Eagles are in it.

 

I watched that and just laughed.

The commentators talking up Maynard (who i really like by the way - always have him in my multis!!!) as a bulldog, and loving this and it being part of his make up etc. etc.

When AVDB lighly pushed someone the commentators crucified him and said it was ugly, a blight on the game etc. At half time they tore shreds off AVDB and were so over the top!

Which was a worse look? Which was more aggressive and unwarranted?

Not a word from them at all - i was really annoyed about that.

Then to hear the umpires with their condescending tone telling robinson to get up and that he was the instigator, so he didn't deserve the free kick. By verbally getting into someone you deserve to be run through your back 20 seconds later? That is a free kick every day of the week and he deserved to be bagged by the commentators, not lauded as a tough guy for wrestling with all the lions players.

We shouldn't be surprised, the AFL has no consistency and they will say it was the right call.

The only thing that surprised me was that it didn't happen to us!

  • 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.

  • 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.
