 Will that thug Michael Long’s nephew go for that head hit on Macrae? 
Headhunting in the genes!

His uncle nearly killed troy simmonds, I've detested him ever since.  The hit today looked bad but wasnt much damage done, he'll probably get a fine.

    Stop making excuses! We need to grow up and get past this mentality as a club and as a supporter base.

    Spot on mate. The Filth were treated like Leppers this week and they made it a challenge. 
    we would have complained 

    there is the difference in attitude. 
    How many finals series have the filth played since 1964?

    They always front up...

    Remarkable game by the Pies unfortunately they made the Finals and we didn't . They are mentally much tougher than we are and l don't like to say it however that  it is a fact.   The proof is in the pudding they beat the WCE in a final  as underdogs when it counted.

    I hope our guys understand what it takes  to play finals .

    As much as l hate them tonight l admire there urgency and want. It was hard earned.

    As much as I hate to say it geelong must beat the pies next week because if the pies get through I fear they will beat brisbane and nothing would make me feel more ill if the pies get into a gf from 8th spot.

    I've got a confession. I dislike Geelong more than Collingwood.

    I share your views Dees189227. I just can't cop Collingwood, it's non-negotiable and they are the no.1 team that needs to exit the finals prontissimo.

    Yeah, I don’t really get the consistent ‘watching these games we are a mile off’. I really don’t think we are.

    Agree we are not, but our forward line has not functioned properly for 2 years. We let the ball walts out of our F50 without any sustained pressure whatsoever.

    I would offer Mihochek a 4 year deal on 600k a year, tackles, chases, takes pack marks, Good conversion rate, big tank and splits packs.

    Worth every cent.

    Better structure and system for WC but pies still found a away to win.

    love seeing the west coast get beat in Perth and their feral supporters losing their minds.

    Ditto. Would have enjoyed more images of the crowd leaving though for a thorough gloat. First time I can remember not minding seeing the Pies win.

    Very obvious We lack quality forwards who can create a contest, take a Mark & keep the ball in the fwd line. All the finals teams have them who are ours??? No question we get the ball into our fwd 50 enough times

    Are you telling me all those Collingwood supporters live in Perth? Something fishy going on here. Looks like people smugglers were busy this week getting certain groups across multiple borders. Or did they arrive via boats.

    Yep, there are heaps in Perth...

    If, but’s and maybes but we ain’t and it’s our own fault we aren’t playing finals at the end of the day. 

    Agree but cannot help thinking the only reason Collingwood made it is because we stuffed up in Cairns. As the final season finished they are the team we should have replaced in the final 8. So if Collingwood go on in October it is our fault!! The horror

    If we replaced Collingwood in the 8 West Coast would’ve beaten us by 10 goals

    Carins was bad for us in challenging scheduling circumstances.

    But what really cost us were two games we let slip earlier in the season that would have got us into finals:

    • Geelong where we experimented with one tall fwd being a sluggish TMac.  It didn't work.  We lost by a few points.
    • Bulldogs.  We played them off long breaks (7 days and before that 6 days) after 3 good wins and we were terrible.  We gave them our spot in the finals that day.

    Win either of those and we would have been 7th playing the saints yesterday who we could have beaten.  And play the pies next week, another winnable game to make a prelim vs Brisbane.

    But for the ifs and buts we were 9th.   Oh, what might have been...

    Just to note: we beat both Collingwood and St Kilda recently. The stuffed non-shot at goal by Tomlinson against Geelong and who knows????

    Not making excuses. Simply expressing admiration for the people who run the Collingwood Football Club and who always fight tooth and nail to get the best deal for the team.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
