I'm looking forward to seeing them get flogged by 100+ points ?

The Pies may not be the finest chocolates going around at the moment but they almost always give a 100% red hot go every game, making them a hard team to beat.

I would not even give them a millimeter let alone an inch.  Replay that match ten times over they probably win eight of them and they're looking ok and one of the team's to beat.

I must admit their forward line looks flakey though and too reliant on DeGoey kicking 4 to 5 each week to get them over the line.

Hoewever as we know, footy is very fickle, occasionally decided by the mere direction a ball bounces (see Milne 1st drawn GF 2010).

While they still have Pendles & Sidebottom (when in form) running around, write off the Pies at your peril.

    Check out the Dogs draw.  Made the finals last year, got gifted the #1 pick in the draft and then on top of it get the easiest draw you will ever see.

    They lost their first final and ended in the 7-12 Fixturing bracket. Pies & Saints might be in for a long year after winning theirs!

    I agree...I don’t think they are anywhere near a flag year but they always have a. “Red hot go”. I wonder however with the off season dramas which have been well documented...it might have an effect on the playing list. Buckley also seems “ different” & would not be at all surprised if things go pear shaped that he would just walk. They have a pretty easy run ahead ..West Coast at Optus the most challenging...however they could easily win 4 of those !

    North really are that bad.  Dogs clearly aren't going at 100% and the way the goals are accelerating it is on target to be a 100+ margin.

    I just thought the same thing. This is getting really ugly. Not great for David Noble. But nth have to let him develop the team his way. The thing is nth crowds are really going to drop off big time. As we know it isn't fun going week after week watching your team get thrashed.

    North are doing the bears a favour by bringing down footscray to their level.

    Yep and for North that road leads to Tassie. It always has, which is one of the reasons the AFL never set up an expansion team in Tassie. I think now the North supporters will embrace the move as a way to turn their club around.

    They used to destroy us when we were a basket case.  Didnt they beat us by 130  something points around 2012?   Their supporters loved it, openly mocked us.

    Hope they're even worse than what they have shown today the next decade.  Thought they will be in Tassie long before that could happen.

    I'd love to watch 186, it is a match that I missed and never bothered to watch on replay.  I can imagine it being much like North v Doggies but without a scrap of resistance between the first and last bounce.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’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 fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’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 King’s Birthday.
