    Pies won 11-5, but percentage only 107%, shows they’ve had a lot of close wins, but aren’t anything flash!

    Their luck will run out. What a bunch of cheats, ducking for frees all day. Sadly they are being umpired to the top 4.

    Pies won't beat Adelaide over there. They've ridden their luck

    If you take your arm off the ball to draw the tacklers arm high it should be considered prior and holding the ball. It’s ruining the game. Supporters absolutely loathe it.

    Trying to find positives, best one I can think of is it moves carlton down another rung and they can still miss the 8 :)

    Only made worse by the fact that a decent bar in Thailand is rendered positively toxic by a group of loud mouthed filth supporters

    2 behinds won't help or maybe the nth players want noble gone.

    Anyway it will be an interesting night at the noble house between Joh and his dad. 

    People going on about Ginnivan, players will just have to learn to tackle lower and then he will get pinned and look like a goose.

    Look at it this way.  All the Pies supporters will now have their hopes up and be dreaming of a Premiership, which will make them being bundled out of the finals all the more sweet for the rest of us.

    Yuck they have now jumped to 5th and only 1 game behind us. 

    Just one year it would nice to not have either essendon or the pies in the finals.

    They've had a very fortuitous season IMO.

    Beat Essendon by 11, Carlton by 4, Hawthorn by 4, GWS by 11, GC by 5 and now North by 7.

    5-0 in that run could so easily have been 3-2 or worse, which would have them back in the pack and/or out of the 8.

    To their credit they held on in all of those games, but generally speaking when a side does this well in close games they eventually regress back to the "norm", which is to not win 100% of them. Could happen this year with their moderately difficult run home, or otherwise we might find that next year they drop off in ladder position as you can't expect to continually win these close games.

    Have a mate who’s a North supporter - he was shattered. His text below after the game is eerily similar to what I’d have been sending out 10 years ago. We know what they’re going through.  

    “Could see it coming a mile a way. First 30 seconds of the last and I knew we’d stopped believing. Absolutely devastated.”

    All being well the Pies will crash and burn in the finals.

    If only nth could have kicked the 1st goal of the final term things could have been different. That's the lesson unfortunately.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
