High free drawing cheats, even pendlebury has started doing it

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 :)

****ful result!

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

FMD !

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.

The bar has just been invaded by about a dozen paddies ! They are [censored] already! 
Ireland v NZ rugby is on!

Geez they’re fired up! The Guinness tap is taking some hammer!

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.

I suggest you start sinking some pints of the black stuff and join in the merriment

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
