Noble wishing he could call some sort of timeout & settle the Roo boys.

Gee Collingwood are annoying

Just annoying?


****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 ! 

If that Ginnivan want to duck his head in every play someone should just remove it from his shoulders.

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 :)

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

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

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
