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.

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

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.

I feel so bad for them. 🙁

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
