    GC and Port have a better Percentage than the Pies! Can’t wait to see them with a tough draw next. Won’t make finals

    Lost our first game in round 11 and now there are several teams equal on wins. Second half of the season has been a flop for us (so far)

    Are we on the way to doing a North circa (I can't remember)

    I am so happy though that we are loaded

    Pies could do some damage in the finals.

    Unlike Carlton and Freo, Collingwood have plenty of veterans that played in the 18, 19 and 20 finals series. They’re not as young as the media make them out to be.

    I get it that they’re just scraping over the line against mediocrity but I wouldn’t rule them out in winning the flag. 

    I’d say Geelong would beat them in a final though.

    Sigh.

    They're 7-1 now in games decided by under two goals.

    I would love to know if there has ever been a side sit this high on the ladder this late into a season with a percentage of 106.2%.

    In their last 3 games they’ve beaten The Suns, North and The Crows by an average of 6 points.

    Sides come up with 3 more goals across their last 240 minutes of footy and they’d be 10th.

    Seriously think your underestimating Collingwood.

    Didnt see the game obviously a good contest and i notice frees about the same at Adelaide Oval. Collingwood got loads of them as did the  crows. Pies 22 frees last i looked may have been more.

    Melbourne? 3 frees in 3 quarters at the same game r16.

    How would Collingwood have gone getting 3 frees after qtr time today? Highly likely they would have lost.

    B****y Collingwood. As much as I admire Pendlebury I despise the jumper, the club, the club's history built on the back of John Wren's dirty money, and especially Ginnivan. I reckon I will watch the replay of the next game they lose. The fact they are equal with us on points makes me puke.

    That is something that will never happen. Umps like Collingwood as they do Carlton and the Dogs.

    There are few guarantees in life, but I reckon it's a dead set certainty that if it was us winning these close games against bottom six sides, you would be writing us off entirely as fluking it. Yet Collingwood does it and they are a chance to win the flag.

    Did Ginnivan drop his knee into the Crows player's neck/upper chest (late in the 3rd/early in the 4th) when they were wrestling on the ground?

    As it currently stands 5 teams on 48 points at the top of the ladder. If the blues were to get up, that would be 6 on 48+ points before we play....this is not the game we want to lose.

    Yes - they’re a chance for the flag.

    You disagree?

    Ginnivan is a [censored] but he is a hard player who gets to the ball. Im starting to think he is ok.

    I wish our pressure and tackling was as manic as what Collingwood’s has been for most of this year.

    When you know you're not going to get pinged when you tackle from some whistle crazy maggot, it makes a difference to both facets of pressure. That of course notwithstanding several  of the biggest appealers in the AFL.

    McRae close to coach of the year. The pies won't keep winning close games but he is extracting the maximum from this team. They tackle and pressure as good as any, run both ways and they take the game on. I hope they flame out later in the year but you never know. They could well go deep into finals

    Looks like North are going to tease us again

    Hard not to get excited though. 10.2 to 3.12. Keep it up, North!

    HQ would like North, Carlton, Sydney, Port and Gold Coast to win. 6 teams on 48, 1 on 44 and 8th spot still open with 5 teams on 36 points.

    Genuinely disgraceful from North. Where has this been all year? 
    Gotta feel for Noble.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
