How good is Nick Daicos? Horne-Francis has been lapped already.

    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.

    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

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
