The Pies have to be the luckiest team in the comp in the last decade

Yep, in fact statistically the luckiest in AFL-VFL history during a H & A season, no?.

    The good news is that Collingwood will give the Cats a much tougher game than Freo would

    Geez gotta give credit to the Pies. Many thought they were cooked now and would have spent all their tickets.

    Pretty amazing run.

    Eventually but right now I give zero credit and zero $%&*s

    I detest Collingwood. I maintain my view they are the worst 16-6 and top 4 side the competition has ever seen, and possibly will ever see.

    They continue to win games when they are largely inept in key metrics. Contested ball, clearances, time in forward half, they are no good, but they get runs on late and their opponents [censored] the bed.

    So not only do they get to make top 4, but the Dogs, who have been limp all season, make finals.

    It's humorous seeing Carlton miss. It really is. But it's equally disgusting seeing Collingwood finish top 4. Sydney won't lose to St Kilda so it means one of Geelong and Collingwood is through to a prelim.

    My memory doesn’t go that far back, but I’d  believe you.

    I don't want to play the pies in a final. They remind of Leicester City in 2016. They just keep winning despite the odds

    Major umpiring blunder to McKay there with 2-3 mins to go. Was tackled without ball and pushed in the back. I’d be filthy. 

    There were a number of horrible decisions against Carlton in that quarter.

    The early mark to Cripps which was overturned on a block, when the block was caused by Quaynor pushing Silvagni.

    The missed push on Mackay.

    Still, Carlton had more than enough opportunity to win it without those frees. I mean, they only needed a draw, they had the ball at half forward with 90 seconds to go. What do they do? Kick to the pocket to a spare Collingwood player! Insane.

    Yeah but we don't want them beating geelong and getting into a prelim

    If we win our QF, fair chance we get them in our prelim. They lose to Geelong, they go through to a semi against Fremantle or the Dogs which, at the G, they won't lose.

    Also, we’re very welcome here. By Saints fans, that is. Swans fans not so much. 😁

    Woods get another close one.

    Wow, Carlton,  would have thought they learnt how to ice the game.

    They panicked.

    Free to Mckay and I thought Ginniven blocked Saad from the last marking contest.

    I reckon the pies will beat Geelong. They are battle hardened and full of belief. The cats have been playing practice matches

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
