Someone go and tell Carlton to put a couple of players (with running speed) in the middle .

And the Carlton forward coach might think to make sure they have a couple of crumbers in front of the forwards when they send in those repeated helicopter kicks that will inevitably get punched forward. Everytime there were 2 Pies and zero Blues to take the ball away.

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

    Id much prefer the Pies in a prelim over the Cats. Cats are the only team that can beat us in a final. Maybe swans

    Carlton were the better side and lost. The filth are a disgrace. Now there is a QF between the 2 worst sides in the universe. Geelong and filth.

    I'd rather play the Pies in a GF than a PF where their crowd dominates. In a GF there's enough neutrals to remove that advantage.

    I'd rather play Geelong in a final than Collingwood.

    Yes, it's good to see Carlton complete the biggest choke in AFL history. But a Carlton win would have sent Collingwood into an EF against Richmond, a strong chance of losing and disappearing from the finals.

    Now they either beat Geelong and make a prelim, or lose then get the "easy" semi (Fremantle or the Dogs) and make a prelim.

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

    The one difference between Geelong and the rest of the comp is that I don't see Geelong coughing up a 25 point fourth quarter lead to Collingwood.

    They are flaky in finals of course, but still.

    They had that mark and a player standing on his own 35 from goal and went to the pocket.

    Well .... The Blues game plan did remind me alot of ours.
    Might get drummed into them as well.

    If the Pies beat Geelong we will meet them in the PF unless they go out in straight sets. Or we do.

    Cats can't beat us in a final.

    Just whisper the name Max into each player and their cooked.

    Geelong have a horrid first up finals record, currently 1 win from 8 goes.

    Nup I could not sit through it if we lost. I don't think I'd ever recover

    Bloody Carlton you gave up a good lead.

    And Jamie Elliot is a class player. Balls of steel. Despite playing for the pies I can't hate him and Pendlebury

    if they choke in the QF and Collingwood makes the prelim, they'll get the loser of us/Sydney or Richmond.

    That's the "hard" prelim. 

    The "easy" prelim is the other side, which we'll get if we can beat Sydney next week. We'll get the Geelong/Collingwood loser or the Fremantle/Dogs winner.

    I'd take a prelim at the G against any of those sides, except Collingwood.

    • 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?
