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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
