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

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
