Abundantly clear how much you need to pressure your opponent in a final. Still gobsmacked by our lack of intensity last night.

Absolutely disgraceful that Pies will have a better season than us when you compare the stars we have.

Pies have a heap of finals experience as well as exciting young talent. People judge them off the back of 2021. They've played in 10 of 15 finals series since 2007 and all of their experienced players have big game performances on their resume including three grand finals and one flag. They are a genuine flag threat. Weird everyone has been writing them off all season.

    The Swans will be a brick wall next week

    Sydney v Collingwood looks like a cracker on paper, as long as the Swans win.

    I’m jealous watching Collingwood play such an attacking brand and going deeper into September than us despite an inferior list. After years of waiting for finals at the G again, watching us live the past two weeks was torture. We really need a gamestyle adjustment over summer or we’ll waste our window.

    Hopefully the Club, to the core, feels the same way

    Exactly right.

    They’re a proven quality side that simply had an off year in 2021, with off field issues all over the place.

    No doubt every man and his dog will predictably write them off against Sydney, despite going the distance against the 2022 premier elects in Geelong.

    This win that Collingwood are about to scoop easily, this is the exact type on win we were supposed to get last night.

    That Ginnivan kid is a great player. Has taken the playing for free out of his game mostly

    I can’t believe people are still underrating Collingwood, their sadly a very good team. Their midfield is bloody good they have a more skilful and smarter group than ours, their backline is solid and they have some very dangerous forwards. And there playing a style that suits there strengths and are a chance to win the premiership.

    Yep and hopefully the coaches are already hard at work trying to put a system together that will hold up against the attacking styles because it was definitely our weakness.

    I reckon Sydney have the work ethic and best balance of skill and determination, and Geelong have Jeremy Cameron looking like the best player in the comp.

    Long way to go yet.

    Actually that would be horribilis septimana
    Though I would think horribili tempore

    Just goes to show and remember that the rest of the season is just prep work for September.

    Need to get the game plan right through the year while winning enough games for top 4. Getting the squad fit at the pointy end

    Making sure you have enough guys running through the team through the year for every scenario - I called for JVR to play against Nth Melbourne, reason being he wasn't going to blooded in the lead up to September and it proved a bridge too far to debut him in finals ( despite Brisbane doing that exact thing in wek1).

    Need to be smarter off the ground

    I'd be fine with that. I will be shattered after beating us if Sydney lose to Collingwood. A Collingwood Geelong would be a nightmare. 

    Credit to pies fans though in turning out. 90,000 against freo is a good number.

    What a crap weekend of footy. Even the storm are out now

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
