That was Nero's fault. He fiddled instead of calling the fire brigade.

McKay is actually listed at 204cm.

It's a significant difference and that's where I thought Tomlinson battled well even though he was beaten.

I'd play him on Brody Mihocek.

Mihocek is an aerobic beast fwd he works his [censored] off and Tomlinson can go with him better than May

Let 2021 go mate. We're not going to dominate every week.

That's the thing. Some people think the last three minutes of the third quarter of GF was how played for the entirety of 2021. Recall the loss to GWS. Their midfielders waltzed out of centre bounces and our forward line was anaemic (picture high kicks to Spargo matched against two tall defenders...). Re-read the postgame thread; midfield rubbish, Fritsch to be dropped, Goodwin to be sacked. 

Form fluctuates. Sustained success is hard. Premierships are a possibility not a certainty.

Lots of focus on our opposition not being amazing but our gold coast win at metricon looks really good to me, as they knocked off the doggies who are in great form.

Such a tiresome stat that actually shows how we beat up on lowly teams and struggle against top 8 teams.

Following your logic you must be thrilled with our scores of 76, 72 and 61 in the last three weeks, lol

We have Coll, Cats at Geelong, Saints, Brisbane and Adelaide coming up, reality check time.

Good posting

Absolutely! See also the essendon win, hawthorn draw, loss to the bulldogs (stats were ok but we were really lacking connection), even the wins against West Coast and Adelaide at the end people were not very comfortable with. We played a lot of footy similar to last night in 2021. 

I wonder what Pies fans are saying about their performance against West Coast tonight

I sort of like it how we are going under the radar with mainstream media at this stage of the season. 

Same. Bar a couple of close losses this season is trending like 21.

I'd be pretty happy sitting on top of the ladder with one loss

Good for you 

You would probably declare season over at three quarter time.

Probably should be talking about Petracca's game more.

32 possessions, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 7 clearances, 15 ground ball gets (next highest for either side was Walsh with 8), 9 score involvements but also 27 pressure acts, 11 of which were in the defensive half, all from 83% game time. Did it on offence and defence. Truly superb.

He played with a chip on his shoulder last night, good to see

I don’t know. Am I? You tell me. In what way am I just too much?

If you’re gonna post your little rhetorical question how about you elaborate while you’re at it.

100%
The backline held the joint together for much of the middle part of the year.
Front end of the ground didn't work much better than ours is now though Kozzie and Frittta were kicking a few.

You have the power to choose that - don't hold back, treat yourself,  you deserve it!.

You understand this is blatant hypocrisy, right?

We win ugly, you talk about how we played terrible football.

Collingwood win ugly, you talk about their W-L record (i.e. suggesting the win is all that matters).

Collingwood had one ugly game while we've had quite a few ugly games.

Did you watch their win against North last week?

Imagine your reaction if we only beat North by 35 points and allowed them to kick 6 goals in a quarter. 
You’d be calling for a National inquiry

I'm sure you wouldn't be happy with conceding six in a quarter to North

  • 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

  • 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.
