    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 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.

    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

    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 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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
