The number of close wins theyve had reads like a fairytale. Theyre good at it but luck and dodgy umpiring certainly plays its role.

We probably  would of lost to the Pies if the game had gone another minute. Just one more crucial umpiring decision Pies way and the Pies win another game on the siren.

 

those thinking the Pies are lucky are kidding themselves. i thought they might have had some luck last year but they are doing it again and looking at a 20 win season

thats not luck

I imagine Kane Farrell is not Mr.Popular on the Port boards today.  The deliberate OOB that gave Elliott a makeable shot at goal and then dropping the pressure chest mark at the death.

And then dropped a sitter inside 50 from a JHF pass with a minute to go.

 

It's funny how the best teams have so many "lucky" wins.

The best teams fight to the end and always believe they can win. It's what separates them from the rest.

And we don’t? 
We fought back twice against the Lions, and against Port and held on against the Pies. Our average losing margin is exceptionally small for a reason. 

We just don’t get behind as often at the Pies, so nobody rates our ability to fight back and win. But that doesn’t mean we don’t or can’t. We fought back from 19 points down in a grand final and won by 70+.

Means nothing if you're fighting back and not getting the results.

Pies on the other hand simply get the results.

Agree. We’re rarely not in with a chance to win our games. It’s why we’re a contender as well.

We beat Lions, we beat Dogs, we beat Geelong. 
And I bet my bottom dollar that if Oliver doesn’t do his hamstring we beat Port as well. 
 

There is a lot to be said for fighting back and winning. But there’s equally a lot to be said for not needing to constantly fight back to win, don’t you think? 
Why is Pies coming back and winning more impressive than Melbourne being in every game we play and rarely being in a position to not win it?

Are you a Melbourne supporter? I think if there has been another minute e we would have won by over a goal.

6 win on the trot GWS move from 15th to 5th

madness

anyone want to fill spots 5-8 in finals?

St Kilda being able to start the last two seasons the same and fade out the same is uncanny, 

When are they sacking Ross the Boss?


These over-celebrations by the Saints players after kicking a goal is hilarious.

You’re on 61 points with 10 minutes left against the second worst team in the comp that hasn’t won a game since round 2. 
 

I’d be ashamed if I even cracked a smile lol

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
