That was a impressive win by the blues.

Collingwood were full strength.

Carlton were missing, McKay, Walsh, Cerra (2nd half), Kennedy.

But they had a 6 day break. A six day break! The nerve of the AFL😂

    Nice win... i told me lil storm cloud and son the Blues were a good chance all week with the Pies coming back from a rare away game (and a biggen at that)  plus a filthy lurgy floating about at their dirty lair.

    They just laughed and thought i was crazy.  Usually they're right of course!

    And on cue Brayshaw starts the interstate, 6 days break, wet night last week narrative 

    Personally, I'd like to hear more of it. The pies def looked gassed - understandable given the intensity od last week, travel and six day break.

    I reckon port will struggle to come up to, though luckily for them the crows are coming of a tough game and a six day break.

    I see the flu excuse is being trotted out by Pies fans already...

    You know what this means don't you, for the media... Carlton will join Collingwood, Port and maybe Brisbane as the only real premiership contenders. Geelong might sneak into some people's calculations.

    Meanwhile…the Jaws theme begins as another contender lurks beneath the waves.

    Because Kosi and Melksham won us the game last year that basically killed the Blues finals chances

    Didn't they have allegedly have some flu ahead of their loss against us?

    They seem to have a bad habit of getting crook in the lead up to games where the oppo go super hard at them and apply huge pressure.

    Unlucky for them that's what finals footy is.

    Must have also struck them down in the lead up to their two high pressure finals they lost last year.

    Watching the Pies players continue with manic football in the last minute only confirms for me that they risk burning out before the end of September. I don’t care how fit they are, how they play and the number of games they’ve needed to play to the death, means they’ve spent a lot of energy to this point in the season.

    Pies have not a single injury. They have options to manage and rest. They didn’t.
    Cox a total liability and he can’t play with Cameron and McStay IMO. 

    As we know tho, wasting all your energy trying to claw wins from the jaws of defeat every week is physically and mentally taxing.

    Totally agree.

    And they are the hunted every single week.

    Like it or not the Blues were impressive.

    Howe up forward?

    They pushed him up forward in the 3rd Q 'bin'...it took Hodgey until nearly half way into the last Q to notice it.

    About the time he kicked his first goal.

    I've always said our expert comments people are the best in the business and really keep us informed.

    Collingwood's disposal was generally atrocious. A good sign of fatigue.

    But I know what shampoo Nick Daicos uses, so if that’s not information for you, I dunno what is.

    So I saw it from halfway through the final quarter. Moore got torn apart from Curnow, port supporters would be wondering how Elliott kicked that goal but misses directly in front tonight.

    A shame port couldn't knock them off last week & bring them right back.

    Anyway it's good they lost. Lets hope Sydney can do the same tomorrow to the bummers

    JB said they're coming off a 6 day break, they are coming back from Adelaide, not Perth or Darwin. it's a 30 minute flight.

    They were just outplayed tonight

    Lots of panic when their backs were one or two out with Curnow. He gets lots of free kicks.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
