The footy gods nearly did it. What a shame. But gee if you're an Essendon fan you wouldn't be happy. 

Gee 22 frees to 12 don't like blaming Umps but they missed a few in the last.

Hope Eagles can take it up to freo next week.

Come on Suns.

Can we dream of hawks today and Cats next week. Bring top spot into play.

Have the pies fallen in a hole after such an continuous high intensity year

One can only hope. Their ball use so far screams fatigue.

Go Hawks!

Misread this as "Have the Weagles..." and thought it great satire 😅😂

Have been saying for a while that these teams outside the eight are so so dangerous. A few teams are finding that out now. Hopefully we have been taking note.

I have been doing some light gardening, listening to the Crows v Suns game via the AFL app, choosing the ABC stream hoping it wouldn't the biased carp we get from 5AA. BIG mistake! You would have thought they were getting paid by each compliment they could give Crows players, with passing mention of anything the Suns did. 

Could this be The Pies first goalless first quarter this year.

Hawks always have a dip. Their problem has been running out of gas late in games. Hopefully they can see this through today.

Pies playing bruise free footy. 

Gary Lyon - let's see how this GREAT side responds.

For the love of God, they are not a great side.

But they've won.....oh yeah nothing

Hawks aren't even playing that well and Collingwood are being exposed out the back and can't score. Howe is just about the Pies best player so far.

So Essendon have nth next week but then have gws then Collingwood. You'd think there lousy percentage would keep them out of finals and they'd lose the last 2

Hawks are actually a well drilled team, they just can't sustain it. They often start really well only to get overtaken half way through the 3rd quarter. Watching them now, their midfield play is really strong, and those young guys are sprinting to the next pace over and over again. High quality. 

The Pies are playing loose (again), and the Hawks are pressuring the kicker rather than the ball carrier. Let's see if the Pies can reverse this earlier than the last quarter.
