    An enjoyable half. Games so far have been entertaining, nice lead up to Cats smashing Port hopefully.

    Memo to the fox peanuts -

    29 points at half time in perfect conditions IS an example of a team with connection and efficiency issues.

    Also memo to every AFL commentator: the Pies have deficiencies like everyone else. They are not, as we’ve been led to believe, holding the cup with one hand.

    Dear Garry Lyon. As a Dees man, I love what you have done for our club, and you were a gun when you played for us. Just a note though - there are 2 teams playing in the Hawks v Pies game and THE PIES ARE ACTUALLY BEHIND. The Hawks are playing better, and thwarting the "rampaging" Collingwood. Any chance you could mention some of the tactical nouse that the Hawks are using to thwart the Pies? Or even their great in-close pressure? Or their team defence. As much as I hate the Hawks, their play deserves respect.

    Garry Lyon is smart. Continue talking them up. Get them to listen to the noise and get complacent. All part of the plan I reckon 😂

    It's been nearly 2 seasons of playing at a high intensity it's  hard to keep up . I wont write them off but their game style must take a toll

    The other thing is because they are the benchmark, even teams out of finsls contention wantto use them to do an audit of where their game is at.

    And of course want to beat them. 

    So they get no easy games.

    It was def a factor for us last year.

    The other  issue they face is a team like the hawks who ate not playing finals dont have dont have to worry about keeping their tactical cards to their chest. Dacois 3 kicks (including a free and a kick out) is evidence of what I mean.

    The contenders get the benefit of seeing what works against them without having to show their hand.

    I'm advised one of the three was a kick-in following a Hawthorn behind.  So really 2 in a half ...

    Coz according to the pie fan boys, you only need to play a season and a half of elite home and away games to be considered a great team or the best player.

    By the by, on bont, he must be a shot at winning the Brownlow.

    Daicos has had a brilliant year, but others will take votes off him.

    And the bont has been the best player by a mile in at least 6-7 games I've seen - and he kicks goals.

    He is also impossible to miss when he gets it - and can't be confused for his brother!

    Yes, let’s encourage the over-rating media Collingwood “noise” to continue & keep our Dee’s quietly under the radar … we don’t want pre October adulation as it just creates a source of bath water 💧 … leave that for the pies [censored] to drink 👍

    Why are free kicks given after a goal happens taken from the goal square? It feels like they should be from the centre square, as that's where the ball would be at the start of the play.

    Lyons 'what we all love about the way the pies play' (ie fast transition linking by hands) is one of their vulnerabilities. It looks great. But creates too many turnover opportunities in tbe heat of super high pressure games.

    And when tbey do turn it over they get exposed on the counter too often because their defence pushes up so high and with no sweeper.

    That's a really good point. Maybe it's because it's where the apparent infraction took place.

    the Bont is clearly the best most complete player in the league. 

    Apologies to Clarry and Trac. Diacos is a gun but not top 3 yet

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
