    But if you win you don't learn it just reinforces bad habits. 

    Here’s hoping….

    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

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
