    Great result with Port (& Collingwood) going down. We just need Fremantle to win tomorrow. Could we finish top? We need percentage tomorrow and then the gap to Collingwood will be purely 2 games.

    Sorry, I got a bit ahead of myself. We'd need to win by more than 10 goals tomorrow to top Collingwood's current percentage.

    The Pies can have top spot if it means barracking for Geelong again. That was awful.

    I'd rather they finish top. They would need to lose at least 2 out of their 3 remaining games and they play both Brisbane and Geelong.

    Top 2 guarantees home finals throughout the whole series and is not different to pole position apart from bragging rights.

    Edit: as you pointed out on another thread, travel is still possible if the interstate teams win both qualifying finals.

    If that was the happen it would be two weeks in a row that 1 2 and 3 were beaten.

    Carlton and Dawks with their tails up and then Swans.
    The run in doesn't look so cruisy now.
    We'll be battle hardened.

    Don't sleep on Sydney for finals. They are under the radar getting closer and closer as each week goes by to their 2022 form. They'll beat GC next week and I wouldn't write them off beating Adelaide in Adelaide the week after. If they win both they'll be 12.5 and that should do it for finals. If they lose to Adelaide, they'll then need to beat us in the final round to make it - huge game.

    There is no doubt that Daicos playing poorly severely reduces the overall quality of the Pies midfield. But Daicos is not an inside mid nor a contested winning bull.
     

    This is the main weakness of Collingwood. It’s why they went and got Mitchell. But he’s bog ordinary at using the footy and he’s slow as a wet rag. They keep subbing him off to try and get some more run in last quarters. 


    De Goey is the only inside mid they have who can really hurt you on the outside. But he’s inconsistent and mentally soft. 
    Their midfield is one dimensional. If you stop them winning the footy then by extension you limit Daicos as he needs the ball fed out to him. 
    Butters on the other hand can win his own ball and destroy you with it. He is far more damaging and hard to stop than Daicos IMO. 
    The key to beating Pies is to shut down De Goey and Adams. De Goey only had 17 today and Adams 13. Combined they had 7 clearances. Nash had 6 by himself. 

    Agree on shutdowns

    You also have to have someone halve contests with Sidebottom

    Better that way, we wouldn't want easy kills before the pointy end of the season.

    Should make up the 1% on Lions today if Freo's defence performs reasonably well and prevents a lions blow away score.

    Kicking 18 behinds we didn’t, it will be an absolute fairytale if they drop into a hole and lose games and go out in straight sets

    So had we kicked straight then it would have been and easy 30 plus point win?

    We smashed them around the contest and stopped their corridor run. We were able to put enormous amount of defensive pressure which saw them crumble under heat.

    So what you want, but the credit should be going to Melbourne for showing the rest of the competition in how to stop the pies, not the blues.

    The commentary on the AFL website has the reason for Collingwood's demise yesterday being they didn't treat Hawthorn with respect. Nothing of sides being able to implement the same blueprint to beat them.

    No wonder McRae was twitchy in his post presser. 😉

    Missed all games yesterday might as well have been on Mars. Catching up on minis now, what a performance by the Hawks! Showed composure where other teams have melted like butter this year. 

    Got laughed at for tipping West Coast understandably and got pretty close. Underestimate my tipping ability at your peril! 🤣

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
