Such a similar vibe isn't it. Easier to see when it's not your team.

 

And enjoyable.

Our backline can and has defended under pressure much much better than the Pies ever have. 

Not when the pill is played at one end of the ground and it does not matter what sides playing.

Wonder what the media will use for an excuse for the pies loss this week???

Another dose of the flu?

They need to look at their control systems for infectious diseases.

I've heard colliwobbles can be really debilitating.

I’ve got that warm fuzzy feeling. Pies looking very venerable at the wrong time of year. I really hope this is their style of play and long season catching up with them and not due to a loading block. 


The Pies midfield was annihilated, I thought that it looked like the 3 main areas: clearances, contested possession, and in transition. But the team stats indicate that it was workrate. More possession, more marks inside 50 etc... Interesting.

True dat.

The wheels seem to be falling off both Collingwood and Port in recent weeks. Injuries and form are starting to take their toll as they did for us last season.

This is why I wasn’t worried about our loss to the Giants up in Alice 5 weeks ago.

All I was worried about was staying around top 4 & what our form was going to look like the last 6/7 weeks leading into the finals.

 

We play Hawthorn - they were impressive.

Occupational hazard - too much contact with a rabid and very large fanbase.

I know what you meant but we can never respect the Pies😀

They were and we won’t take them lightly like the Pies obviously did 

after the 1st qtr, i bet my son 50 euro to 5 that Pies would win, feeling stupid now… But we enjoyed the win, pressure is everything, and we all know Melbourne can bring that.

Commentators reckon every contender has serious queries on them. 
We could win every game now by 900 points and they still won’t rate us. 

Good

some more good news for us...

PORT Adelaide has taken another hit to its playing stocks as it looks to stem the bleeding from three consecutive losses, with Jeremy Finlayson and Miles Bergman late outs for the Power's clash with Geelong.

They went straight into 5th gear as soon as the season started & you can tell it’s taking its toll. I wouldn’t be shocked if their pressure rating has dropped dramatically from the start of the season.

As annoying as it is that the Grundy experiment doesn’t look like it’s going to work out, it has actually turned out to work wonders for Max. Got to ease himself back in from the MCL injury & now he’s playing his best footy at the right time of the season.

It’s a great day for football, surely there must be the flu running though the Pies camp, that’s what the media comes up with after they lose.

l think we’re now favourites 😉

It also means that you can't discount some of the lower finalists having a genuine chance.

We also won't get demolished in contested possession and contested marking like Collingwood did.

Where are all the nuffies who say you shouldn't tag anymore?

Nick Daicos has been totally ineffectual.

As much as I wanted Essendon to lose today, West Coast losing keeps us with a chance of trading for Harley Reid.

Who even has the time anymore to think about such an irrelevant club, let alone want them to lose, draw or win? They're just a speck of dust on our shoes nowadays. A team whose weekly fixture and glanced at result at the end of the round gets the mildest 'who cares' non-reaction if there ever was one. A club that deserves only 2-4 hours of my viewing time per year, depending on how the afl fixtures us. :laugh:🍷

  • 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.

  • 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.
