Yep, it’s official. Garry Lyon is a HORRIBLE commentator. FMD! 

i think the problem is that a lot of the commentators simply don't watch much football

they watch the games they commentate, sure, but otherwise they get the highlights and the clips that daniel hoyne and the champion data guys present to them

it means that the narratives that they want to tell based upon what they have seen are reinforced

There is absolutely no way Marshall doesn’t have a concussion test after last week.

And the same doctors care of Jay Schulz suddenly getting the scrutiny it needs. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/south-australia/port-adelaide-former-player-jay-schulz-had-20-concussions-but-didnt-miss-a-game/news-story/44a9770a66a3db6e8ca360b109323c45?amp

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.

Love the kid, not the odds

Tagging Daicos today was a bad move by Sam Mitchell?

Yes, Goodwin should look at tagging more to stop players like Noah Anderson and Zak Butters having their way with us like they did this year.

Did I say that?

We dominated the pies.

We put time into daicos and limited his impact - without having to sacrifice the output of one of our players or allow daicos to drag that player away from the contest.

Goody doesn't tag.

Take it up with the manager, Karen.

Of course i want Geelong to win so second spot is available but, honestly, i absolutely hate them. Has any Geelong player, EVER, accepted that the free paid against him was deserved.

I would love to see the dissent rule enforced against them.

So this is what it's like being a Geelong supporter. Nice. Knowing your team should lose but comforted by bizarre free kicks keeping you in it.

It’s funny you bring up Daniel hoyne as he is the only 1 not rating the pies right now but thinks our game is in great shape, pure stats man and called Geelong as premiers a fair way out last year

Vossy has figured out the pies, bring the physicality and they turn their toes up. Imagine Viney, Trac, Oliver, Sparrow watching that….

Didn't we figure out the pies... 🤨

We won by four points and kicked less goals than them!

Daicos had 27 disposals and kicked a goal which got them within four points right at the end of the game.

Sam Mitchell just took his 16th placed team and destroyed Collingwood by 32 points and large part of that was keeping Daicos to just 5 disposals, even before going off injured he was totally ineffective in the game.

I know Goodwin doesn't tag, but he should.

Goodwin has a slightly better midfield than Mitchell tho….

You have to have someone with pace and discipline and endurance so who goes on him?

That's what jobbers like Jordon and Harmes are for.

I rather not carry them in the side and just back our midfield to beat anyone we play one on one. 

That doesn’t mean I don’t think we should try to limit the opposition’s best player. But I wouldn’t play a player in a purely negative role in a final. We don’t need to do that.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
