Hopefully we get to see how Brisbane holds up in the last quarter with a slim lead and Collingwood coming at them like a freight train.

Very wobbly in that situation.

And lets hope that stay that way. When we won in 21 I thought of him and had a chuckle. Couldn't stand it if he, cox and ginnivan won a premiership 

I literally said the same thing to my husband about those three. I just couldn’t cope seeing Howe with a premiership medal around his neck.🤮🤮

It's Friday night and my brain is frazzled ... need wine

I'm drinking a shiraz from heirloom vineyards in the Barossa. Got it as a gift today. Very tasty

Meanwhile this is a thrashing 

and one more thing McQueen, I just think she gets a lot of vitriol on here for what? Having an annoying voice?

Maybe - but not from me. 
 

In all seriousness, she’s an absolute trailblazer in what she is doing for a career. 
Full credit to her. 
 

it’s just the voooiiiiiiiiiicccccccceee.

Brisbane to lose 10000000%

We want a home final and if Brisbane win tonight, then a very likely outcome would be for us to go up to Brisbane first final. I think us finishing 3rd is most likely.

If we have to play humid/slippery footy up there then we would be at a huge disadvantage.

Pinot for me ... NZ, Bellarine, Yarra Valley or the Peninsula.  Goes with anything

Less of a headache next day is also the goal!

Loose game and nothing like what we'll see in September

Just how these two teams like it. They’ll be found out in finals if they don’t tighten up their defensive work all over the ground.

Underwood's  voice, regardless of chromosomal makeup, is like fingernails on a blackboard and I for one just cannot listen. Also her obviously pre rehearsed attempts at humour are very "dad like".

Ok, showing all your cards with that post 


Brisbane have this I reckon

Pinot noir is my go to as well. Very easy on the palette

Reckon that was a dangerous tackle? He had his arms pinned and was dumped head first. But the Brisbane player appeared to be fine so nothing will happen

Can't believe they made Maynard captain tonight.

A hot head big mouth. They have no leadership if this is the best they can do without Moore.

1st or 2nd is the same yeah? So the Pies have very little incentive to go all out (De Goey rested etc) ... and that includes against the Don's next Friday

But we can't be sure of any result including tonight

Port will probably win their last 2 but if we knew that for sure, we could make a lot of money

We beat the Hawks and then rest our best players against Sydney (why risk injury?) ... 4th place and then launch

Umps are really trying to get the pies back in here.

Them and Carlton get gifted frees every week.

Scotchmans Hill Pinot?

Yep, I reckon I've tried them all ... Paringa is good as is Stonier

Has Maynard been appointed as a playing umpire?  Mouthing off to the one in yellow, with impunity.

And seriously these "insufficient intent" are just so annoying.  One was a side of the boot kick off the ground and another player tackled running head on the boundary.

Hate to say it, but Cox has been pretty influential at centre bounces in particular.  Very annoying.

And I wonder what Michael Christian will say about the dump tackle by McCreery?  Remind me who did Christian play for??    PS: was anything said about the one on Rivers late last week? Or was the Carlton exemption card played?

The just pay what’s there to the Pies. Difference is, they don’t pay what’s there to other sides. It’s not cheating, just selective umpiring.

By Farr, expensive but good. 

There are pros and cons with whoever wins.

If Brisbane win and Port wins too, we likely stay in 4th and play Collingwood in a Qualifying Final at home. I’d back us any day of the week to beat them, especially without Daicos and an underdone Moore.

Collingwood win tonight, and we would rely on Port dropping a game to finish 2nd (which will have to be this week because Richmond has given up), which is unlikely, and more likely to lead to a 3rd place finish.

If we finish 4th, whilst I think it’s our best chance to win the Qualifying Final, it’s also problematic if we lost that game as we’d likely play Carlton in a semi, which won’t be straightforward, and then a Preliminary Final in either Adelaide or Brisbane. The grounds don’t worry me, it’s more the umpires getting influenced by home fans (as we saw in Adelaide earlier this season).

Finishing 3rd might mean we have to travel, but even if we lost that Qualifying Final, we’d play the winner of 6 v 7 which you’d back us to win (teams outside the top 5 fall away dramatically) and then probably Collingwood in a Preliminary Final.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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?

    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?
