I suppose Maynard knocking Cox out in friendly fire and the Pies losing by a point next week would be karma 

If the Lions have any brains - Any - they will come out and look to take pies’ heads off at the first bounce. Seriously, make them fearful of their own lives. Zorko should remove from the torsos the heads of Maynard Cox and then move to favourite sons Daicii, Pendlebury , Elliot , moore

 

absolutely murder them

    Did the AFL change the rules during the week???

    High tackles, Throws, Trips all OK

    Nah, if you've got a Collingwood or Carlton jumper those things and more are all endorsed.  You know knock a bloke out why don't ya - it's all good.

    De Goey and umpiring the difference. Great effort GWS, we should take a page or two out of their textbook for next year, GWS deserved to win.

    Yeah, it sucks, but don’t give me umpiring. There were a handful of blatant Collingwood frees that weren’t paid late (the Moore high and the HTB on Idun were horrendous misses).

    If GWS got shafted it was by having to have a 6 day break into this game. There’s no need to ensure the top side gets 8 days into the GF. 7 is enough. But the drop from 7 to 6 is more severe and GWS shouldn’t have had to deal with that.

    But in the end, Collingwood have been the best side for the majority of the year, so it’s no real surprise or shame that they’re in the GF.

    I don’t understand why the club president can’t say “Nup, we’re not having that, we’ll sue you”

     

    it’s like us having to to go kardinia year after year after year

    That should hurt our players.   We should be totally hurting now

    When the game was on the line, the umps put the whistle away. Could I possibly hate Collingwood more than I do right now? Karma bus, where are you

    This would have been the Memo from (Gill) AFL to the umpires, "If Collingwood are losing pay everything, if Collingwood are in the lead pay nothing"

    Played out perfectly didn't it?

    Yes, but imagine the conundrum the umps will have!

    Did that with our games too, switch it off with 2 seconds to go. 

    Yep walked out of the lounge with 5 seconds to go so I didn't have to see or hear the reaction. 

    Ok over to you Brisbane.

    I just feel sorry for all the Demonlanders tonight the last few weeks have been hard and last week was devastating. We needed a lift and a Giants win would have been it. Instead we've been handed more crud sandwiches to chow down.

    Think again.... they may make it IF the umps don't kill them in the process but they have a woeful record at the G

    Yeah, but they hardly play at the G.  Should have really beat us here home and away and beat us convincingly in a final last year.

    I think that poor record counts for diddly squat.  They are playing so much better footy than Collingwood.

    Bloke!

    I remember the 2021 lead in, seeing all the amazing artwork for the Dees and feeling left out and a bit sad , living as I do up in the northern rivers. But this week, thank Christ I am not in Collingbourne. Intolerable.

    I would kill to be there right now. Or anywhere else.

    The dog sat down on the bed and accidentally pressed the remote with his hefty bottom with 5 seconds left in the game. He is a therapy dog I tell you.

    At least we got to see Jesse Hogan kick a massive goal under pressure and play a great game on the big stage. Like a proud ex-step father

    The disappointing 2023 season just got that little bit more disappointing.

    I can think of another word than disappointing, especially if Carlton wins tomorrow.

    Do the right thing Brisbane.

    Smash the brown paper baggers followed by the filth on the G.

    It’s a little tenuous but I guess there’s an MFC connection through Fagan.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
