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

    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 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
