Great game.

Swinging momentum, feel Pies just on top with ball use, but Lions keeping in it.

Lets hope Lions finish strong 💪 

Let's hope so Roy Boy 🤞

Very enjoyable game. momentum swings and plenty of quality. 

just hope the Lions can get it done in the second half.

As much as I dislike Collingwood they have played in some pretty entertaining grand finals over the past 15 years.

Their losing ones have been entertaining 😀.

Fagan would be frustrated with those 2 goals on the siren after each quarter. Can't let it happen again.

With Murphy off surely that hurts there backline & the Brisbane forwards should dominate 


I think it’s time for the AFL to ditch all pregame and halftime entertainment.

King Stingray would have been awesome.

Or Amyl and the Sniffers

Richo agrees with you. He was wearing an AatS T-shirt while interviewing KISS. 


Mark Seymour and the Holy Grail AGAIN.. I love Hunter and Collectors, but the AFL need to learn from the NRL. 

Brisbane’s defensive system (or lack of it), just can’t get their head around Collingwood’s corridor game run from transition. It’s like they’ve paid zero attention to the way Collingwood play. Then again, apart from Quaynor, Maynard and Moore, Collingwood’s defensive 6 are bog ordinary, and Bris get to score frequently from inside 50 entries. So what we have is a high-scoring GF. Anyone’s game from here I guess, but if the umps keep paying high tackle frees for Nick Daicos, that’ll get them there.

Surprised we haven’t seen Eddie’s fat head so far 🤔

Oh, we will, we will, especially if they are up with 10 mins to go

All about him and timing

Don’t mind the Hunters & Collectors Guy!

Hate to say it but the ducking player is bloody good.

Will this be the Hill or Cameron show?

Hill by a fair way so far.

Have to stop young Daicos or else.

I don’t mind them either but that performance and Kiss pre game did nothing to enhance the match day experience in my opinion.

Kozzi had an average year but has still kicked 10 more goals than hill

Yep, Hill turns it on beautifully on his day but the thing about Pickett is even on his poorer days he still matters.

Goalless games: Pickett 3, Hill 5

Multiple goal games: Pickett 12,  Hill 7

Pickett brings double the tackles inside 50 and goal assists, too.

By recognising Hill as an excellent small forward, we can remind ourselves that Pickett continues to be an absolute top shelf small forward even in a season he was a bit off his best and our forward structure resembled a live pig through a bacon shaver.

Hodge: “that’s a poor decision”

umpires are having a mare

Hodge seems to be the only one who’ll comment like this. The others go silent even though you know they agree with him.

Jesus they have done it again. Maybe an after the siren goal by Brisbane to win it.

Time to step up, Bailey.

Re Daicos, we had to listen to all the experts explaining why Toby Green didn’t get that head high free all week, you know he bent at the knees etc.  Then in the first half we have watched Daicos picking up head high frees at will as he drops the knees and leans in to the tackle! 

Will yhe heat and a player down catch up with the pies. 

I imagine big Joe will take a few marks inside 50 from here on. 

Can't see a blow out though.

But pies haven't been the strongest of finishers.

Good point. Umps keep rewarding him though.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
