    Pies play Saints next week and then Brisbane at the Gabba. Will likely be 1-3 and maybe even 0-4… what’s the emoji for pure glee?

    When Collingwood lose I actually enjoy roaming Brian.  But he should have a red nose.  But I enjoy it good for a laugh

    it’s like a funeral.

    Is anyone watching the fox coverage? Did anyone else see the clip that jordan Lewis showed where Sydney were running it through the middle and Lewis was highlighting the lack of pressure then the clip showed Degoey and Maynard giving each other a high 5 in the middle. 

    Sydney kicked a goal from that

    If I saw 2 Melbourne players do that while the opposition team were running down and scoring a goal I'd be mad.

    Swans took 19 marks i50 from 51 entries, magic what happens when you move the ball quickly and create space. Impressive that they used the full ground. (Could just be the pies are cooked too..?)

    Was recently telling another DL-er that your profile pic is hands down my favourite on this site. It’s simply never not funny 😁

    Sydney not interested in taking clean possessions all the time. Very good at: hand passing out to space, tapping, jumping, punching the ball forward, gut running both ways until they get that clean possession that sets them up. They look super fast and fit. Did not expect them to do that at The G. We need to take the game on rather than play safe footy. Hoping to see some drive and flair against the Dogs.

    What game did you watch?

    Tonight's game with Sydney playing it, and was like every other Sydney game played for the last twenty years.

    Congest the game, form and scrum(or whatever they call it in rugby when they stop/start), then congest again, frustrate, and break if you can.

    Horrible to watch.

    Looks like the elastic band has finally snapped with the Magpies. 2 full seasons of playing the way they did was always going to be unsustainable, unfortunately they managed to get a flag during that period.

    Hunger and momentum are hard things to hold on to, we’ve seen us have it and then lose it. We need to get it again quick, or our window will indeed close.

    The handball, tap on  get it forward at cost method was really noticeable wasn't it. 

    It's actually what we are trying to do, so I'd disagree we're playing safe, at least in the three games we've played thus far.

    The tigers have played a similar model too in their four games ie lots of  chaotic handballing and knock on with a focus on forward movement and swarming.

    Perhaps it's this years version of the Pies 2022 and 2023 fast translation from half back method with the same wave running and handballs, but with less kicking (ie Pies used aggressive, quality kicking to cut through zones - whilst still using hand to link up).

    What was impressive about the Swans tonight was they also kicked super well.

    That said, they had a lot of kicks under no pressure. Pies were gassed.

    Maynard told DeGoey the Pies have two byes this season, DeGoey was just happy he gets an extra trip to Bali.

    We will have a better clue tomorrow as to if our efforts against the swans, on their ground, in tough conditions, with a makeshift forward line was actually pretty admirable. 

    Seeing what they did to the pies last night, on a full size ground, does give the impression they are contenders. 

    Exciting times for bloods fans

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
