How good was the way they used Wanganeen-Milera as much as possible.  Watching him kick is like watching a Federer backhand or a Warnie leggie.  Skill and execution just sublime.    Not to the same extent, but I'd be keen to see McVee freed up a little bit to be getting that kick from the back half into the forward half.  But we seem to be trending in that direction anyhow.

    Pity it has to be Brisbane.

    Both 0-4 would be good to see...

    ...but I guess you can't have everything.

    But taunting Brisbane fans that they've only beaten the bottom team would be a perfect two-flavoured ice cream.

    Look at our 21 finals campaign. That's how it's done.

     

    Not every club can hope to emulate the most potent 50 minutes of football in the history of the game.

    I love that it isn't even hyperbole to say that.

    Hah, I now genuinely have the Doom music in my head.

    Sure the Pies had a bumper start to the season last year but they fell away at the end.

    In reality they just snuck home with three iffy finals including the gf.

    They beat us in a final by 7 points when we had an absolutely depleted fwd line and were a man down.

    Just beat Gws by a point.

    And we're lucky in the Gf with the soft advantage call and just snuck home again by a kick.

    They were not a glorious flag team by any standard.

    Look at our 21 finals campaign. That's how it's done.

    Pies won't make top four and rightly so.

    They're the second weakest premier of this century, only the Bulldogs of 2016 were weaker. Fact.

    The pies won their 3 finals by a cumulative total of 12 points. That was with some extremely lucky umpiring decisions going their way. They started the season well but by the end they were a middle of the road team and were possibly the luckiest premiers in my lifetime. Zero chance of a "dynasty". Hopefully they crash and burn for the sake of all Australian society and the sport. Pathetic wretched scum.

    disagree.

    pies flag - 56.32 attacking, 63.86 defending.

    bulldogs 2016 - 59.83 attacking, 71.64 defending.

    pies were officially kissed on the richard cranium last year. the dogs of 2016 would beat them 8/10 times.

    Further, last year teams statistically had their worst scoring accuracy against the Pies. It was an uncanny stat that almost all teams worst goalkicking performance came against Collingwood.

     

    We had the opposite problem as Freo, GWS, Carlton x2 and Collingwood beat us with superb accuracy last year despite the fact we had more scoring shots in all those games.

    In the finals alone, the opposition kicked 20.13 to our 16.28

    The umpiring standard was horrendous and it's the first time I enjoyed it.

    And if any Pies fan should stumble upon this post.....

    That goal from the boundary line ....the ball was definitely out of bounds.

    That goal, was it from the Wayne Harmes flank ? Not Collingwood's lucky part of the ground

    A lot of potentially one sided games this weekend.

    Crows v Cats probably the hardest on paper but of course upsets happen

    I think Dogs Suns is an interesting game. Reckon Suns make the 8 this year…this game will be a good indicator.

    Suns should have that easily. Dogs backline is woeful

    Best I can come up with is a rainbow kick from May on the dog's head, setting him up for a kozzie knee. I say May as he never kicks Rainbows, we want Maynard to know.

    David Kind now jumping on the saints as how ‘amazing were they last night’

     

    Were the saints amazing??? I thought Collingwood were awful more than Saints were good. Lots of saints goals came from Collingwood players making BAD errors that other top teams aren’t going to make.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
