NON-MFC: Round 02



Recommended Posts

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.

And doing it in a way that makes it a football act.

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
