    One of the strangest elements of the weird faux culture wars driven by MAGA nuts in the states is the whole liberal tears schtick. That's to say trolling the left and reveling in their supposed outrage.

    Never got it what people get out of it. Until now. 

    I'm embracing Pies fan's tears.

    I might even create a fake account on whatever the pies equivalent to Dl is.

    I'll call myself Peter is Moore, and my first post will be:  

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Frustrating start to the season, but i cant stand all the hate coming our way. Doing my head in.

    That said, i know this sounds crazy given he won a flag last season, but i'm really starting to wonder if Mcrae is the right coach. I worry he is the classic front runner, who with all his love and cuddles can't give the players a rocket when needed.  

    And i have to say i'm worried about the list, with all our over 30s plodders. its like dad's army.

    Don't shoot the messenger, but i've heard there is bit of discontent among the younger players that 'stars' are getting games they don't deserve.

    And then there is the constant drumbeat of whispers about 'cultural' issues. And we know what that is code for (there is one ladder we are always at the top off - i'll let you connect the dots, or lines as the case may be). 

    Is it time for a mini rebuild, play the kids and focus on getting some high draft picks and setting us up for a proper tilt in 2025?

    Don't jump on me, I'm just asking questions. Good clubs are always open to difficult questions. 

    And thanks for all your insights, Pie land is the perfect antidote to all the rubbish i hear down at the yacht club and the Brighton Beach hotel about how well the dees are travelling and how much more beautiful their jumper is (which of course i push back on, but its hard given the dees jumper is by far the best color and design).

    You’re using too many big words. Pies fans are still reading at grade 1 level. This post will go straight over their head

    I got home from work to see the last 10 minutes. Reading online all the pies fans are complaining about the umpiring.

    But watching fox footy I'm seeing the lack of effort, pressure and defence that they're highlighting.  I'm also seeing the play where a pies player handballs it & it hit Moore in the head.

    Funny that...

    For years, especially during last year's finals, Collingwood have been kotd by the AFL and umpires.

    They've had their flag, time to get royally screwed like the rest of us. Welcome back to the pack, Fly!

    Response Peter is Moore:

    And don't you hate all the socio economic stereotypes you hear from other club's fans. Particularly from demon fans, who really should be renamed the boomers given the demographics of their pitifully small supporter base. 

    I mean, I've never lived in the City of Yarra, but i went hard on property in the late 80s around dights falls and made a fortune. 

    And our greatest ever Prez is my neighbor here in beach road Brighton, so hardly blue collar.

    Good old Kayo. 
    Turned on the North - Freo match.
    Must be at least 4 - 5 people watching this, including me.

    Good on them for making it 4K. 
    Took almost 5 minutes for it to lag this week.

    Now lag free for almost 10 minutes.

    Perhaps they could use that in their advertising?

    Looking at some stats.

    Hawks marks inside 50 for their only game is 19 compared to 8.5 for our two.

    We know it's been area we've struggled, but I'm confident our backline won't concede anywhere near that number as well.

    It's why Goody is  keen to get Petty up and about bout.

    Who of note is missing for Freo besides Darcy and Chapman? Currently 5 goals down to a supposed rabble in North. The 19th & 20th team can’t come soon enough, looking fwd to the end of this great game.

    To all the statisticians here, I'm just wondering if a team has comeback from zero and four to win a flag? (Hoping very much for the lions on their home turf next Thursday, to crush the filth).

    Thanks. And if they have, what is the magic number thus far, required for  exclusion from a flag?

    Let's not forget that the Pies were a good side last year but hardly a spectacular one. Good start to the season but tired significantly towards the end and then just scraped through ALL their finals.

     

    North in the 70’s lost the first 6 games and then made the GF

    ’76 i think

    North are outstanding. Best I've seen them play in years. Swarming all over the dockers.

    We'll see if they can keep this up but if i was a North fan i'd be very happy with what i'm seeing.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
