Nothing worse than a Pies comeback

At least it is isn't the last quarter

Back to last night's replay... we weren't that bad in the first quarter on re watch

 

Game over.
 

Bombers will lose by 45+

Duursma, Gresham, mackay, Goldy

terrific recruiting by the bombers

😂😂

 

"Certainly a half of two quarters" Did I just hear that?

What is Alwyn Davey Jnr doing out there?

There is only one Davey out there. Why do the commentators insist on naming him 'Alwyn Davey Jnr' every time? There's only one player with the surname Davey out there. Thankfully he didn't feature much in the play.

And don't get me started on 'Bobby Hill' !!! 

Had a good laugh at Stringer's/De Goey's expense. Two top class gents. Stringer caught De Goey HTB. De Goey then gave away a 50 metre penalty. Stringer then coolly slotted a point.

McKay has generally been excellent this season, Gresham useful  and Goldy decent. 


MOTY

But why did Mackay run under the ball to provide the lift??

Mackay has been average/decent and certainly worth the big money

Goldy has probably been the best of them imo

Or if you want to take the commentary team seriously, “the greatest moment in the MCG’s history”.

No HTB against Daicos despite incorrect disposal 

Of course not. Despite being the most obvious free kick.

A close tussle between two mid-table sides. Loathe the Bombers but if the Pies were to lose today, the wailing and gnashing of teeth from their supporters would be quite enjoyable ... hang on ... gnashing of teeth ... scratch that ... just wailing 😁

Been a good game but I expect Collingwood to pull away. 

The Bombers still look lacklustre at the in close inside stuff.


Why do teams forget that Collingwood always look to break toward the corridor on the turnover? Defend the corridor, push them wide, slow their run? And don’t allow them to out-number at the breakdown and muscle the outlet possession. Essendon are willing, but basically as dumb as a bag of bricks - Merrett and a few others notwithstanding. 

Whatever happened with Essendon having the wrong players on the bench to prevent play from getting underway should be a free kick against to start the quarter. You can't be delaying the game by over a minute with no penalty.

Those last two frees for the filth 🤮

  • 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?

    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?
