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

    "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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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 🤮

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
