pies composure in these situations is outstanding as much as it pains me to say it.

crows had the ball in there 50 and were not smart. thats the difference

Nah the other teams are [censored] honestly, every time they have the chance to score again and waste every I50. Nothing to praise here, just lucky the opposition is [censored] in execution.

    What the hell was that last free kick for? Rankine didn't run to far. My god what a stupid call.

    Crows cannot beat Collingwood in the close ones

    I seriously can’t understand how a side like the Crows just dominating that last quarter but still found a way to lose or Collingwood found a way to win.

    You don’t take a [censored] bow when you’re the reigning premiers and have just narrowly beaten a team who’s 12th on the [censored] ladder.

    Why do the umpires call such line ball calls in such crucial moments. Really feels like they are trying the manipulate results in key moments. 
     

    One positive is the blue floppers are out of the 8. Sucked in

    they've won 10 of the last 11 games decided by a goal or less. thats more than luck.

    Full of shiit this team. All the bounces land in their arms at crucial times. Adelaide blew that 

    Exactly, the rub of the bounce they get. They also kick and hand ball in panic, but the opposition just wanted their opportunities. There was one kick smothered inside their 50, if the crows player was smart you fake the kick to make the defender miss and give yourself time and space.

    I sat watching the last 2 minutes with my hatred of the filth reaching sky like proportions. They are the luckiest bastards on th face of the earth. Crows did blow it though.

    I am surprised at this point they don't have a special post game show with Daicos dad Jumpin like a lunatic in their corporate box 🤢

    Or the other kick that was smothered, no composure whatsoever just kick without thinking.

    So many clubs I just wish would let go of the raft and sink into oblivion.

    Did I use up all my credits cursing West Coast and Hawthorn?

    Divine favour well spent to be sure, but still, what animal do I need to sacrifice to make Collingwood falter and finish outside the 8 on percentage?

    Realistically they could lose their last 4 games (Blues, Swans, Lions and finally to us) and in the process give up their spot to a late-surging Lions who also have a draw.

    he also took a mark on the wing about a minute before that and gave the quick handball rather than using up time to take his kick. no smarts at all.

    Yep Keays is a reasonably good player on his day but diabolical around the sticks

    Looking more and more like a Swans / Filth GF at this rate

    That was the game, he just had to fake the kick and would have had time and space to kick to a teammate or even a better kick at goal.

    You just know that the desperation of the Filth defender would play against him if you fake the kick.

    At the end of the day Collingwood banked enough score earlier in the game to be in a position to win a close one.

    The complete opposite to us last week and for most of the season so far.

    Pies have a green light from the umps late in games. No HTB even when they tackle their own team mates to keep the ball in. Fraudulent officiating.

    That Keayes kick which led to the smother was crazy bad. No composure

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
