The deliberate out of bounds paid late in the 2nd qtr against Freo just highlights how much trouble our game is in. The umpiring across all games that I’ve watched this season is by far the worst I’ve seen. I honestly ask myself is there an agenda.

Then the love for a nineteenth and possible twentieth team just blows me away. Some will argue last weeks result of the Eagles beating us shows how even the competition is. 
 

Just then a soft free against Moore. 
 

But in reality we know that’s not the case. After last weeks loss many on here bemoaning our lack of depth are all for two more teams, go figure….

Finally the tribunal, enough said.

The game is fast losing its way, we don’t want to believe it because of our love for it, but sadly the powers that be can’t be told and we will cop what ever is served up.

Freo are very slick by hand and foot but over use the handball which sees them get caught in their back half a little too often.

They also make a fair few rookie & basic mistakes both with choices and clangers.

The Pies use their feet to kick / toe poke the loose ground ball away from oppo alot, attempting to move it forward or towards safety of boundary.

Deny and disrupt.

They also move it quickly and get it inside 50 quickly to fwds that aren’t falling over each other whilst having smaller players running in to the drop of the ball.

This is really annoying me. Collingwood have the grit to fight out these wins. Not sure we have the same

Horrible game of footy, but game going to script. Freo keeping pressure on, lots of tackling and stoppages, keeping Pies at bay. Pies slowly pulling away due to Freo over using/abusing handball. 

Papley's over celebrating, Draper's ridiculous hair cut, commentators drooling over all things Daicos: all these things are annoying, frustrating and rage-inducing. But Maynard . . . this pretend tough guy is in a class of his own. Surely footy gods/karma/reap what you sow has to see him cop his right whack some time soon. 

Looks like a Pies template game. Close score, they will kick 2-3 goals in red time to win. Again.

Darcy's competitive in the ruck but that's about where it ends.  Super slow to react & dispose and his HBs are generally pretty shizen

You know what Collingwood do well. Sticking their tackles. They rarely miss.

The scary thing is they have so many good players out but are still winning.  It makes you sick.

I have an uneasy feeling.

Backed the pies to win by more than 25. Looking good on that front.

But I still want them to lose.

Good to see Corey Wagner getting a run.

Good luck to him.

They are woeful by hand, and decision making is as bad as us.

Young's been pretty ordinary tonight.  

Is it just me or has Walters had a mare so far?

My hatred of the filth is off the charts.

Their Guernsey looks like an extention of their tatts.

Their pressure is quite incredible

Yep.  The whole team has white line fever.  It's 100% pressure / urgency then go go go on the turnover.

Cameron's also a decent ruck and VG overhead mark.  I think i heard somewhere he's one of the best intercept marks behind play also?

The game appears to have gone past Fyfe now 😬

How was that kick to the wing by Daicos not deliberate oob?

Hodge was 100% correct. Only bloke to question the umpiring ever !! BT is a pies lover all night.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
