Crows were already my favourites for the flag past few weeks. The way their defence stood up tonight and given that they can now let Burgess select which players to rest for the next 2 weeks before a home final makes me even more confident.

After watching the girls game I flicked it over to the cricket then flicked it back to watch the last 2 minutes. I was convinced the pies were going to get a goal at the end.

I dislike Collingwood as much as anyone nut that should had been a free against thilthorpe when he kicked the ball away.

Anyway Collingwood lost so that's ok

I hear ya but i didn’t get the commentators going on about it

how is it time wasting when the ball is out of bounds?

Pies with double the inside 50’s

hilarious

Reminds me of a certain final 😭

Still confounds me we can have a non-MFC thread on this board but we can’t have one on the Melbourne Demons team that is once again consistently showing up for the club and the fans.

English football on channel 9?

Yes please!

It's a rule if you kick or punch the ball while it's over the line it's a free kick

Maybe we shouldn't have scored those last few goals. Then hawthorn will be 4th & the pies drop.

A few teams stuffed up there top 4 chances this weekend.

If our team has any pride, they will give it a red hot next week to try and take Collingwood out of the finals.

Poor Flea,gee I feel sorry for him.... NOT

Another week of Garry Lyon heading up the Collingwood cheer squad.

He knows where his bread is buttered.

It's so obvious isn't it? Just cannot talk them up enough. (Insert spew emoji here.)

They'll probably drop one of their home finals, and we'll end up with the usual suspects in the GF. Not getting any hopes up!

We just have to beat them by 300 points or something for that to happen.

Fremantle losing to Brisbane pretty much locked Collingwood (and Hawthorn now) into finals, given Fremantle's much lower percentage.

We can hold them out of top 4, though. And for a side which was 10 points clear on top of the ladder after 16 games, that'll be some achievement.
