Umpiring was quite poor tonight.

Since when does the site censor the word chips.?

Collingwood do not deserve to win this game.

The squaring up begins from the umps

Not the only one.

Pies getting murdered by the umps and I love it.

This is all about being hunted. Pies got a lot of close wins last year where teams didn’t always come with their A game. the fact we went 10-0 after the flag shows you how good we were.

I am loving this!

Nothing, it is just statistically unlikely. Sure you get an outlier event from time to time (Doggies in 2016). But it’s hard to win 17/20 games. What also doesn’t stack up is the way they play and win. It is hard to back it up and sustain.

His demeanour in the Sydney presser was very eye catching. He looked panicky and desperate. If they go 0-3 then statistically they won’t win it. top 4 becomes almost out of reach and finals is even 50/50. Just look at the cats from last year. Saints match up very well and I think are in with a real shot to cause a major upset. They move the ball very well and are one of the harder sides to score against.

Yeah they got a pretty decent ruckman as well, who is probably ahead of him that he'd have to compete with. I think he has a clearer run at it with MFC - plus the opp to learn from arguably the best ruckman of all time. I know what i'd chose, but some may say I'm a little biased.

What I hear is there will be great compensation for RFA as signing bonuses will be factored into the equation. So someone like Rivers going, which might get us a round 2 pick suddenly nets a round 1 compensation pick. Kozzy might go from back end round 1 to top 5 etc or may net multiple compensation picks. The picks offered to Tassie will be similar to GWS but they can only trade them this time around.

Talent only gets you so far. The club was a joke when he first started - but that is on the players as well as the FD. When we turned the ship he wasn’t willing to do what was required to take the next step… so we let him go.

I don't ever recall him mentioning he had ambitions to coach. I know i used to see him a lot around my building working for co-tenant in the financial industry and he does have media appeal too... 'World is his oyster' is not lost on him i suppose.

Can see multiple people beat me to it. I had the 4K come up on Kayo diagnostics. Honestly couldn't tell the difference from the 4K and HD. i have a 65 inch OLED using an Apple TV 4K. I have noticed a lot of buffering issues with Kayo so far this year - never had this issue previously.

Another good news week possibility. Pies are facing the prospect of going 0-3. Saints are no walkovers and coming off a loss, will want to make up for it. Expect another solid hit-out and the real possibility of a 'premiership hangover' media narrative developing over the Pies.

So Redman gets a week for the push punch to a Hawks player and yet Zac Williams gets nothing for his push punch to Neale the week before. Carlton lawyer at it again. Now before you all remind me that Williams push punch slid up Neales shoulder to make contact to the head, one just has to look at the AFL handling of the bump: player.l beware If you elect to push punch , you take the risk that if any head contact t is made, you should be made to have a one week holiday.

Yep I noticed this as well rpfc. I think I recall hearing someone talk about clearing the initial congestion with handballs that then allows to then use the space behind the high press zone defence. We still look a little tentative with this new style, but I think a few more games playing with this date will allow us to be more potent offensively.

O Mac looks to have done a knee.

Ain’t no way he is getting off on appeal.

I think so, yes.

Got to be analytical in defeat and victory. Acknowledge what has worked and what hasn’t.

What was the whole May getting into his face? Felt more than just a bit of banter.
