So retaliation works, does it? Like JVR giving away a goal. I'd much rather retaliate on the scoreboard.

The sky is a little bit cloudier, but it's not falling in.

They were unlucky that the infringement was given when the ball was in Sydney's forward line. In Sydney's back line it might have been a different result.

The Pies are playing Carlton, North Melbourne and WCE in their next three games. That'll be three wins.

Port knew to put two or three players directly behind the pack May was kicking to, to either receive the ball knocked outover the top or the contested ball they won when it was fed out to them.

We kicked 7 goals in the wettest quarter of the match.

I'd be more worried about playing on Viney. ☺️

‘Yarta’ means place or land and ‘Puulti’ means sleep or death. Let's hope its PA doing the sleeping or dying.

Brown's not selected, even as an emergency.

Anticipated #1 draft pick Harley Reid looks suspiciously like someone's little brother.

He gets a few by kicking out after a behind and getting a handball receive when he runs past a player who's taken a mark.

No, but I think some supporters should see the long game. We are banking 50-point wins @ 200% against poorer opposition to provide our best players with lower TOG to preserve them for the long season. The season is a marathon, not a sprint, and a premiership is the objective rather than a 100+ point win along the way. Remember 2022? It wasn't that long ago.

As a contrast, the Age report had him in the best with the description "Ed Langdon was everywhere on the wing and applied relentless defensive pressure".

It's 24 stories down in the latest news: "Young Dee learns fate in suspension appeal". 😀

I also hate seeing such lengthy shots of players being helped off injured or getting treatment, when you are wondering what is happening in the game.

He's let his hair go while he's been out. 😄

Brereton is just a big mansplainer.

He was 5 months old at the start of the 2000 season.

Guernseys are turning into singlets.

Don't know why there's argument. Cornes will have moved on to some other self-opinionated clickbait by tomorrow.

It's April.

I thought Hibberd was great at winning a contest but his disposal was very unreliable when he got it.

He'll be a Melbourne premiership player forever.

You don't drop an important defender after just coming back from a break. He's not "tired" to need "resting". He had 23 disposals (12 contested) and kept Cumberland quiet after he kicked three early goals.

We will need to manage some players, but Hibberd has just come back in. He plays a vital role on mid or small forwards.
