Exactly. ANB played his heart out till the end. Dogga phoned it in for the second half of 2022. And a lousy finals performance for someone of his talent. Half an effort and we would have got over the line in at least one final.

Exactly. Blues kick in the guts twice in 2 weeks and we can say "out in straight sets"

We're watching a dees style attack.

Any danger of Luke Jackson exerting his influence? Lions will cream both these teams next week.

Comprehensively outclassed last night. Stark contrast in forward play. We don't have one. Pies excelled in this. Staying deep. Lead up marks close to goal. Low midfield pressure had defence helpless.. Cannot hit a target for nuts. Lost huge talent for game so partially understandable but not the cause of the route. Fascinating off season coming up.

Tiny queue outside mcc gates 2. Concerning.

Correct. She (and the Board) completed their job on the election issues and the judge ruled accordingly. Thats her job. Her next job is now pursuing costs. Go get them Kate.

No coincidence Lever was put up to sen for this interview. Excellent media performer who delivered the key messages about Trac beautifully. No yeh nah stuff that poor old Jack V would have rolled with. Smart one Perty

Extension to 2028

Letter to members just dropped. Nice one Jack. Classy Now can we block clickbait from media.?

I suspect WCW you have provided us with the most significant thread/contribution from you for the year with the focus on and breaking the Trac story and accompanying content. We're all sleeping better tonight. Now a lead story online in the AGE but with interestingly no leaking of meeting content, just that it occurred. Much appreciated.

I wonder if he's on afl360 anytime soon. That would be worth the price of admission

Agree on Mcrae and the few times the heats been on he reverts to type like whingeing about umpires last week. Nicely slapped down by Longmire. I just suspect Mcrae not a racist so fitting in at the Pies may be tricky for him

Correct on the losses, but when we win, I'm seeing unbridled joy of Clarry that Kate repsonds likewise. That's investment in a club if ever I saw it. Thanks for the previous post - essential reading IMO

Never a truer word spoken Fuchsias and the best example recently being the 20 year reign of Eddie at the Pies. As you point out Eddie drove the racist culture and until he was forced out nothing changed. I feel for Craig McRae who is lumbered with Ned kelly and his continued culture problem and must emabrrass their coach who seems decent. But Eddie and Ned are tight and I susepct Jeff Browne has drunk the Kool Aid too, henc the unqualified defence of Ned. Disgrace and I can't help but wonder how the great Nev Jetta is feeling. I know Jodie Sizer (Pies Board director) and have wondeded why she also sits on her hands on this. Must like the Board perks.

There's been some talk on here about Pert and Roffey. I stay for the team leaving the ground each week, and each winning game at the G this year, Roffey's been at the gate acknowledging the team and Maybe its me, but Iv'e noiced Clarry and Kate hug in joy each time. Not staged. Oliver has been a class act this year given the talk he's had to put up with and his hand injury etc. As Dwayne Russel said on the weekend, in 2025 the Dees get back a fit Oliver and Trac and JVR has his break out year (supported by Disco) and posed the question why can't the Dees bounce back quickly. I agree. Then Gawn re-signs and I bet Viney at some stage. A couple of line coach mods and strategic approach with the talent list and I'm bullish. The 8 varies each year by 3 teams out and 3 new teams in. Same this year. The Dees will be one of those three in.

And what about Eagles pathetic effort at home. It's the culture.

Exactly. But kudos the the club. The period is sensible for both parties.

7th aa on the way this year too

Which demonlander is going to first call it for the blues. And the end of the Pies? Me.! Fascinating approach to next Friday night.

Tick, maybe and tick. So far.

Correct. Today's the day. Saints will beat blues next week. Fingers crossed. Go Crippa.

Blues win today pies are out of finals. Pies poor % will get them in any other circumstances

Pies media hype has started but by my best calculations a 100 point margin over dees next week will see them well under 8th spot on %. No chance of finals. Includes blues losing next week to saints

I think we are missing what the real opportunity is here to screw the Pies. It's not a matter of the dees winning . It's probably about ensuring they don't win by 60 points plus to get the required % boost. What would be better than watching the second half pies fans knowing they can't meet that target during the game with the dees defence rock solid. Cook them slowly
