1980s scoreline in the Pies vs Hawks game.
Hawthorn 19.27 (141)
Collingwood 22.9 (141)
Little should be read into the result, as Collingwood were 11 goals up after three quarters before both clubs turned out VFL sides for the remainder of the six-quarter game

Paddy Naish got a second half run with the Eagles last night.
14 disposals (5 contested), 3 mark, 3 clearances and a goal in less than 40% game time.

..and still cost the Coolers at least one goal through a trademark squib act... :shh
-
Chol had 7 possies, 4 marks and kicked a goal last night before doing a hammy and taken off at half-time.
Stengle didn't do much (10 possies, 1 goal) after kicking 4 goals against us last week.

Season opener and Grand Final replay and the Ponsford stand is sparse while the top deck of the Southern Stand looks empty. Unless there's a late turn-up due to it being a worknight that will disappoint the AFL.
There's a reason why Richmond vs Carlton was the season opener. The 'G is guaranteed to be filled every year.
-
It really is a centre clearance game now. Dogs dominating.
Melbourne with just 19 tackles in a half of footy.
Salem a big loss for the Dees. They didn't get injuries to key players last year.
Btw, the crowd estimate is 60k according to Ch 7. That's fairly ordinary for a season opener involving the Grand Finalists.
-
Dees able to even up the clearances in the 2nd half, turn it into a turnover game and they shut down the Dogs offensively. Aside from Naughton and with Bontempelli not right the Dogs had no one else up forward. Poor ol' Josh Schache certainly knows how to spud it up at either end of the ground. Only topped by Cordy who had minus 17m gained lol.
Crowd was 58k. Only Big 4 clubs fill the 'G :yep.

It's a bloody Wednesday. Stupid night for a game. Even Thursday is pushing it.
Game itself was like a vanilla replay of the GF

Shocking crowd even allowing for it being on a Wednesday night.
The AFL & Both Clubs especially Melbourne should be embarrassed by the number 58,002
Pathetic really

Haven't lost anything losing Butler or Higgins. Higgo still can't kick straight.
-
The umps sure look after the Pies. No such thing as HTB for them while that non-call ignoring the clear whack to Marshall's head with 4 mins to go kept the Pies safely more than a kick in front.
Higgo no goals and 4 behinds. Same old same old. Mind you at least he had a few shots at goal unlike Butler who has gone missing at the Saints post his first 11 weeks there in 2020 where he was on fire.
Bad loss for the Saints. The an older group but unlike us they aren't coming off flags and GFs. Their current group of mature top ups was exposed once again tonight. They are trapped in mid-ladder mediocre land and are going nowhere. Not good enough to play finals but not rebuilding via the draft either.
-
Essendon meet reality check :rollin.
Another year of getting pumped up by the media during the preseason before being found out as pretenders yet again :yep.
-
4 goals to Stengle today. Granted it was against a hapless Essendon and a very open game with little physical pressure but if he's now matured and learnt from his past mistakes and can find some consistency then he can become a good get for the Cats. He always had natural talent. It was a lack of maturity and commitment both on and off field that let him down and cost his career at two clubs. We offered him a two year deal at the end of 2018 but he walked out on us claiming lack of opportunity rather than staying and working hard for a spot in our 22 ahead of Butler, Higgins (both gone) and Dan Rioli (now at half-back). We're now crying out for damaging small forwards :-\.
-
Tom Green.... :gotigers :shh
-
I’m sure Betts at Geelong would be doing wonders for Stengle.
-
Norf heading for another spoon :lol.
Just 4 disposals for CCJ by the way. He can't blame us anymore for him hardly touching the pill.
-
Rachele has this week's Rising Star nomination in the bag with 5 goals on debut. No wonder the Crows were desperate to get him.
-
Norf heading for another spoon :lol.

Death riding the roos this year. Pick 19 would be a great get for us.

A few ex-Tigers in last night's game - Ellis, Chol, Naish.

Carlton all over the Dogs so far. The Blues carrying on from last week against us.
-
9 goals between McKay and Curnow tonight. Shows how well Tarrant, Gibcus and Grimes did last week to hold both of them to just 1 goal combined given the Blues clearance domination.
Carlton remind me us in 1995. Starting the season all guns blazing after a decade long drought as a bottom 4 side. Right now they would beat most sides. The question is whether they can keep this high intensity up all season.
Dogs have Sydney next week. Could easily be 0-3 when we play them in Round 4. No guarantee we won't be winless either if our midfield dish up the same soft rubbish before then :-\.
-
Ah there's the old Scum that gets kissed on the dick every week that I grew up with.... :shh
-
Congrats Buddy :clapping.
Incredible scenes! :o Looked like 20k ended up on the ground around him. The few security guards had no chance lol. Thankfully no idiots spoiled it. Buddy himself was loving it. Couldn't get the smile off his face.

That's fan engagement!
Dunno if anyone will ever kick 100/year again but they need to let this stuff happen.
Imagine getting there first and joining the team hug? Amazing

Bombers and Port 0-2 :rollin.
Just fold this club nothing but disappointment year after year
I feel sorry for the fans who pay top dollars for memberships every year and they have to up with this stuff

A rookie coach who was still playing as recently as 5 years ago has come over here with a team that was one of the favourites for the wooden spoon and absolutely dismantled us.
Yet another nail in Hinkleys coffin.

I look forward to Kane's comments about Port's season being over and how worried he is for them :rollin
-
Dogs deservedly win tonight but they almost threw that one away in the last. They should have won by at least 6 goals given they dominated pretty much every stat including the free kick count 31 - 14.
We've got the Dogs the following week at the 'G. We'll need to be on song in the midfield in terms of matching them in contested footy and clearances as that's the Doggies strength.
-
Thought the swans got reamed by the maggots
-
Dogs always win the frees. Think they have the highest differential over 5 years?

What a crazy ending to the Showdown! With Port up by a point, Boak is given 50m and a shot to seal the game for Port with 2 mins to go but he misses. McKenzie then takes a defensive mark with 45 secs to go and Port just need to keep possession to win. They go long though to a contest and the Crows get it forward with seconds to go and Port give away a free. The Crows player can't take the free so Adelaide's best kick Dawson has the set shot after the siren. It's a mongrel kick but it swings back late and the Crows win. Port players left standing on the ground totally stunned. Cough cough cough! :lol.
-
The shot on goal was insane. I couldn’t believe it swung back
-
Just watched the highlights.
That last free was 100% there and the kick by Dawson was...well...it went in haha.

The Giants winning easy today makes our win last week look even better. Mind you the Suns were ordinary.
Out of the ex-Tigers, Chol kicked 3 but all of them were late in the last quarter during junk time.
-
Pendlebury just accused Dangerfield of diving to the ump. Not the first time for Dangerflop as we know.
-
one of the very few non richmond games ive watched which is strange as I hate these 2 equally. I do however see plenty of similarities between the way pies are playing and the way we played in our GF years.
Our model stacks up. We just need to bring it every week, along with some more youth.
-
Poor ol' putty cats going down :snidegrin.
I hate Collingwood but can we take it as positive that McRae has the Pies playing the Richmond way?
Edit: beat me to it Frankie :thumbsup.
-
Or is it now a bonus that the Pies are choking? :snidegrin
-
Hot pies
-
The pressure game still works against Geelong but it's got to be sustained over four quarters as we did to them during 2017-2022 and Melbourne did to them in last year's Prelim. Pies looked off their feet in the last. Sidebottom couldn't even run. Mind you no excuses when their highest paid players fail when it counts - Grundy lost out to Stanley in the ruck giving Geelong centre clearance dominance and De Goey went missing in the last quarter (he's no Dusty).
-
Throw Pies and not get pinged Pies..
-
Or is it now a bonus that the Pies are choking? :snidegrin
an old fashioned choke from the pies is always great to see.

Tonight's game sums up how bland the game has become under SHocking's rules :P.
Goal-less first half and ill-disciplined off the ball frees by Port. Hope Kane Cornes is enjoying it :lol.

Can only imagine Jack & Lynch ever getting the "frees" Hawkins gets down at the Cattery.
This was paid a "holding" free to Hawkins just before 3/4 time. Where's the hold? :huh3

-
I’ve watched this half and I feel like turning this rubbish off.
It seems holding the ball doesn’t apply to dangerflog. The umpiring is pathetic and lions have been robbed.
-
Boy are the umps looking after Hawkins. Clearly pushed Andrews in the back with both hands and no free. Another gifted goal ::).
-
GWS on the wrong end of a 16-42 free kick count against Freo at the Perth Disco....thank stuff we're at least playing them over here this year...though we've got the Coolers over there in a few weeks... :help
.....and on a lighter note #lolpies... :shh

Welcome back navy Blues
-
It's game like tonight where you sit there scratching your head and ask yourself how the hell did a spud like Cox play well against us in that Prelim?! :huh3
The one game wonder has done stuff all once again and the few times he has got near the ball he's dropped absolute sitters lol.
-
Provided we win [touchwood :pray], the Pies loss tonight opens the door for us to jump into the top 8.

Mason Cox's game last night ranked lower than the sub that didn't play lol.

Essendon going backwards at a rate of knots :lol
-
GWS are a very selfish footy team. It's been that way for years. It's caused them to underachieve over the past decade with so many early picks and will most likely now cost Cameron his job. Tonight actually turned into what should have been a very winnable game for the Giants given the Saints were down a man down on the bench, lost both their rucks and Max King had the yips in front of goal. However, the Saints were willing to work hard as a team when it counted and GWS didn't. Summed up by Himmelberg selfishly calling for the ball from Flynn who had a set shot only 20m out and then spraying the snap OOTF. They are coach and momentum killers. Ironically, this selfishness arguably comes from all those early picks and too many of them wanting to be the main man rather than playing a role for the benefit of the team.
-
North are now last and pick 19 is looking good.

Brodie Grundy is expected to be sidelined for up to three months after suffering a knee injury on Anzac Day.

Poor putty cats fell down at the Cattery :lol. Won't here them whinging about playing finals at the 'G this week :wallywink.
As for GWS thumping the Crows :o. One of those games where you scratch your head and go we beat the Giants easily, so how did we lose to this Adelaide side. The Crows sure didn't play like that against us. We copped them playing their best game in 5 years while we threw that game away playing crap :P.
-
As we learnt a decade ago, selling homes that cost you 4pts isn't worth the extra cash. Not that I'm unhappy to see the smug Saints fall back down to Earth.

‘It’s unfair’: Jack Riewoldt believes Eagles game should be postponed amid Covid chaos.
“Let‘s say Brisbane play about half a West Coast side and have a big win - We gained 20% last week. That’s massive,” he said.
“You play West Coast twice this year, a depleted West Coast, which is nothing to do with them, then you’re getting 40%, that’s huge when finals rolls around.”

How is that unfair?
It's very unlikely that half their team will be decimated and you'd gain 20% TWICE in a year.

Nort doing the job again
The draft pick for CCJ gets better by the week

Poor putty cats fall down. Hope you enjoyed it SHocking. Not even rigging the rules can help your aging Cats win a flag :wallywink.
The Saints love the fast weather free conditions of Marvel. The reason why I tipped them to beat Geelong. The only neg. for them is Higgins has copped another head knock. That's twice he's had concussion in six weeks. So he's going to miss at least a week or even more.
-
Suns did a number on freo today as well. Good result for us.

Hopefully Freo come back to the chasing pack. They've got Melbourne and Brisbane in the next 3 weeks.
Chol is having a pretty good year so far for the Suns as someone they got as a free agent. 19 goals after 9 rounds is a decent return. He's on par with Daniher and only a goal or two behind the likes of Naughton, McKay and Buddy.
-
No Kennedy next week when we play the Swans. If he hadn't done his hammy he would be suspended anyway.
Carlton have a soft next two games against the Pies and Dons. So they are likely to be 10-2 by the time we face them.
-
Hawks knocked off Brisbane :o.
-
8 point game Friday night. Pies are knocking off the dockers who play the dees next week in Melbourne.
Massive game.
-
Freo has come from 4 goals down at HT and knocked off Melbourne 94-56 with a 12 goal to 1 second half :o.
-
It further stuffs up my footy tips but very happy Freo have beaten the arrogant, cocky, smug Dees
Can't stand them. I remember after we won in 2017 our Club made sure they stayed humble and respectful. Dees have been anything but....
-
Bulldogs thump the Eagles by more than 100 points so we are out of the 8
Makes last night's loss even more hard to stomach

Yep, agree. Treloar was robbed by the stupidest application of the stupidest rule in football.
Nice to see 'Hair model' Smith end up in the book for trying to be manly. Rule #1 - Never headbutt an Irishman! You only encourage them ... ::)
-
The umps were soft on the stand rule last night though. Players continually allowed to move back beyond 5m rather than being told to "stand".
Then there was the typical Hawkins flop to earn a freebie free because someone barely touched his shoulder.
Dogs exposed again for not having multiple tall options ahead of the footy. If Naughton is held then they fail to kick a winning score no matter how many more inside 50s they generate.
-
The Swans so far tonight making our form last week not looking too bad. We've just got to stop being our own worst enemy with our dumb brainfades.
-
If Franklin was out there I'd be backing them from half time
-
Not the result we wanted but as I said at half-time it makes our form not too bad. We didn't have Lynch, Balta and Lambert against the Swannies and we were playing away at the SCG. But all that will mean nothing if we don't perform against Port. A must win game now.
Melbourne are now gettable even when Gawn dominates. As we learnt the hard way in 2018, it's hard to be reigning premier when everyone is gunning for you each and every week. It's from the midpoint into the second half of the season that you can start to be worn down.
-
I hope Dees have been drinking their own bathwater and flop like we did in 2018
-

The way they played in the 2nd half, they clearly have. No one was prepared to work hard when they were pressed.
I actually had breakfast with friend who is a Dee's member. They asked what I thought of the loss. My reply was that I reckon they are playing arrogant. Some so called "stars" are coasting along, not prepared to work hard when things get tough. And a couple of them are just so arrogant with everything they do. One in particular was a smug arrogant upstatt before their flag and is now worse
I can honestly say thet IMHO all through our premiership years our players were always respectful of the opposition and tried to stay humble. Cannot not say the same about the Demons. Been showing arrogance from the moment they won the flag. And it starts at the top with their smug coach
Just my take

It sucks when the Pies who we easily took care of sneak home and jump above us into the Eight :thumbsdown.
Just shows again you can't rely on other clubs stuffing up or doing you a favour. No excuses next week. We just need to win.
-
I hope Dees have been drinking their own bathwater and flop like we did in 2018
The way they played in the 2nd half, they clearly have. No one was prepared to work hard when they were pressed.
I actually had breakfast with friend who is a Dee's member. They asked what I thought of the loss. My reply was that I reckon they are playing arrogant. Some so called "stars" are coasting along, not prepared to work hard when things get tough. And a couple of them are just so arrogant with everything they do. One in particular was a smug arrogant upstatt before their flag and is now worse
I can honestly say thet IMHO all through our premiership years our players were always respectful of the opposition and tried to stay humble. Cannot not say the same about the Demons. Been showing arrogance from the moment they won the flag. And it starts at the top with their smug coach
Just my take
How about Petracca slagging off their own supporters for not turning up. Hello self-entitlement!

We need a few teams above us to start losing some games they expected to win. We need to stay on course and win as many as possible. We are still an outside chance to make top 4.
-
Brisbane last night played similar to us. Should have won by 6 or 7 goals but butchered chances that kept the game close.
-
The MRO would prove it's the joke it is if Horne-Francis is given the same penalty as Pickett :thumbsdown.
Pickett got a week for a football act (shepherd) where no one got hurt. A swinging arm with a clenched fist to the jaw isn't a football act. Kelly was also left on the ground feeling his jaw. JHF has to cop multiple weeks for this.

Lucky fella wont be able to play for Norf for several weeks. If only it was that easy to get out of a contract? :whistle
-
Pies put away another top 8 team.
If that doesn’t fire us up Thursday to reclaim that spot in the 8 then put a line through our season.
-
Wonder if the wheels are falling off Dees on the back of the bullying claims and May/Melksham saga?
Gee I hope so.
Pies showing how much you can gain from playing the kids IMO.

Horne-Francis suspended for two weeks.
The Match Review Officer graded the incident as medium impact, intentional conduct and high contact, which results in a two-game ban.

They (the Dees) are reaping what they have sowed
Arrogance breeds contempt... which is they way they've been playing and behaving...
So sympathy for them at all....
Actually enjoying this implosion TBH ;D

Bombers up by 37 on the Saints at 3/4 time. A bonus result for us if the Dons can hold on. Huge momentum swings in that 3rd quarter. The Saints came back from 28 pts down to level but then Essendon kicked away again :o.
-
Good work Aints
-
Thanks Bombers ;D.
That did some damage to the Saints percentage as well so we've jumped above them into 7th :thumbsup.
-
Thanks Bombers ;D.

Not good for my footyvtips though ;D
And if Port beat Sydney we could end up 6th

The perfect footy weekend if port get up and we go 6th.
-
And 6th we are :lol

Too much to ask weagles to beat the pussies? Probably

Would help us a lot going into next week, and also push Norf to 18th which improves our pick next year :D
-
Geelong got up by 18 points
-
You could pretty much write off Brisbane as a contender based on the last night's soft effort. Pumped themselves up about playing on the MCG and yet just caved after 1/4 time. Their percentage copped a nice whack too.
-
Essendon :rollin.
Bomberblitz in meltdown :rollin.
-
Bomber fans getting their hopes up early only to have them crushed is hilarious :lol.
First quarter:
Glad I stayed up.
Needed the morale booster.
This is the first time I’ve watched WC this year. They really are terrible…
This could be a massive thumping
this could be a % boosting win
This is a dead set training drill. Last week the Eagles looked ok against the Cats.
Glad I got up. I need a happy weekend for once.

Post game:
Worst Essendon side in history. Absolute rabble and these pack of duds should be ashamed of themselves
Kill me
Sack Rutton. EFC aren’t getting a cent from me until they do. This was an utter embarrassment.
Lol, what an inept group. So typical of this ■■■■ club to play the opposition into form.
I bet not one player in the rooms will care they will all pat them selves on the bum and then live on social media via instra gram etc
Bunch of absolute losers
There’s no club more accomodating to others in the competition.
We are the communal glory hole of the AFL.
An absolute joke of epic proportions. Last week’s rare win is going to cost us any meaningful change - the poison chalice.
Rutten shrugging his shoulders on the bench post-game. The “oh well” look with the hands in the pockets.
I actually hate supporting us. Hate “wELL gO aNd sUPPoRT sOmEOnE eLsE THeN” - if only it were that easy!
This club is a ■■■■■■■ RABBLE. All I have to show for supporting these ■■■■■■■ idiots for the last 20 years is a ■■■■■■■ headache and a chest full of frustration. ■■■■ the lot of them, ■■■■ their constant barrage of marketing emails, ■■■■ their happy clapping crap podcasts talking about Teslas and Mercedes the little bastards haven’t earned. Just ■■■■ them seriously.
Completely and utterly over it. Some truly ■■■■ footy tonight. 2 goals down against a bunch of muppets who probably smoked a pack of darts and had a 4 pack of Red Bears apiece pre game and we’re short kicking it in the 4th, terrified of being exposed on the turnover because there’s no belief in the ■■■■ game plan this spud has us playing.
Im sorry Truck you seem a genuinely nice guy but you must go. My confidence in this club is now completely bankrupt. I’m insolvent emotionally. ■■■■■■■ fold and just do merchandise. We are the Sega of football. Just do merchandise, motivational speaking and pokies. No more football please.
I’ve stopped caring about results, and it has set me free. Most of the year I’ve had the game on in the background while I do others stuff at home. It’s honestly been the best thing i have done.
I’m well past getting angry. And I’m not sure I can go back to being emotionally invested in this club, like have been my whole life.
The board, the CEO…… and the raft of bad decisions leading up to the drug saga. I’ve given this club all my energy, and have gotten nothing in return.

Take away Freo's stoppage game and they become a very ordinary team. We need to remember this when we play them in a few weeks time.
Our win over Carlton last week looking even better though. All about key injuries for us between success and failure :-\. Our best 22 or close to it is still quality.
-
Lions hand the Bulldogs a thumping
Doggies drop around 5% and we are back in the 8
-
McKay has been flopping all night at the slightest contact and the umps have been falling it :facepalm. Compare that to Lynch who gets his head nearly ripped off and yet it gets called play on ::).
Saints down to one on the bench. Butler lucky not to be knocked out as well when he and Clark collided heads.
-
Blues showing they are the great pretenders :snidegrin
-
Blues showing they are the great pretenders :snidegrin
Absolutely
They are the biggest frauds of the lot
-
Frees 21 to 9. Umps sure tried to get Carlton over the line but the Blues couldn't kick straight. Up yours bluebaggers ;D.
Anyway, a good result for us. We need those above us vying for the top 4 to lose.
-
Essendon's initial crappiness lulled the Swans into a false sense of security lol. Bombers now in front :o.
-
Thank gawd I'm not a Bombers fan. No wonder they are bottom 4. Thick as planks and skills to match :help.
-
Bombers in front with 5 mins to go.
Hate them but want the Dons to win for our sake.
-
Stringer - what an idiot!
-
They won lol
-
Good stuff! Great result for us :thumbsup.
-
Great game to watch actually.
Essendon played high risk corridor footy and it was enjoyable.
-
We didnt get anywhere near enough compo for Chol
-
We didnt get anywhere near enough compo for Chol
We weren't giving him many games either
Enjoying Suns v Pies. Gee I hope the sun's win. They're a dead set team of top picks and recycled rejects haha.
-
Great game, shame for Suns.
North doing their best to secure us pick 19 thanks Boyz enjoy your VFL ruckman
-
There were some curious umpiring decisions in the last couple of minutes that helped the Pies (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1061/1924/products/Emoji_Icon_-_Thinking_large.png?v=1571606093).
HTB against De Goey not paid?
Miller’s legs taken out not paid?
Collins HTB without being tackled?
https://twitter.com/AFL/status/1543207832140402689
-

Ellis is the one we got screwed over by the AFL. A 176 RFC game dual premiership player who has ended up playing already almost 50 games for the Suns - gone for a pick in the 40s which is effectively only a third round pick :thumbsdown.

That was a hatchet job, plain & simple. Gollywood needed something to get the ball out of defence & suddenly their 19th, 20th & 21st players came to the rescue!
DeGoey did cop a little high tackle which was released immediately (probably unsighted since it wasn't instantly paid), but the other two were dead set cheating! Gilligan taking out the legs of Miller was so obvious its an absolute howler, the HTB just after it was pure fiction!
This was a case of match fixing with the umpires ensuring the desired result. :thumbsdown
-
A reminder to the Cats that finals aren't played on your dunghill. I tipped Geelong tonight because it was at Sleepy Hollow and Melbourne had nothing to play for or prove.
Anyway, tonight's result makes our performance against Geelong look even better. They had sniper Stewart against us and we were missing Prestia for most of the game plus no Cotch, Balta and Lambert.

Can you see the AFL with their love child (Geelong) playing a final at the G against the woeful lions or freo? I can’t
Reckon they get a home final.

I can't see them getting a home final while the construction of the new stand is going on
But then again Frankie you're probably right. HQ giving them a home final because of everything SHocking has done to the game
-
All over for the dogs after tonight
There’s no coming back from this, not with their draw
We are down to 9 finals contenders
-
Yep conceded 15 scoring shots in the first quarter. They are stuffed.
-
Deja vu for the Doggies
Like 2016 play off in a GF and miss finals the following year
-
Deja vu for the Doggies

Unbelievable isn’t it
-
North 20 pts up at Half-Time and actually playing some decent footy :o.
Pies fans doing their nut over the umps :snidegrin.
CCJ just 2 touches. Being bumped easily off the ball on the wing by a smaller opponent isn't nothing new to us.
-
Norf still up by 26 at 3/4 time :o.
For us next week, you need to shutdown LDU. Brought his own footy today and surprised the Pies still haven't put a hard tag on him. The other is Larkey. Norf need him to kick a bag as he has today.
-
Norf back to their usual ineptness and gifting the Pies the comeback.
Oh well, at least the Pies don't gain a heap of percentage.
-
Absolutely peeweak they couldn't hold on for a 1 point win. Keep the pies within reach and keep our pick 19 as well.
Pathetic roos.
-
Freo will keep us in the Eight for another week.
Won't affect the result but that non-HTB decision against Freo followed immediately by a HTB against St Kilda plus 50 has to be one of the worst umpiring decisions you will see.
-
Crappy weekend when Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon all win and we throw away one.
10 goals between Curnow and McKay. Helps when you have mids that can win the ball and hit targets inside F50. The Blues unfortunately are hungry and put the foot down when it mattered. 78 - 0 in the first and last quarters against the Eagles :help.
-
Saints haven't turned up and are gifting the Dogs a huge percentage boost. Probably enough to have us outside the top 8 tonight. On the positive side if we turn up to play tomorrow then we can go a game and potentially % ahead of ninth.
-
Only 28pt win haha
-
Keeps us in the Eight ;D.
-
C'mon Crows :pray. Up 48-39 at HT on the Pies.
-
Crows up 68 - 65 at 3/4 time. Lead by 16 but the Pies kicked the last two goals.
-
Pies win another game by under a kick :chuck. Just shows how important winning close games is. That's their sixth (24 premiership points).
-
Geelong bring Carlton back to earth with a thud
Swans over run Freo
Makes our loss today even the more galling
And
Makes next Friday night's game so bloody crucial
-
Melb 58 Port 48 - 3QT
Ess 28 GC 25 - QT
-
Port lost to Melb 69-83.
Ess 64 GC 34 @ HT. Same position we were in last week ::).
-
Bombers flogged the Suns by 8 goals with 33 shots to 15.
An indictment on us in so many ways. Just shows that last week just like yesterday we threw away another game disrespecting the opposition we arrogantly thought we could beat with minimum effort and wasted another chance to put a gap on the sides outside the Eight.
This year is almost turning into a repeat of last year where the sides vying for the last spot kept on blowing their finals chances week after week. Essendon fell into the Eight last year with just 11 wins.
-
No surprise North are getting flogged today. They played their GF last week and we let them :banghead.
-
41 point turnaround in the 3rd qtr in Adelaide :o. Port and Geelong now level early last qtr.
As much as we all hate Geelong, Port losing this would be better for us.
-
Cats won by 2 goals. So we're a game and a half ahead of Port now.
-
Thanks for nothing Melbourne. That last quarter was something we've dished up over the past 3 weeks. Just shows you can't rely on other sides. No one was counting on JUH having a breakout game.
We've only got ourselves to blame that we're now out of the Eight :banghead.
-
Has Bottom-Jelly had a free kick against him in his whole career? He can do anything good, bad or ugly & the decision never goes against him. Comparing it to how our players get treated is just puzzling ... :huh
Good player ... not surprisingly ...
-
That last goal by JUH was sensational.
Doesn't bother me that we're out of the 8. Don't deserve to be there tbh. Nice to see Dees lose.
-
That's how you do it, Tigers. Take a mark inside 50 with 30 secs to go .... don't play on! ..... and then stick to your routine no matter what and kick it straight through the middle. Not lose your collective minds and have complete brainfades ::).
That was a brilliant kick by Elliot after the siren by the way.
Hate Collingwood with a passion but when you have players who can nail the shots that matter then you win close games. The pricks have won 8 of them this year and are now in the top 4. That's where we should be if not for our own stupidity :banghead.
Essendon on the other hand did what we've done this year. Missed a gettable shot directly in front from 30m out to seal the game with a minute to go only to keep the opposition in it and for them to steal it.
-
Saints win
We're now 10th
:banghead :banghead
-
Balta and Cumberland take note.
Cumberland for being young and inexperienced. Balta for being a goose.
-
Melbourne turned up to play against Freo tonight. No way do the Dockers make top 4 on their current form. They can't move the ball and score enough with their forward line. Sadly don't see them getting near the Dogs next week at Marvel when we need Freo to do us a favour.
Tonight also shows how poor we were forward of centre all game last week and in the contested footy after half time. We keep ordinary teams in games and pay for it.
-
The only way we are making finals is if we win all 4 remaining games.
Can’t see dogs beating cats in selwoods 350th, so this is our only chance to get back in.
Drop one more and it’s over.

Agree that this is it. But you know what - I'd rather lose & be done with it!
Otherwise we scrape into the 8 only to bow out in a week or two - like Geelong do.
We bring in a few half cooked retirees just to stay in contention - like Geelong do.
We play finals every year but never taste success - like Geelong do!
We rack up multitudes of members, only to rip them all off - like Geelong do!
I really don't want to be the new Geelong - the bridesmaid of the AFL ...
Skyrockets zoom upwards with little fanfare, then they explode releasing showers of light & color. Everybody looks up in wonder & admiration, waiting for more ...
I'd rather be a skyrocket ... I can wait ... its totally worth it!
Re-build & do it properly, no short cuts or patch ups. Do the hard yards & build a new skyrocket, then light the fuse & step back ... :cheers
-
If we don't win tomorrow we may as well tank the rest of the games tbh
Either make finals and have a red hot go or tank for a better pick
-
respect your opinion JP, but i dont agree. Once upon a time i may have.
we arent the RFC of old. Finals are great for the kids, and would be even an better send off for some of our players, if we can knock of one of the arch enemies in a cut throat elimination final.
Furthermore, us members have had a poo year with our club so it would ne nice to finish on a high in finals.
Tanking is for bums. Lambo, Short, Grimes, Nank, didnt come from tanking.
-
Pies win another close one by a kick although this time around they had to hang on after leading by as much as 4 goals in the last quarter. Port had their chances but missed a couple of gettable shots plus a dropped chest mark which were costly. So you'd think that's the end for Port's finals chances. Hopefully they think that way next week when we play them (provided we win ourselves tomorrow or we're basically gone as well).
-

Sure, I was not condoning tanking. I agree that tanking is for bums, & we all know who they are. That is what I meant by 'doing it properly' - ie - not by tanking! It means finishing where we deserve to finish, a genuine & organic finish as opposed to an orchestrated one (like Geelong do! Or Melbourne ...or Carlton ...etc). I'm not afraid of finishing out of the 8 if that's where we deserve to be. Facing the truth is a great lesson for all our kids & even our veterans. Its where hunger comes from & that's the lesson we learned from our 'Ninthmond' era.
If we happen to creep into the finals I will be here barracking away with the best, but I wont feel shamed if we miss the 8. I wont be trying to shame the club with my outrage either.
-
👍 fair call JP can’t argue with that.
Might not matter either way. Cats are getting smashed. Our season might be cooked tonight considering the games dogs have coming up.
-
Tonight is another reason to hate Geelong. Didn't turn up to play in the first quarter despite it being Selwood's 350th and gifted the Dogs a 4 goal start :thumbsdown.
ps. That Dangerfield stuffed up handpass to Hawkins after he marked it 25 out is something out of our brainfade playbook this year :facepalm.
-
Crows up on the Blues and on top in general play. Carlton have a tough last 3 weeks (Bris away, Melb and Pies) so they wouldn't want to drop this one. Could potentially open another spot for either us, Dogs or the Saints.
-
Thanks for finally waking up Cats. Playing with the competition right now. Their flag to lose sadly. They'll be glad we stuffed up over the past month and won't be around to stop them :banghead.
Let's hope both games tonight stay the same they are now through the last quarters :pray.
-
Go Crows :thumbsup.
Did the chasing pack a favour. Potentially two spots in the Top 8 now open given Carlton tough draw from here.
-
No defence tonight. Just a shootout. Melbourne should be further in front given their dominating the clearances but Collingwood are making the most of their F50 entries.
-
Pies win again, now 2nd on the ladder
The Dees, reckon the karma bus got them tonight. That and their arrogance with a touch of poor efforts by a couple of blokes at crucial times
-
For stuff sake
peees me off as this was our game plan and we didn’t get any players in the off season that could have had is in this conversation.
-
It looked like old Melbourne tonight. Sideways and backwards handballs resulting in turnovers.
They are looking ordinary..
-
If actually rather Pies won the flag more than Geelong or Brisbane.
At least they're good to watch

-
I hate Geelong especially since Shocking changed the rules for their benefit but I'm with Frankie here. Jack Dyer would be turning in his grave having any Tiger supporter wishing the Pies any success :yep.
Also I'm old school in the fact I look at the number of premierships won. Geelong has only nine so even if we have to put up with them winning the flag this year they will still be three behind us. Pies on 15 and hopefully they continue to stay there for a long long time. Same goes with Melbourne by the way as we're currently equal with them on 13. Prefer the Swans out of the current top 4 to win it if we can't/don't as they only have 5 flags.
ps. Hopefully the Bombers play like this in round 23. GWS clearly responded to McVeigh's spray in last week's presser.
-
Brisbane jumping out of the blocks again. 31 - 2 up on Carlton. This time we want them to win :yep.
-
Always good seeing Carlton getting flogged ;D.

That is carlton season right there one would think.

Cripps chose to bump and got Ah Chee high. Automatically medium impact based on the Pickett ruling. The fact Ah Chee went off it could be considered high impact.
So careless, high, medium/high impact = 1-2 weeks.
Then again it's Cripps and he doesn't play for Richmond so he'll probably get off while Kmac will be given a week :-\.
-
Brisbane doing its best to choke again. 57 points up at 3/4 time back to 15 points.
-
The Lions have finally sealed it. Margin back out to 33.
So we could jump over Carlton next week :pray.

Trying to be unbiased i hope he gets off as the game is soft enough, but in reality and according to the lotto numbers thats 2 weeks considering Ah chee was subbed off.
That is carlton season right there one would think.
Cripps chose to bump and got Ah Chee high. Automatically medium impact based on the Pickett ruling. The fact Ah Chee went off it could be considered high impact.
So careless, high, medium/high impact = 1-2 weeks.
Then again it's Cripps and he doesn't play for Richmond so he'll probably get off while Kmac will be given a week :-\.
Will go to the tribunal you would think?
Not sure if it works in KMac favour this Cripps hit.
No way he cops the same penalty as Cripps so we hope it’s KMac fine and Cripps 1 or 2.
Fox showed Willy Rioli earlier in the year get off. :lol

It would go to the tribunal if it gets classed as "severe" impact. That would be a minimum 3 weeks.
Yep Frankie, we're hoping for a fine for Kmac and Cripps rubbed out. As you say it would be a joke if both were given the same penalty.

Patrick Cripps has been offered a two-match suspension by the Match Review Officer for his hit on Callum Ah Chee that left the Brisbane utility concussed.
Michael Christian graded the incident from Sunday's match as careless conduct, high contact and high impact.

Patrick Cripps' AFL Tribunal appeal has failed.
He'll miss the final two games of the home-and-away season.

Commonsense prevails at the Tribunal :o. The Blues trying to claim Cripps didn't bump Ah Chee as well as comparing it to the Willy Rioli incident which was a completely different scenario was a laughable defence.

Carlton has confirmed it will appeal the decision of the AFL Tribunal to uphold Patrick Cripps’ two-match ban for rough conduct.
While the Tribunal elected to uphold the Match Review Officer’s ban, the Blues confirmed on Wednesday night they would take their case to the AFL Appeals Board, with the case to be heard at 6pm AEST on Thursday.

anyone want to tell me the difference between this and Cripps? Ploughman copped 2.
After seeing this there should be no doubt he cops his whack, or the afl might as well shut up shop.

They have no hope. Cripps went the man IMO or at least did a dumb job of going for the ball and cleaned a bloke up.
2 weeks any day.

Rioli was lucky to get off but it's a different scenario. Rioli and Rowell were coming from opposite directions both at pace. Rowell also got up and played on IIRC unlike Ah Chee.

Appeals Board Chairperson Murray Kellam can't find his cursor and as a result can't turn his camera off.
He tried for two minutes but he still couldn't find it and so instead has just closed his laptop.

What a joke!
Pickett got a week for a shepherd where no one got hurt yet jump in the air with a late bump that concusses an opponent and it's all good :thumbsdown.

Appeals Board reason summation:
Failure to afford procedural fairness amounts to error of law. Because we're unable to identify the evidentiary basis of the finding, 'the actions of Cripps were in the bumping of an opponent', we conclude findings of the jury were unreasonable.
https://twitter.com/DavidZita1/status/1557711192613068800

wow
so let me get this right
the afl couldnt prove clear cut that Cripps intended to bump so therefore its an error law as the afl said he tried to bump?
Have i got that right?

Yep Frankie, that's the ruling. What a joke!
Jump in the air and turn your body to collect your opponent late and high with your shoulder and hip trying to go through him and this idiotic Appeals board chairperson didn't class it as a bump ::).
It's like arguing that if Ah Chee wasn't there then Cripps would've got the ball. Ummm ... well Ah Chee was there and got his hands to the ball first as Cripps lined him up.
Even Tom Stewart must be asking why didn't he have this idiot chairperson for his case. Could have argued if Prestia didn't get to the ball first and didn't tap it on then he would've got to the ball/contest ::).

AFL MRO/Tribunal explainer twitter:
So - cliff notes:
(1) the tribunal erred in finding Cripps “bumped”
-Cripps never gave evidence that he bumped
-AFL counsel never put to him that he “bumped” (to get his response)
-The video in itself doesn’t demonstrate he adopted a “classic bumping pose” as found
-Cripps wasn’t afforded natural justice as he nor his Counsel could provide submissions on it (essentially it came out of the blue in the reasons)
-The reasons don’t outline a sufficient evidentiary basis the tribunal relied on in arriving at the conclusion he “bumped”
-Not affording natural justice is an “error of law” - (so that ground is made out)
-Given the evidence before them, no reasonable tribunal acting reasonably could’ve concluded Cripps “bumped” (so the second ground is made out)
(2) Directions to the jury
-Given the above, a direction was required to be given to the jury as to the (lack of) evidence of a “bump” and how they were to determine the issue
-W/o that direction Cripps again wasn’t afforded natural justice, which was again an “error of law”
https://twitter.com/AFLTribunalexpl/status/1557729498766127104
----------------------------------------------------------
Long explanation:
Here we go (it’s a very long one):
"The AFL tribunal last Tuesday night concluded that the appellant had engaged in rough conduct contrary to the regulations.
"The regulation sets out the charge of rough conduct in the context of bumping.
"It states that a player will be guilty of rough conduct where in the bumping [of] an opponent whether reasonably or unreasonably the player causes forceful contact to be made with any part of his body, an opponent's head or neck.
"This intentional such conduct will be deemed to be careless unless this the player was contesting the ball and it was reasonable for the player to contest the ball in that way, or the forceful contact to the head or neck was caused by circumstances outside the control of the player which could not reasonably be foreseen.
"As it's clear the purpose of the rule echoes the overarching law. Speaking to reduce risk as far as practicable.
"The tribunal found and set out in it's reasons that both players, that is Mr. Cripps and Mr. Ah Chee, had eyes for the ball and that both players had contested the ball.
"The Tribunal nevertheless found that the acts by Mr. Cripps fell within the phrase 'in the bumping of an opponent'.
"Unable to conclude that the evidence before the tribunal is sufficient to form this view. Certainly the reasons given by the tribunal do not explain what evidence was relied upon for that view.
"In support of its conclusion, the Tribunal stated that Mr. Cripps turned his body into 'classic thumping position when seeking to take possession'.
"Suggestion or these words were never put to Mr. Cripps in cross-exam or were counselled to Cripps given the opportunity to make submissions in respect to such a description of Mr Cripps' behaviour.
"The first time the phrase was used was in the reasoning cited by the Tribunal.
"Likewise, the Tribunal made a finding that with both feet off the ground. Mr. Cripps bumped Mr. Ah Chee at high speed, that he leapt into the contest.
"His evidence was that at all times he had his eye on the ball and that his intention was to take possession of the ball in an aerial contest and that he did not see Mr. Ah Chee also launch for the ball.
"In cross examination it was never put to Mr. Cripps that he 'bumped', nor was it put to him that his action was not prudent, but an unreasonable speed.
"Brief reasons provided by the Tribunal do not amplify why Mr. Cripps' evidence was apparently disregarded. Reasons failed to explain the basis upon which it was concluded by the Tribunal that he turned his body into a classic bumping position.
"We are unable to conclude on the basis of these videos or the vision in those videos that Mr. Cripps did turn his body into a classic bump position.
"…the video confirms the statement in the ruling that both players had eyes for the ball , and that both contested the ball.
"Indeed, our conclusion was that the video did not reveal a bump, neither it set out a contest for the ball which resulted in a collision.
"Such circumstances, and take into account that such findings that were made by the Tribunal, were not put to Mr. Cripps.
"We consider that the finding was unreasonable and did not comply with the requirements of procedural fairness.
"The case that in our view warranted directions to the jury members no directions were given.
"There were clear difficulties in this case, arising from the evidence and from the submissions made, and in one aspect, from questions prompted from the Chair.
"Consider that there is weight in the submission that is asked on behalf of Mr. Cripps that those matters required to be the subject of appropriate directions to the jury so as to record Mr. Cripps procedural fairness
"Furthermore, those directions, had they been given would assist this board in understanding the basis upon which the conclusions which were reached by the tribunal.
"Consider that the failure to accord procedural fairness referred to above announced an error of law and in respect of rounds 20.2a, we found round made out.
"Further, because we are unable to identify the evidentiary basis of the finding that the actions of Mr. Cripps were in the bumping of an opponent, we conclude that the findings of the jury was under unreasonable in the terms of regulation 20.2b.
"They are our findings. Thank you to my fellow board members and thank you for the AFL staff for putting this together in quite difficult circs."

Won’t matter
They will lose the next two and miss out anyway
And this will make that even more enjoyable
The biggest cheats in AFL/VFL history this mob
Make Essendon look like innocent choir boys
-
woldnt be too sure about that. This kind of crap will have them up and about. I have them down for 1 win out of the next 2 now.
Can the AFL appeal? Not that they would the cheats just asking if they can on a Friday.
Biggest joke of the year is that Pickett copped a week.

Yep
How Pickett appeal can fail and him cop a week, but then Cripps gets off is just astounding
-
AFL appealed Houli's suspension term and extended it.
I hope they appeal this. There was zero duty of care by Cripps and Ah Chee got hurt. No brainer!

They appealed Bachar, and it was held on a Thursday night
afl as you know Andy are pathetic and i suspect nothing will be done about this, as they will never let this drag on over the weekend.
I also suspect we will hear nothing from that imbecile scott, that gives rise to this stupid decision on his watch.

They can't appeal is my understanding
Last nights hearing was the last avenue of appeal under the current rules.
Appeal board sits above the tribunal.
Houli was rubbed out by the tribunal and then the AFL appealed to the Appeals Board
Cripps was rubbed out by the tribunal and they appealed to the Appeals Board which was heard last night
No where else to go
Just a staggering decision
But sums up the AFL 2022 in a nutshell if we are being honest
-
I thought they could have appealed however have today "accepted the decision" and will not appeal.
either way its total garbage.

“I think the game’s never been more lost than what it is now – no one knows what dissent is, no one knows what holding the ball is, no one knows what protecting the head is anymore, no one knows what’s a fair contest and what isn’t, we’ve got no idea on basics of the game that we’ve always had a clear understanding of.

Crouch late head high bump on Gardiner.
Should be rubbed out for a couple of weeks for that but he'll probably get off on appeal on a legal technicality ::).

Brisbane 48-26 up at HT which is good for us but the Lions are keeping the Saints in it with their misses in front of goal.
-
Brisbane are one mentally soft side. Once the game isn't on their terms that crack like an egg.
-
LOL. Can I claim reverse psychology?! :laugh:
Still would be happy to play the Lions in a final as in the end it was a battle between which team tonight would choke the least. Saints had all the play in that last quarter but 7 straight behinds (thanks mainly to Max King) blew it.
Anyway, a great result for us! :thumbsup

Not happy campers on the Saints forum lol.
Same old Aints, year after year. (http://twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f971.svg)
When a North reject is your best player then you've got problems.
took my nephew to his first footy game. he's a soccer player but moved to uni to study. he actually enjoyed the game (i guess it was exhilarating to someone grown up on a league atmosphere) and now knows exactly what's ahead if he becomes a saints supporter. so all in all a pass i guess. but after kings third miss he turned to me and said - that bloke's naff. need to get him off. i told him that there is our superstar. our ticket to the big time. so now he absolutely knows what's ahead. more pain. forever.
Interesting that the Guys on Fox Footy said the gameplan St Kilda plays has been left behind, Gary Lyon said, "i hope that has been a learning for them tonight".
That is interesting but we know it
Brett still playing run n gun footy
Richmond style except we are no Richmond
Anyway what a terrible terrible second half of the year and we extend the coach???
I still can’t believe that
Reward mediocrity only at the Aints.
And should have won it and remained in the fight for finals....but no we , as usual, settle for at least we had a crack.
We're just experts at consolations
Sept - Jan the best time of the year for the Saints supporter. So much hope.

Biggest joke of the year is that Pickett copped a week.
Yep.
By the way, I found this on twitter: Ziebell copped 6 weeks back in 2012 (appealed down to 4 weeks) for doing exactly the same thing Cripps did. Carlton fans were outraged back then when one of their own was on the receiving end ::).
https://twitter.com/RoosGotNxt/status/1557902071503826944
But 10 years later the AFL claims it wants to protect the head while letting Cripps off scot free :thumbsdown.

Us winning a game
Dogs winning two
Blues losing two
That would be Christmas early
Dogs snuck in for their part
Now need the dees to fire up
-
Dees playing crap and blues are out to play.
Knew this Cripps decision would pump them up.
-
Melbourne are gettable now because they are just lazily bombing it high and long into their inside F50 so it's easier to defend against. Too many Dees have become selfish hogs. It started with Fritsch burning teammates glory hunting goals midway through the year when they were 10-0 and it's now gone through most of their side. Oliver has gone back to his old bad habits of just trying to boot the bladder out of the ball and shanking his kicks.
-
In the Derby, Serong gave away a 150m penalty. Yep that's not a misprint. 150 metres! :o

YES
Doesn’t matter just hate blooz

Couldn't stop laughing when Kosi Pickett kicked the winner with 13 seconds to go. Couldn't script a Carlton choke any better :rollin.
Waits for the media to go through the last 2 mins of Blue brainfades. 3-on-1 contest and Young misses the mark and cops a falcon; missed kick that didn't get to Saad on the full so he couldn't mark it and milk the clock; Melksham allowed to mark that against 3 taller defenders; fumbled mark that led to Pickett's winner. So many highlights of schadenfeude :lol.
ps. Kosi kicking the winner also karma's nod to Marlion being unfairly rubbed out while Cripps got off.

It's not that Pies are playing well. They won't last long in the finals if they play like this. It's the pressure of a big game getting to both sides but mainly Carlton so far. Summed up by Curnow not making the distance from 25 out :scared lol.

Hopefully, this means the Pies bubble has burst given we play them if they lose.

Up by 3 goals

This is actually true. An order was put into CUB back when Carlton were 10-4 for a commemorative finals beer can to be produced for the Blues .... Oops! :rollin
-
Ahh yes, the Carlton beer. Its all pop & fizz at the opening, it shows some promise until the ghastly after-taste hits you during the last quarter. By the end its as flat as a tack so you pour the rest down the sink & toss the crushed can into the recycle bin.
So, its exactly like the football club then! :lol :cheers

Much more finals-like game at the MCG tonight. Solid defenses.
-
I hope the offensive is great brigade are watching the first 45 mins of tonight’s game.
Our game plan is what loses in September
-
Either of these two sides would have destroyed us next week if we got through.
-
We lose because our midfield is ordinary at stoppages now thanks to age/retirements and a lack of depth. We rely too much on Prestia and Cotch which is why we are chasing Taranto. We give up too many soft goals from stoppages and centre clearances. The rest of our game/system is pretty sound. Would also help if we didn't make so many Auskick brainfades especially in the last 5 minutes of tight games :banghead.
Anyway on tonight's game: Haven't seen the Dees make so many basic skill errors since they came good as tonight. Their ball movement and forward line has been average since the middle of the year and it's on display again tonight. The Swans have a young core that have pace and skill to burn so they play counterattack footy: flood back then hit fast on the counter. Helps to have an academy that gifts you top young players on the cheap.
-
Please Mt. That’s your opinion and your opinion IMv is wrong. You didn’t mention pressure once, and in a final that’s crucial if you are failing in other areas.
45 tackles in the whole game.
Tonight’s teams. 15 mins into the third have already reached that. I haven’t even factored in the pressure acts.
-
Don't want to win it (in order): Geelong, Melbourne, Collingwood, Brisbane
Won't win it: Fremantle, Bulldogs
So by a process of elimination I want Sydney to win it and break Melbourne and Geelong hearts in the process. I quite like Longmire actually. Great coach. Usually I can't stand Sydney and all the freebies they get, but the others simply can't be allowed to win it, or won't.
-
Swans take care of the Dees to go straight through to the Prelim
Makes last night's loss all the more frustrating
How I would have loved the opportunity to take those smug, arrogant Dees out of the finals race
-
82 tackles in a winning final. Nearly double ours. Wow who would have thought that tackling wins in finals more than not.
Seriously some of you blokes, even my daughter gets it.

Its kind of sad that what you say is true. I don't want Geelong to win it, or Melbourne & especially not Gollywood or Brisbane either! That only leaves one team - the Sydney Swines (who I utterly hate, but by a fraction less than the rest ...)
Oh maaaan ... now I need a shower ... :-\

We lost to Sydney and Geelong this year despite being +16 and +8 respectively in tackles. Sure Frankie I agree we need to do better in most games as far as tackling but IMV that's more to do with our tackling technique than gamestyle. IMV we are ordinary tacklers. We don't pin the arm, watch the hips, etc. Another category to file under failing to do the fundamentals of the game :thumbsdown.
It's hard to apply pressure when Nank kept tapping the ball down Neale's throat gifting Brisbane 5 goals from centre clearances under the 6-6-6 rule :banghead. It's also hard to apply pressure when we continually make unforced basic skill errors under no physical pressure that open us right up defensively on the turnover :banghead. Then there's the U10s brainfades that also gift the opposition goals. Unforgivable for not one of 3 senior Tigers to thump the ball high into row Z for a rushed behind with a minute to go. Instead our Keystone Cops 'effort' makes that goofball Daniher who had done bugger all up until then their hero. What a shambles! :banghead
If we did the basics of the game at near enough AFL standard this year and not sub-Auskick level, we'd be on a 17 game winning streak and into a Prelim right now. Ticks me off how amateurish we've become at the basics. We lose because we're simple not good enough and are substandard even under no pressure :banghead.
Not having a go at you Frankie. Feel free to disagree. I'm just still peeved about Thursday night :banghead.

Poor putty cats again kicking just one goal in the first quarter of a Qualifying Final. Are they going to choke again in finals? :whistle
Hate Collingwood and Ginnivan overplayed for the free by being a shooting star meme. However, if this happened against us the free would've been paid (a la Dangerfield in the 2019 Prelim ::)).
https://twitter.com/7AFL/status/1565959280213245952
-
50 tackles each. Laughable the stupidity of us to play any different to this.
Tell you this if we actually applied pressure up the ground that ball wouldn’t have even been on our goal line.
-
Fantastic game. Glad cats won
-
Pies better chasing than holding a lead.
Atkins with 12 possies (7 contested) massive in the guts for the Cats in the last quarter. Stood up when they need him. The type we need in our midfield with the 6-6-6 rule so we don't gift the opposition 5 soft goals from centre clearances and almost half their score all up from stoppages ::). Take out Prestia and we have a bottom 4 midfield that gets smashed.
-
In hindsight it seems it would've been better if we finished 8th. Freo haven't turned up to play. Dogs up 35-1 at 1/4 time. Usually one final is a blowout.
-
Talk about a momentum shift in the last 10 minutes before HT :o. Some typical WA home town umpiring helped them.
Amiss was taken the pick before Gibcus. There was talk who we were going to choose if both were still on the board at our first pick. IIRC, in the end Freo took Amiss at pick 8 thinking we'd take Gibcus at pick 9 so Erasmus would be available for them at pick 10.
-
Another massive effort from a ballwinning clearance machine wins his team a final. Serong 33 possies (16 contested) and 10 clearances for Freo. With the new rules you need ballwinning mids at stoppages. Until we fix our midfield and our set up at stoppages (protecting the defensive side of the stoppage) we won't be serious contenders again.
-
Enjoy your ARC overturned goal, Lions. Still doesn't make up for last week as tonight was clearly touched before the whole ball crossed the line. Amazing what happens when you have cameras in the right place that can clearly show what occurred ::).
Melbourne's inaccuracy has kept the Lions in the game so far.
-
Geez I wish we had Baker's advantage call last week recalled to the original free 10 seconds after the event like Brisbane did just before with McCluggage.
-
Can't help but feel we totally stuffed ourselves last week. Melbourne aren't the side from last year.
-
So much for a Melbourne dynasty….what a team of losers
And good to see the goal umpires decision be upheld due to insufficient evidence, obviously Cameron’s celebration decided the matter

As per normal when things start to fall apart for them and the pressure gets applied the finger pointing starts and they choke.
May, Lever, Gawn leading the way :lol
-
Glad it was Melbourne too that Brisbane broke their losing streak at the 'G against and not us.
The Dees lost for the same reasons their second half of the year was ordinary. Their midfield-forward ball movement and entries are poor. That's why their scoring has dried up. They peaked too early in the season like we did in 2018 and didn't enter the finals with strong form. Now they have paid for it.

Brisbane midfielder Jarrod Berry is free to play Friday night’s Preliminary Final against Geelong following Tuesday night’s AFL Tribunal hearing.
Berry was handed a one-game suspension for making “unreasonable or unnecessary contact to the eye region” of Melbourne’s Clayton Oliver during last week’s semi-final.
The MRO graded the incident as intentional conduct, low impact and high contact, with Berry arguing that conduct was careless.
After a marathon tribunal case which began after 5pm AEST and lasted until past 8pm, the important Lions midfielder ultimately had his charge dropped by the tribunal.
The Lions called on evidence from AFL great Luke Hodge and a neurosurgeon as part of their defence of Berry.

Sadly, I don't see it happening (would if we were playing them tonight like we should've been :banghead), but I would laugh my head off if the Cats choke again in a Prelim.

No such thing as HTB against Geelong ::) whereas they are gifted two goals.
-
Game would be over already if Hawkins didn't have a massive case of the yips.
Geelong will probably win anyway but Fagan making a rookie coach mistake not equally numbers forward of the ball and allowing Stewart or Kolodjashnij to be the free spare in the Geelong defence.
-
What a shocking game.
Lions are hopeless. Lucky to beat us and lucky to cop a beaten up dees outfit.
Let’s hope Swans deliver the goods tomorrow.
-
Yep, we would've given a contest at least tonight. Only got ourselves to blame.
If the Swans don't get up tomorrow, I don't know if I could watch a Cats-Pies GF :chuck.

It looked from the vision they showed it was a point to Sydney but Ch 7 claiming they were told it was another ARC decision based on "other vision we didn't see" ::).
26-zip Swans :pray.
-
Not saying I think Maynard should be rubbed out but if the MRO was consistent (yeah right MT) then if Marlion copped a week for a shepherd in play then Maynard shouldn't play next week for that bump off the ball even if the Pies get through.
Anyway, Swans up 39-18 at QT.
-
This is a shootout like our Elim Final. Winning the contests and clearances at stoppages determines the game.
The two 50s were harsh (likes the ones we usually cop ::) ) but Pies fans can't complain about frees. They've had more (14-10) despite being 5 goals down. The Swans should be further in front but have missed/wasted a number of chances.
-
Swans making dumb basic mistakes (reminds me of us this year :P). Pies have had the better of it since HT :help.
-
Pies lose by a point :rollin.
-
How good was that?
stuff em
Now we can enjoy the GF…and hope swans win
-
Absolutely, Frankie. Go Swannies!
Got to love the irony of Collingwood losing two finals by under a kick. Not so lucky :yep :lol :rollin :tvhappy :biglaugh :jump.
The Swans though can't play like they did after half-time tonight next week. Sydney needs to play more like they did against Melbourne if they want to beat Geelong. Also (and I can't believe I'm saying this), they need Sam Reid to be okay. He's been really good for them as a 2nd ruck and swingman this year and structurally they missed him badly after he went off early 3rd qtr.
-
Hilarious :rollin
-
I hate both sides but to watch Collingwood lose by 1 point is just magic. Cheers Tiger army!! 🤣🤣
Umpiring was terrible and in favour of the Swans but Collingwood have no rights to complain after their umpire gifted run. Karma.

Perhaps it was Andy, but the free kick differential over the years shows how much those blokes have been kissed on the dick.
That game also shows that the tagged role is not dead. Luke Parker destroyed de goey. Someone like me hat would have been handy again Neale.

Dom Sheed would've kicked that, Hawkins. Hi Pie fans! :snidegrin

They need to do something about this rule where 'you dragged it in' but the ball is being held to your toenail to win a HTB. Ridiculous anti-footy.
-
Swans haven't settled. Making basic mistakes both with the ball and without. Gifting Hawkins two goals from a forward stoppage when you know he is going to grab it out of the ruck.
Edit: Swans get one back. They needed that. Hopefully that settles them.

This looks over already :chuck.

The HT 'show' was pretty awful until then. Were they from one of those reality-TV singing shows? Most of them struggled to hit the right notes :P.
Yeah that first band was dog crap. Really poor choice of first song for a mob that can't hit any of those big high notes.

Would have been better if Pies had made it. I can't remember Sydney ever capitulating like this. Hopefully we don't need to hear about their superior 'bloods' culture for a while after this.
Honestly we'd have put up a much better fight.
Losing to the Lions was bloody poor of us.
-
Lol, cats reverting to selfish footy now. The race for the Norm is on.

Yep, this finals series and flag were for the taking. Even more so in hindsight. Only got ourselves to blame, sadly. Ignoring the ARC, we threw away too many close games including the Elim through dumb schoolboy errors on-field and we had way too many soft-tissue injuries due to whatever we were doing off-field with our strength and conditioning.
IF we had got past Brisbane, we would've faced Melbourne who were wobbly and went out in straight sets. We would've then faced Geelong who we at least would've been competitive against as their bogey side in finals (surprise surprise they are going to win flag by avoiding playing us). Get past the Prelim and we would've got the Swans in the Granny suffering stage-fright. All up a missed opportunity :(.

Issac Smith definitely wants that Norm Smith.

Certainly is

Positives:
We beat GWS by more.
Richmond 13 flags to Geelong's 10.
Bring on the trade/draft period and 2023!

Isaac Smith got the Norm. He certainly wanted it lol.
By the way, interesting reactions and comments post-game from Geelong players. More signs of relief and tears that they finally got there. Also Dangerfield saying this is what it means to be "content". I could be eating my words next year but I wouldn't be surprised if the Cats finally drop off now all their veterans have finally won the flag they've been chasing. That desperate hunger out of fear of missing out before retiring won't be there next year.

You read my mind. Was thinking the same thing. Plus if Selwood and Hawkins go they lose a ton of leadership.

A couple of curious quirky stats:
Isaac Smith is the oldest player to win a Norm Smith medal.
62 days older than Kevin Bartlett in 1980

Congratulations to Rhys Stanley who becomes the 22nd ex-St Kilda player to win a VFL/AFL premiership, more than the 20 that have won a flag with the Saints.

Agree, WP. Very classy.
Credit to Joel Selwood too spending time with the Auskick kids and having a group photo with them.
On the other hand, Stewart fresh aired the kid giving him his medal. But he's a "good bloke"TM apparently ::).

Chris Scott: “How's good footy at the G!”

Funny how Chris Scott and Geelong have suddenly no problem playing finals at the 'G when they aren't playing us and they win :whistle.

Yep, and for good measure knocked the kid's cap off and just walks off
Also, notice Smith proudly showed off his Norm Smith when he went up for his premiership medal.
Will always remember Dusty not doing that, team first for Dusty not individual honours

Few points. Thank god for Robbie and especially Delta as that was the worst GF I’ve ever been to, or even watched for that matter.
Isaac thanks for my $10 bet on your norm smith win that paid for my day. He was worse watching live as I followed his cheap possys all day such as the boring game that was on display.. He reminded me of Tom Mitchell just trying to accumulate desperate cheap possys. That said maybe it was all about winning for a recent death in his family, which I read today.
Selwood really impressed me, and perhaps some got the guy wrong, me included. Aside from his ginnivan cheating antics in his career which I hated. There is no doubt he has been a great captain, and yesterday was all class especially with the dragging the kid from over the fence after the siren. Have a look if you didn’t see it.
I can’t believe how little the players interacted with the fans at the end, especially the older guys. Smith or Danger didn’t come near the fence at the end from what I saw anyway.
Sign of the times, or they are just just a bunch of softies. I’d say latter. Our players did the exact opposite as did hawks.
Lastly, I have no doubt we would have run then to the end, and for that matter pies too. Swans weren’t ready and I felt it was going to be a blow out during the week. No Reid leaving buddy exposed on his own, with Henry doing what heeney can do which can be nothing. No chance.

Smith's first half was sensational. First quarter especially.
After that they were just lining up for cheap ball and goals. Don't blame them. But when the game was there to be won Smith, Selwood, Hawkins, Danger, Blicavs etc were excellent.
Swans what a joke dishing up that crap. Reid a ridiculous decision to play. Buddy is finito. McCartin boys exposed. Pee weak

At 3/4 time there was a TV prompted discussion about who will win the Norm Smith. The TV flashed up a graphic of the highest possession winners with Isaac Smith clearly out in front. Mustering up my most cynical possible tone I tipped Isaac Smith, purely on the number of possessions & nothing else. He spent most of the game literally jogging around avoiding any contact & was always running past team mates looking for a charity handball.
As the presentation begins I was pretty sure Selwood would win it, or maybe Clangerfield, really they were both pretty influential (against witch-hats), I had Porkins as a reserve just in case.
Sure enough, first up is the Norm Smith and would you believe it? The greatest downhill skier of all time gets the medal ... I was already pretty flat, that finished me off. I watched a few minutes of the individual medal presentations, after sniper Stewart side swiped the poor kid giving him his medal I had had enough. Flicked it off right there ...
Worst grand final for many years ... worst Norm Smith winner ever (I think Dusty's 3 medals have just been de-valued thanks to that one awful decision) ...
On the plus-side - I now loath Geelong more than ever & have very little respect for the Swines too! Can't wait to play either of them. :santa

Geelong with yellow and black premiers caps :huh3
