You are spot on. In a season of twists and turns, those 2 points will come in handy.
AFL News: North OF Melbourne? McGuire's bold idea to rejuvenate Roos, Scott slams sub rule after Anzac Day drama
38 scoring shots to 21 against the supposedly elite midfield of the competition. The capacity of the Pies to overturn a 31 point deficit and saunter home against a possible contender is nothing less than extraordinary. It has been a while since Collingwood won a game in this manner. The effort of DeGoey will raise the spirits of Pie fans.
Footy Fix: The Pies might have embarrassed Port... but they're still not back to their best. Yet
It’s almost mandatory for journalists to call for Bevo’s head when the Bulldogs have a bad game – Caroline Wilson is probably the worst for this. The guy is a decent coach and journalists deliberately overstate the quality of the list to make Bevo look worse than he is. Ugle-Hagan is a case in point. An Age journalist spoke of him as a superstar- well if he is a superstar then Nick Daicos should be inducted into the Hall of Fame next week. The Bulldogs have a lot of potential but they are two years away from being a an outstanding team. I hope Bevo – who is their greatest ever coach – gets to take that journey.
Footy Fix: The Saints were ten times as rubbish as the Dogs were last week - and it's worth working out why
There is a culture of fear among women in Australia. I am hearing stories of women being too scared to go out in the dark; or being fearful of going on dates. Toxic masculinity is rank in Australia and Damien Barrett saying we shouldn’t set ourselves up to ‘judge’ footballers’ characters is part of the cultural problem in this country.
AFL News: Scott hits out at 'offensive' Tribunal call to clear Cameron, Pies to swoop on star Dog?
Not sure that I can feel overly great about Cousins given the endemic surrounding violence against women. AFL football stars seem to get an easy ride regarding this issue.

The question for me is how did they not have a 5 goal lead at half time? They absolutely dominated the second quarter and had nothing to show for it. The forward structure is not delivering.

Takes the ball to the line and positions himself well when we are in attack. Those are the things that impressed me.

Ridiculous comment. If the AFL is facilitating a culture of illicit drug use, then it should be held to account. I am amazed that you wouldn’t think this is a serious public issue. We are not talking about a few players on the blow; we are talking about abiut AFL aiding and abetting illegal activity. They don’t get a hall pass because some folks barrack for the team.

Different funding? Are they not both subject to government spending limits on capital works? And in terms of need, I think a new stadium is pretty low down on peoples’ list.
The AFL holding Tasmania to ransom with stadium political football is an utter disgrace
Yes, it creates a better spectacle for the gambling industry which both the AFL and the NRL are hooked on. I dare say the economic benefits of housing or a new hospital would deliver a far greater long term return on investment.

The forwards need to be ready to clean out the ruck. I think someone like Paisami can mess up the opposition D.
Five things we learned: Schmidt's selection headache, Carter's a No.12 wildcard, and $1m Thor must step up
I was impressed my Paisami’s ability to push through with post contact metres. Every time he was tackled, he seemed to gain a few metres on the tacklers.

One feels that Pendlebury has already ‘retired’ in his own mind – hard to understand why an AFL footballer would be coaching at Haileybury College (as reported) if he was not thinking his own career is at an end?
Six Points: Papley's hypocrisy, Wright's Tribunal verdict the wrong call, and why are we retiring Pendlebury?
I use ‘needs to pipe down’ as a turn of phrase or a figure of speech. I am simply highlighting Papley’s hypocrisy. He doesn’t ‘need’ to do anything. The guy is an outstanding football player.
'Going to have a nice holiday': Papley whacks Don's Swan bump, blasts Bombers' 'facade' in explosive interview
Papley is full of nonsense. Swans often target players off the ball – look how they constantly harassed Gawn when they played Melbourne. He needs to pipe down.

I think after two years of sustained success, a fall down the ladder is not unexpected. We have been spoilt by exceptional teams in the last few decades, but winning back to back is very difficult. Even as a supporter, I have lost the hunger that I had last year so I suspect the players are no different. You are right about Murphy. Collingwood cannot afford for Moore to go searching for the ball when they lack a defender of the calibre of Murphy to ‘mop up’ behind him. I might also add that I am less worried about Sidebottom and Pendlebury than I am about the fall off in form from Jack Crisp and Jordan DeGoey. Daicos needs time to develop in the centre and should be persisted with in light of Pendlebury’s imminent retirement.
Footy Fix: Fly's Pies have officially been worked out - but that's just the start of their problems
Awful tonight as well.
Footy Fix: Don't panic just yet, Pies fans... but there's now a blueprint to bring the premiers down
Pendlebury and Sidebottom weren’t the problem.

Pies really struggled in defence but the swans were allowed to bring it in too easily. Felt that there was little pressure from the forwards. Johnson will go back to the twos and the Pies will start McCrae. Charlie Dean looked out of his league. Expect Noble and Frampton to come back in. Am glad to see people writing off the Pies – it’s just the thing they need to get their hunger back.

Surprised he never got a look in in the England team – which by the way defeated the Irish! So Ireland can be beaten, afterall 😂
'Over the moon': Reds deny Chiefs for 23 PHASES to win 'titanic' trans-Tasman clash as Kiss' revolution continues
The Reds were great at the breakdown. They made it difficult for the Chiefs to get quick ball. Defence was very good. Great scrambling and good discipline. Still early in the season but the signs are good.

Mine did. Compromised too much. Allowed workers to fall behind when they should have been agitating. All the while, CEO and management salaries rose exponentially and absurdly rewarded even during times of poor growth etc

Kane seems a diminished figure playing in the German league. Sure, he is scoring goals but he has dropped out of the conversation. Might he go back to the Spurs?

Think 12 might be enough this year. A very even comp especially with West Coast no longer easy beats.
