Pies 14 pts with 5mins to go. Should be home you'd think considering how well drilled they are.

Pies way too good at the end there. Adelaide had their chances earlier in the game though, just lost it at crucial times.

Collingwood should comfortably finish third now, hard to say who will get fourth, none of the candidates really stand out.

Sick of tipping outsiders and it being a draw.

Can't believe they couldn't just hold onto it for 30 seconds.

Winner of Dogs/Lions IMO. Crows really needed that win to keep in touch, and will struggle now with the Lions having the draw and the Dogs with a good %.

If it's Brisbane who win next week, then yeah they will probably finish fourth. If they lose though, and the Dogs lose to Geelong and Collingwood in the last two weeks, anything could happen really. Adelaide have the easiest run home so if the other results fall that way, I can see them finishing fourth. It could even be Carlton if they beat Adelaide in round 22.

Was mostly a horrible match to watch tonight - the defensive pressure from both sides and the numbers back made for a pretty ugly affair.

That said, twas a pleasure watching Didak esp. and Swan do their stuff. Wood played his best match to date, and it was great watching a match where we won the ruck contest. Think giving him the responsibility and workload as sole ruckman has made him as an AFL ruck. Nice seeing Anthony back in some form and Dawes back in the team and doing well.

Would Leigh Brown be the best recycled signing of the season? Probably Farren Ray I guess, but he's been a very solid addition to the team and done a job most weeks.

Farren Ray and Rhyce Shaw are better signings than Leigh Brown.

^ Did you hear what Demtriou said about Leigh Brown in regards to tanking? Was harsh lol.

yeah, been great seeing Rhyce do well in Sydney.

Missed the Demtriou comment. Presume it was as sensible and accurate as all of his comments re the tanking issue.

Basically was "Collingwood played Leigh Brown on Jonathan Brown. You don't here anyone say they were tanking"

I'm sure Leigh Brown appreciated that lol.

Leigh Browns had a couple of good games, but he's spent most of the year being absolutely lambasted by most Collingwood fans and being terrible in Finals is where he really made his name.

what a pathetic comment. Leigh did as good a job as anyone in quelling Johnno in recent weeks. When Demetriou has got to the stage of bagging out individual players rather than admit there might be a probelm with the incentives teams have to lose, he's completely lost the plot.

Disagree. He's been solid and merited his spot in the team most of the year. You, and the other North fans who cacked themselves when he was picked up have got egg on your face.

Great win by Collingwood. Looks like they'll play Geelong in the first week of September. On current form, the Pies would have to be favourites. Much can happen in four weeks though, I guess.

Haven't picked a winner in 5 matches this round :(
good luck picking a draw :p surprised people didn't pick Collingwood though, Malthouse always outcoaches Niel Criag and they always play well in SA.
