Disappointing game for the Pies.

Final score Port Melb 9.3.57 defeated Pies 2.8.20

https://www.afl.com.au/news/896834/revi ... lw-round-2

"Port did most of its damage off half-back, winning easily despite losing clearances 37-21, trailing the inside-50 count 41-22 and having 19 fewer disposals"

Jess Bates was the Pies best with 31 possessions, nine tackles, 11 clearances and seven inside-50s.

Casey Fields is one of the worst places to play on a wet & windy day and the Demons can be a high scoring team. Need to make the most of our shots on goal but expect a Demons win.

Disapointing game for the Pies today.

Bombers 4.7.31 defeated Pies 2.3.15

Goals: Tweddle-O'Donnell, Morris

Top disposals: Jess Bates 27, Liz Jackson 21, Matilda Zander & Eleri Morris 19.

Pies were outrun and outworked at ground level for most of the game.
TBH the final margin should have been larger and flattered the Pies.

Won the centre clearances but inside 50s were a whopping 47 to 12 in favour of the Bombers. The Pies defence were under siege for large parts of the game but were able to repel the Bombers inside 50s but the Pies couldn't capitalise on their work, with poor delivery and decisions making it easy for the Bombers to rebound at half forward.

Jess Bates (again), Liz Jackson & Eleri Morris were the best over the four quarters.
