Notes from the game: 2016 Round 12 Melbourne

More tripe. The season is over: finals are out of the question; I've lost my will to live let alone to watch another game this year.

Further, I can't really see anything changing in the next two or three years. Time to find a second team.

Notes from the game: 2016 Round 11 Port Adelaide

The Pies serve up tripe.

Notes from the game: 2016 Round 10 Bulldogs

Collingwood fights well for three quarters before running out of soldiers.

Notes from the game: 2016 Round 9 Geelong

The Pies play superbly against the flag favourite to record a significant win.

Notes from the game: 2016 Round 8 Brisbane

A big win by the Pies raises several questions.

Notes from the game: 2016 Round 7 Carlton

The Pies, playing erratic and inconsistent football, lose to their arch-enemy.

Notes from the game: 2016 Round 6 West Coast Eagles

The Pies cop a shellacking but still manage to show something.
