Clayton Oliver ended the game with a VERY juicy stats sheet and the Neale Daniher medal for best on ground. Cue a wild celebration and the ‘USA’ chants from Pies fans. The Pies were matching the Dees at clearance and thwarted ample Melbourne attacking forays due to shrewd use of a loose Collingwood defender. And did McRae’s troops stand up, booting nine goals to three in the second half to run out 26-point winners. If you can compete as a group in there, do you worry about Oliver?” dual premiership Kangaroo David King told Fox Footy at half-time. “I think the Pies have taken Melbourne’s game off them. But again the Magpies would not be denied. But the Dees kicked just three goals in the second half as the Dees piled on nine to win the game. “There’s a time and a place for everything but Darcy Moore, that wasn’t the time for that kick,” Watson said. “It was a really risky kick he was trying to take through the corridor.” And it was Ginnivan who finally got the breakthrough for the Pies, with a brilliant snap that just had enough on it to carry the goal line. Jack Viney got the Dees off to the best possible start in the third with a clever snap to push the lead out to double digits.

Harry Petty was also forced off following a crunching collision with Jamie Elliott, but returned in the last quarter after passing a concussion test. Mason Cox had two chances late in the first half, but pulled both set shots to the near side in a nearly day for the 211cm ruckman-forward.

The crescendo of Round 13 was worth the wait, with the Pies knocking over the Dees in a monster win at the MCG. HB has The Mongrel Loves...

If he gloves that and goals, the Dees have two in a row in rapid succession, and momentum is a funny thing in footy. Did you get the feeling that the Pies almost kicked themselves out of it in the first quarter? The stakes were a bit lower in this one, obviously, but with a huge crowd in attendance, Cox once again stepped up to put his stamp on proceedings. With Max Gawn forced off the ground on a couple of occasions through the third quarter, Cox came to life, clunking big marks in defensive fifty and showing some excellent dexterity at ground level. Whilst the Dees can and will be able to cover him, games like this indicate that the cover will only be partial. The Dees were facing a black and white tsunami in the third quarter. This is not the first time this has occurred in 2022, and the Dees will need to start finding ways to free him up at the contest. If the ball is in his hands, or loose on the deck, Oliver fights and scraps to get a handball out to create for teammates. In the first half of this one, Oliver was everywhere, collecting contested touches like he doesn’t need to give it a second thought. Mihocek dragged in four of them in this one, giving the Pies space to get around, over, and through the vaunted Melbourne web of pressure. And in Beau McCreery, the Pies genuinely have someone that relished the challenge. This game delivered on a number of levels, and as such, I’ll be addressing the parts I loved most.
