In a season defining contest, we failed to get the four points, going down to Geelong to suffer our third straight loss, and make our quest for a finals berth, let alone a chance to go back to back, incredibly difficult.

Join Nicholas Sacco, Luke Humphries and Jack Dugan, as we have some frank discussions about what we are struggling to see from our premiership Pies, and work out from the fans if there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

It was miraculous in every sense of the word yesterday at Marvel, finding ourselves 54 points down in the third quarter and not looking anything like the side that lifted the cup last year, we went on the charge and managed to escape with a famous one-point victory to add to our many comeback victories over the last two and a half years.

Join Nicholas Sacco, Jack Dugan and Luke Humphries we catch our breathes and try to unpack what the hell happened on Sunday, get the thoughts of our loyal Pies Nation army and do our usual VFL/VFLW and Guess the Crowd segments before we look forward to the bye.

It was a game we all honestly thought we had won and done with eight minutes remaining before the Free surge forced both sides to share the points on Friday night, and while it was a proud effort with an undermanned side, the question has to be asked, did we blow a key chance for more points?

Join Nicholas Sacco, Luke Humphries, Marcus Callahan and Jack Dugan as we see what went right and what went wrong with plenty of controversy in between and grab your emotion filled thoughts on AskPiesNation.
