I was happy to see Collingwood win but perversely I don't think it is all good.
What I mean is it could be the first step to:
1. Shaw saving his job
2. Us winning nine or ten games, and
3. The pies setting themselves up for a similar, non-productive season, next year.
We could end up as high as tenth on the ladder with mediocre draft picks. Just as I was prepared for a poor season for the good of the future, the team shows some heart.
The good news is that some of the young players are getting a genuine go. Maybe Shaw has finally realised that sitting on the bench does not count as gaining experience.
Maybe I shouldn't worry about next year and simply enjoy the wins when we get them. However I just cannot help but worry the future promises more of the same(ie Tony Shaw and No Finals).
Bugger it........Go Pies!!
