Not our greatest win but there is always a silver lining if you look hard enough ..... Grundy long term prospect. May as well leave him in for the rest of the year no matter who's available. Get the game time into him. Pies win, that's gotta be a good thing. _________________ Bob Rose....the measuring stick of humanity |

An important win to help secure a finals berth, but the test is the next three weeks. Repeat today's effort and it wont be pretty. Nothing today suggested we're a threat to win / pinch a flag in 2013. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

"If you're all man enough, you'll take this on the chin and lower your head:
Nicksters who have here today, and more frequently also in recent weeks, been disparaging the Pies game efforts this season need to have a good hard look at themselves.
What particular right do you believe you have to expect constant success from our boys? They are a top group of skilful performers with a support structure second to none. But this year other teams have stretched their necks in the last furlong or so and have slipped past the black and white silks. It’s not that we have been nobbled or are lacking in capability, it’s just that the other runners have gone up a class.
Take into account the basic facts that we cannot win all the time nor can continuing domination be expected – look at the many dark periods our boys have suffered over the years. Instead of reaching for the knives and spitting the clueless froth in anger, take a pause and realise that you can still be proud of our lads, despite appearances.
Are you mice or men?"
Troppo then wrote
"Big T, those of us who have been black and white through and through over the many years, don't allow ourselves to get caught up in the venal internal politics of the club, but stand foursquare beside and behind the boys that have to bleed for their team. Week in and week out.
Welded-on supporters pay no regard to the poncing paranoia of the corporate troglodytes who fancy that they are the leaders of this club.
We are for the boys that fight on the turf for us and our proud heritage.
Collateral damage is so sad and unacceptable, but when knocking this behaviour don't ever transfer your angst to the playing rosta."
Magirl's comment
Two great posts by Troppo in the game day thread. Well said. When you have followed the pies for 53 years you learn this. Especially if you were born in 1960. Premierships are a joy, but do not come constantly. You really need to savour them when they come. Next year was like a broken record in our home at the end of each season. Being a supporter Is about supporting the team through the hard time as well as the good times. Look for constructive ways to get behind them.
So well said Troppo _________________ Side by Side

Leading by 2 points at 3 quarter time.
Won by 40.
Last 10 shots on goal: Pies 5.3 to 2 points.
Our experience won the day but a lot to like about the Giants' effort.
Pleased with Grundy's game. Will only get better. _________________ Donny.
