A win for the ages - they came and jumped us, but we showed what we are building towards. We are a damn fine fopotball side, very proud of the boys. Floreat pica !

Thats enough celebration now we gotta get right to ruin the blues 150! The Scum haven't played a quarter this year and are saving it for us. I don't care if we lose to the bye in two weeks we have to peak for friday night!!!

Great win by the guys....played on their own terms from 1/4 time,BUT should have done the same thing to Bummers as they did to Kangas come out with all guns blazing and should have had it won by 1/4 time,otherwise a GREAT win.
Also will someone put a sock into McIvanneys mouth...permanently

You made my weekend PIES .. you made my weekend.

Great result after the gloomy picture of Q1 .. could not expect more from the guys after that.

Swanny back to form is a sight to behold.

Do I luv Frost .. absolute solid rock at the back and with the likes of Maxy at his best and Tooves now back to pace we're looking good in defence.

Looking good Bucks

Wow oh wowwee! I'm a believer. Bucks is safe. Swan can win the Brownlow again. Go Pies! Now for Carlton. Laughing

P.S. Channel Seven should hang their heads in shame. Immediately after the presentation they cut away from the game to go to some inane game show. No Collingwood song. That on top of their pathetic fuzzy images and hatred for Collingwood commentary. The sooner Nine wins the footy rights back the better for everyone.

Phew,what a relief.Very gutsy win in the end after being 37 points down in the second quarter.I feel we still need a few more runners like Seedsman,Williams and Sinclair,as their run really troubled us in the last quarter.

You wont win many games of football giving away that kind of start but we did today and it was a fantastic effort by the boys when all looked lost in the first quarter and a bit.

If you leave aside the massive fight back it's hard to judge this performance given that some expected a big win.

I didn't so I'm just glad to get the 4 points against a quality opponent.

'Pies last goal: Witts -> Grundy...there's the future!
And I tipped a 23 point win too...nice! Smile

Probably our most significant win for a very long time. To come back from that horrible start to win by 4 goals and finishing off strongly, not falling over the line is a massive positive sign for the teams future. Really impressive! Grundy taking a big mark and kicking a huge long goal was a joy to see......tears welled in my eyes.

So proud of the boys effort today. Hopefully round 1 is now a distant memory long to be forgotten. Time to smash the scum next week and take our rightful place inside the top 4 where this mighty club belongs.
