Worked all day and for the first time in years, I listened to a Collingwood game on the radio.
Unbelievable result and looking forward to watching the replay.
Life is so much better when the pies are winning!!!

The thing that changed markedly after quarter time was we actually had players at the fall of cotests, like proper front and square basic football. Even Blair was staying down for crumbs. Amazing what happens when we have numbers at the feet of marking contests all over the ground. Was a (belated) delight to see.

Disagree with this assessment. Think he is pretty fair toward us.
All Foxtel commentators acknowledged this for what it was, a great Pies win.

My condolences to you mate.
Glad the Pies winning cheered you up somewhat.

can someone pray tell how we got the biscuits in this won?

Started with clearances. Got well beaten in 1Q and on the scoreboard accordingly.
Dominated thereafter. Grundy got first use and he, Adams, Pendlebury, Treloar, Sidebottom, Crisp kept pushing it forward.
Their backs got exposed for size too. Cloke was enormous against Tomlinson, Moore kept Davis, their best key back, occupied and White popped up regularly.
Macaffer kept Shaw relatively quiet, including making a nice snap to keep him accountable.
Howe was damaging by foot and in the air. After Patten dominated in 1Q (3 goals and about 5 marks) he got a lot less supply. Moved Marsh off him and got the match ups a bit better Brown/Patten, Reid/Cameron, Marsh/Lobb with support from Howe. Sinclair provided good run out of the backline too.
And as someone else noted, we did start to crumb contests after 1Q - Blair, Varcoe & Fasolo were all busy.
A great team effort. Really pleased for Bucks and Cloke in particular.

Just back from the game
Pies were almost sensational after Qtr Time.
Proves with a better balanced team out there, we can match it with the better teams.
Too bad, it's not going to mean anything for us this season though.

He needs to prove he's overcome his yips. Don't expect players of the calibre of Treloar, Grundy and others to stick around in a team whose fortunes in tight games rest on Cloke. They won't.
The only thing we know about Cloke with any certainty is that one week's performance is no guarantee about next week's. He's a head case. And until he's proved through back-to-back perormancesthat he can kick gettable goals from 30m set shots straight in front he must remain on notice. |
Not sure why you'd be so hell bent on focussing on the negatives today after a great win and Cloke having a dominant game. Sure, all on this board realise he is not the most reliable kick for goal, but he did kick 4 and his confidence in his marking was something which had been missing this year. Form can be built and his would appear to be.
Seems someone finds misery more satisfying than joy. That's a shame and a disappointing way to go through life.

Coniglio mouthing off at Cloke after his miss is indicative of the generation coming through - 4 goals down, done nothing in footy or life, but smirking with chest & chin out whilst running his mouth trying to belittle a premiership player and B&F winner that's twice his size.
"Generation M" (m for mouth) - the generation that thinks they can mouth off without consequence. The world will turn again........ |
I thought the same thing about their mouth off the field as well KM after reading the Age this morning. Their football manager Matthews saying "every deal we have done with Collingwood has been overwhelmingly in our favour"
Really?
Adams for Shaw is a win win so far isn't it? They might be in front so far but I can't help thinking we'll be the winner in the longer term.
Treloar and a second rounder for two first rounders? Time will tell but our lad is ticking the boxes each week and threatens to be the first b&f in a debut year since the great NB. Not shabby. What do they have in return? Time will tell.
So yeah it looks as though they might have got ahead of themselves in the lead up to today's game.
Well done pies on getting some respect and belief back. Bring on the crows hey?

<snip. Please desist with the personal insults>
It was great Clokey had a much better day.
But lets not forget the arrogant twerps we had in the past, like Nick Davis, Cameron Cloke etc.
Giants will win a flag or two before the Pies win another.
1 win doesn't make a season and it hasn't. <snip. Same reason>
Who modded this post.
You allowed the insults on the Giants by KM, and them remove my response above including using the same word he did.
Poor modding

Yea indeed. He is a gun of the highest caliber and kept the scoreline respectable for the Giants on his own.
As for the match, it was worth a 14hr return drive to see the boys in a memorable match. Great to see a sea of black/white. I actually felt a little sorry for the GWS supporters. They don't know a lot about footy and they were outnumbered (and out-yelled) this afternoon. (At least I can stomach GWS as opposed to the idiotic Swans' fans.)
Can Pies build on the last few weeks and give us something special? Who knows? |
14 hours. Wow, that is worth a special mention. Were 10 of those hours in Sidanee traffic?

Great win.
Ruckman are the most important player.
4 players who can ran and carry from the backline.
3 great big guys down front.
Wonderful win.
Well coached today.
