[Donny]

So proud of the boys !!

We jumped them and they busted a gut to catch up and couldn't !!

I haven't seen the game yet (replay about to start) but I'm just so bloody proud to be a MAGPIE !!

[Magpie Since 1986]

Sensational. Brilliant. Golden.
Top marks to our big men:
Walker – star in the making (what a first quarter!)
Fraser – huge effort
Rocca – Strong as usual (Goal of the year thank you very much)
Tazza – Kicking let him down, couldn’t get the goals but the 2nd and 3rd efforts were breath taking, him running down 3 players in a row was class!
Rest of the team such a gutsy effort
Woey stood up, Scotland showed what class he is, too many contributors to name.

Bring on the Dons!
Bring on 2nd spot!

The game was televised live where I am and it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, even though we got ahead in the first quarter. Great game by all the boys.

Just had my email read out on Triple MMM.

Complaining about Vozzo and how we have had him three weeks in a row and how the clock on 13:21mins stopped for at least two minutes and it is not good enough!

[maggie20ct]

i heard that one silf, good job, ur famous! lol na it was a good email and im sure we will hear more about that clock incident...

[TRELOS]

how nice was Pebbles goal!!!
Pies showed great courage in the end wen Swans had all the momentum to hold on and stem the flow

[Beth]

A real pearler, Tupac.

[RitchieColeRocks]

it was a good effort to get up, but they really had to work hard.
i'm just hoping it didn't take to much out of them, essendon had a easy win today

[Bones]

I'm knackered...

[Pied Piper]

"Collingwood can beat them, but the boys will want to squeeze every bit of extra big-match experience out of themselves. They'll want to hit them as hard as they can in that first half, because Sydney are great finishers. They have a knack for rolling over the top of sides.

The key players and match-ups will be Buckley, who needs a big one on Kirk; Clement on O'Loughlin and Rocca on Schauble. Sydney will be stretched down back without Saddington, but so will we minus Presti.

But the decisive battle will be in the ruck. Fraser and Goodes play similar brands of football, and whether they play on or off each other, I predict the one who has the greater influence on the match will decide the result."

..............

Thus spake The Weed pre-match! Ah, nice to be on the money for once. We hit them hard early, and withstood the inevitable comeback. Goodes was great, but Fraser was the one who controlled the game when it counted. Kirk held Buckley for most of the match, but Clement did his job on O'Loughlin, Wakes held Hall and Rocca beat Schauble.

Special mention to Tex Walker, who impressed me with his attack in the ruck against Adelaide and tonight showed the doubters (me included) that he may yet have what it takes. 13 poss., a goal and 13 hit-outs - top class. And also to Alan Didak - a hugely important game from him tonight. Great to see him getting the ball and using it so well.

Chris Tarrant again showed his outstanding work ethic and, of course, congratulations to Heath Scotland. He has been so luckless, but they say you make your own luck. He didn't do enough to get retained on early season performances, but in the last two weeks, after working so hard at Willi, he may have booked his finals place. Well done - that's the advantage of a team with depth and everyone battling for a place.

Walker you bloody beauty! He has what it takes.
Good, gutsy away win against a finals side.
Now to keep this winninmg momentum going against Essenscum.
Hopefully, Presti & Coley will be right this week.
And we WON'T get bloody bozzo Vozzo...........
Bring it on!!

Esto Collingwood Perpetua!
