| Post subject: The Bounce of God |  |
|
As Bob Dylan once sang "with God on our side" it is not surprising that the Pies were destined for premiership glory in 2010.
3 little bounces proves that we were smiled upon from above.
Firstly in the prelim, after kicking the first 3 , Geelong get one back then Leroy unleashes a monster which bounces 12 metres out and takes a massive off break straight through the goals.
Secondly in the GF with minutes to go, as Milne turns BJ inside out and runs in to get the ball to win the GF, he waits and then the ball bounces at right angles through the point post. Anywhere else, Milne may have been the new Barry Breen.
Finally, in the GF replay with St.kilda dominating the 2nd qtr and getting back to within 13 points a clearing kick from the saints to McEvoy in space which inexplicably bounces back over his head to Jolly, who was 10 metres behind, who proceeds to sell the dummy to Montagna and land a beautiful pass to McCaffer in the goal sqaure for the goal to put the pies out to 21 points and quickly followed by a goal to Jolly to get the lead out to 27 and game over.
It was always meant to be. |

There was also one in the 2nd game against St Kilda where McQualter was running into goal, kicked from about 45 and it bounced in a weird direction in the goalsquare and hit the post...
Fun year!

| If only Peter Hellier had as much luck as we did, he may still have a show. |

Hey will Kieran Butler still have a show now that Collingwood has won the flag at last?   |

missed one mate..
watch maxs smother when rewolt snaps around his body in the last quarter of gf1
the ball looks like its going to roll through for a goal but the ball lands on the pointy end and goes higher enough in the air that it gives maxy time to get back and make a diving smother ..
guess it was just meant to be

Didn't Reidy do one as well - I think against the Kitty Kats?
I remember Cometti saying "Well....it took a Collingwood bounce!"
Brilliant year!

To win a flag, you generally have to be both good and lucky.

God sure owed us one- the neil crompton goal that stole the 64 flag off us, he was way out of position, barry breens mongrel punt, jesaulenkos bouncing ball that won in 70, wayne harmes boundary tap in when he was buying a hot dog in the stands, and that creep Lynch and that crap free in the 02 GF.!! Nah, the man upstairs owed us bigtime for once. !!!!!!
