All not well at the Pies

[Catsmaninamerica]

Firstly, let me just say.This is NOT a troll... More keen on hearing from Pies supporters who can be objective on this and give us an honet appraisal of there they are at...

Heard a whisper over the summer that a few of the players that left found it easier to walk given the new coach...(Davis, Dick particularly). Listening to Dermott on SEN just now talk about Daisy thomas "eyeballing" bucks, and Derm's comment that he has known and seen many 250 game players that NEVER eyeball a coach...

On top of that, they are playing fairly average footy... Wondering if the Buckley move is gonna completely slam shut their premiership window. Are they just starting slowly, trying to peak later, or are they actually finished as a real contender?

Curse of the Kangaroo.

Buckley shafted us to "win flags" at Collingwood as a player.

Then he shafted us when we offered him a coaching gig ...

They are a shadow of what they've been. No disrespect to Carlton who are playing well, but Collingwood are looking like a rabble early on here

I think most people would pick Collingwood over North. Its nice playing in front of big crowds and having more cash. cant blame him for wanting to coach his former team.

Cripes now Ball looks to have done a knee. Friday the 13th not good forthe pies

Playing the completely wrong game style for the players they have.

Bad news for ball who in his time there been great for pies

But they really look a shadow of the side they once were. Is that a buckley thing or is that they were one trick ponies with a fancy game plan that is now exposed?

Because everything has to relate back to North in some way, doesn't it.

The swarming defence just isn't there right now. Saying that, its early days and there's a lot of good footballers wearing the Pie jumper....

Signs aren't good....but prepared to reserve judgement at this stage.

Maybe i'm nervous but I hope this thread isn't premature

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Gee the pies supporters are going feral on their board, turning on their own like nobodies business. The Buckley transition might turn out to be the worst move ever!

Hope Ball is ok, looking better

 

[smashing]

they'll pull it together come september, but hopefully for us and everyone else pushing for the top 4, they drop as many games as possible before then.

 

[underthestars]

How bad arE Carlton then? Will lose this game.

 

[spark12]

Its only the second quarter.

 

[JD11]

this thread is embarassingly premature, even if they lose tonight, they can easily go top 4, and be fit for finals.

Well said.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Wow, if Ball is now seriously hurt, is that negligent by the Pies medical team sendin him back on? Would have to be...

Already made a sub. Not good...

 

[RegHickeyStand]

If Collingwood win tonight, expect Pies posters to post in this thread. Offering OP all sorts of advice.

Didn't see this, can you explain what happened?

Just hurt himself again, not good

I heard that Buckley nearly quit coaching in January. Almost walked out. He won't last.

 

[peppy la pew]

Joffa isn't taking it too well, mind you he has been in a good paddock

Sounds like BS to me.
