Game Day Round 18 @ Collingwood

[beartoo]

• Made the best players again. This time in a season-defining game that puts us into the 8. Time for some humble pie you knockers. Kudos to all others that kept the faith with this bloke. He's good and he's improving by the game.​

He's a favourite!

Happened right in front of me

 

[beartoo]

You all thought we were going to lose?
Don't be roodiculous!

Must confess I thought we were gone for the season when the Pies hit the front in the last. Full marks for our blokes for gutsing out the win.
Now let's hope we don't have a massive letdown and go down to Wet Toast next Saturday.

Looks like we had another good AFC crowd roll up - well done.

Just back from the port board 'general bullshit' thread.

Bwaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha so many tears. Eat a fat one Power numpties!

And guess who Port play next week!!

 

[beartoo]

There's some funny fear about playing us in the finals in week 1..
I thought we were s**t, there should be zero fear..
What happened to top 4 though? They can't play us from the top 4..

I also like the part where they would easily beat any of the final 8 sides at AO..

I'm so glad I'm part of a club that doesn't spend the majority of its time telling the world how great it is. Our supporters are far more balanced people than they are.

We prolly want port to win?

Whenever this happens I feel dirty all week.

Martin ahead of Smith in the top 3? OK then mate.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing when you can say he went on and performed well in the 4th, but the fact is he and Wright were both looking ordinary at the end of the 3rd and were both like-for-like options for the sub Grigg.

He was never going to be subbed before Wright, as he had a brilliant first half, poorish third quarter along with most of the side, and then again brilliant in the last. What does the bloke have to do to get recognition on here?

 

[BACCS]

Martin is actually a very good overhead mark for a guy his size as well, which is not something I thought he had.

Cannot wait.

Jen didn't your mother teach you not to use bad language!!??

 

[The Karma Bus]

Don't need to rely on anything like this..
If we do, we don't deserve to make it with the draw we have for the rest of the year..
Placing faith that we will earn it ourselves..

Go PIES!!!

 

[footy4ever]

You bet we do! Even so, it's the only team match up where I hope both teams lose.

 

[Tex200]

We prolly want port to win?

Never - not under any circumstances.

 

[footy4ever]

I missed the entire last quarter and the replay is on in 35 minutes.


…Is it worth a look you think?

I( know AFL is a big step up, but Martin took quite a few contested marks when he played with Sturt. I can remember him playing full forward in several games and acquitting himself well.

3rd of June

absolutely, even when I went down to see Tex play against the Bays you could tell Martin was playing his heart out for the jumper and a spot in the seniors.

he's been good and I think he completely deserves every game he gets, but realistically its going to be very tough for him to hold his spot when guys start coming back from injuries. You can tell by the way he plays and the way he's responded to everything Pilchard_Adams has mentioned above that he's got character in spades, now he just has to demand his spot.

4th of July

glad people are finally getting around Martin a bit, he and Sloane are very similar sorts for mine. Neither are particularly gifted, but both have hearts of gold. Sloane has just been fortunate enough to have a good run with injuries and plenty of opportunities. People forget that Martin's first couple of were very exciting.

while he may not be around for too long going forward because he's obviously not a Gary Ablett type, the guy deserves a lot of respect for the way he's carried himself over the journey and he's been getting very little.

you're right though, I just hate Martin

 

[dogs105]

Martin just has that special Meningie quality

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

We prolly want port to win?

No, we control our own destiny now. We win, we stay in. We lose, we don't deserve it.

He might want to see a doctor for that.

 

[Crowked]

Exactly. * barracking for Port. Never!!!!

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Exactly. **** barracking for Port. Never!!!!

Would wear a dress to work before doing that.

The last quarter most definitely is worth a watch if you hadn't seen it. (silly question)

If we beat West Coast then * them! If not, I'm torn.
