In round 12 the Pies smashed us around the ball. They seemed to let a Hawks player get first access, had just one player go in to tackle, and then swarmed around the player waiting for the Hawks player to handball. And it worked a treat for them... not just in the AFL but also in the VFL.

Today, that did not happen ... at all ... and not at any time in the game.

In round 12 I thought Fly was the most influential person in that game. Today, Sammy and the coaching team were the most influential people on the game.

Meek was awesome, but the system won the day
 
Truly happy to be wrong for once this season insofar as predicting our performance against a team better than us. We have failed every test this season and finally (albeit late), we have taken our best win for the season. Having said this, Collingwood have been very poor for an extended stretch and perhaps are going through their sloppy period. Melbourne and Brisbane left.

Not sure about us. Still feel we can’t make a prelim. I hope I’m wrong.

115 point turnaround since round 13.

good job GIF

And with less tackles ;)

Love Meek but he's definitely behind Gawn, Xerri, Grundy and Jackson at a bare minimum.
Not sure anyone is behind Xerri. Grab the ball out of the ruck and hack it to the first opposition player he sees.
 
Just having watched the replay. I hate working with work challenged mute vagina’s. HR have told me that I’m not allowed to call them lazy dumb campaigners anymore, so that’s my compromise. If they actually pulled their fingers out of their rectums, I could have watched the game live.

O.K. Now after my little whinge, whine bitch and moan. great game, great win. Loved Calsher’s game, hate seeing him subbed though, seems we lose that ā€œXā€ factor and energy when he is subbed. Watson really started off well, gunners worked his way into the match, as did Chol. Sicily seems back to his best. Newcombe played well. Loved Moore and Wiz in the midfield, made us unpredictable. Scrimmers, Barrass and Battle were solid down back

The four talls worked this week, think it’s worth persevering with, just don’t sub Dear any more, that is my only criticism from the game, eventually it will cost us a big match.

I don't rate Xerri highly either for those exact reasons but the selectors do.

Made the squad last year and has had a statistically better season this year.

Nah. Newk went to tackle, he didnt bump.

Even the commentators were saying he had no case and they often like to dramatise these incidents.

As pure a football accident as you could possibly have.
Even David ā€œthrow the book at him ā€œ King didn’t have anything to say about it so surely he’s fine .
