Top shelf.

Cuts and dices 1,000 different ways.

Elite.

He turned back the clock, I'm glad he's back at 100% even though I didn't know he wasn't last year....

 

[Frankmagpie]

You like his mo Sav?
Maybe after me and my goons finish our job on the mo we may need to pay you a visit for a bit of an attitude readjustment.

If you could call it a stache... seen 16 year olds with more fluff on there top lip than that tripe of a stache. Didnt even fill out his top lip

 

[Jonno94]

We looked very Eagles like in this game, next week will be very interesting. Great win from the boys.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

I just hate it when they result in goals which a lot of theirs did and it kept them in it for a lot of the night so while we may have got more, they got the more crucial ones. It just makes sense we get more frees when we were in control of the play all night.

Play in front, you should get more frees.
Get the ball more, you should get more frees.

That simple.

 

[Maggie5]

JDG has to be dropped, shocking made our DE% lower - only 60% Seriously though DE% huge difference from last week.

 

[Jonno94]

Wait until Adams comes back in [emoji106]

Was our best mid after Sidey last year and easily best inside, can't wait.

 

[Maggie5]

Wow six Richmond players zero tackles with another ten - 1 tackle each.

We could hand out some floggings when he gets back and gives our mids even more ball, it's unlike us to belt sides but we really should against weak sides this year.

 

[sirlothie]

Wow six Richmond players zero tackles with another ten - 1 tackle each.

It showed too, they couldn't lay a finger on us. We really made them look second rate tonight. I wonder if they have declined or we were really good.

Dusty has laid 1 tackle in his last 3 games

 

[Maggie5]

I really think tonight we were very good. Positioning, defence was really attacking, mids all stood up and the forward line really worked well.

 

[Kappa]

They always look completely toothless when Dusty isn't firing.

No Rance or Riewoldt will expose them too.

The stats speak for themselves, but that was a very dominant performance. I feel like the final margin flattered the Tigers in the end.

The response by the team was nothing short of magnificent after an ordinary start last week. I'm still adamant that the absence of a third JLT game affected our preparation and made us look underdone and rusty last week. Many sides were off the pace, so to see us resemble what we were producing last year on a regular basis was reassuring and exciting.

Mayne played his best game with us. The inroads he's made since the 2017 season is remarkable. He's re-invented himself and he deserves all the accolades and praise he will receive from this performance. Noticed some were criticising Mihocek last week, but he was brilliant tonight as well.

Never write off Pendles. He's a gun and a proud player. His second half performance was fantastic. It was a great captain's performance. De Goey is a class player and one of the most exciting prospects in the whole league. Couldn't find fault from any player tonight, they were all great.

Lastly, it's great that tonight reaffirmed that we're a better side than Richmond. Any doubts of the prelim result being a fluke have dissipated now. Richmond are in serious trouble with injuries piling up and I think the 6-6-6 rule hurts them more than most other teams.

 

[Maggie5]

They had one more day rest than we did but we never seemed like we were running out of legs and checking the time on ground, most players time seemed evenly spread.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Finally broke the Thursday night drought.

It was our first ever win in the timeslot after 10 attempts.

I didn't think it was possible to beat them more comprehensively than we did in the prelim but looks like we did.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Considering how much we played keepings off, to also nearly double their tackle count was ludicrous.

 

[jackcass]

Hey BringouttheGimp , advice needed - I want to grow an Oleg Markov mo ... is there a cure for that?

Ask his sister.

 

[Spiral_Out]

ahahahahaaha, about time, last week was sooooo frustrating, played horrible and lost by a goal.


This week played average for 3 quarters and good for the last. Still a fair bit of improvement to go.


Some of the Richmond fans comments leading up to the game, so satisfying knowing they are eating dirt right now.


Here are a few:



"The pies are shit.

Toigs by 40+. "


or how about

"Collingwood has the best midfield EVER seen on an Aussie Rules ground, EVER, and will generate so many scoring opportunities that no team can live with them... 9.11.65
Jordon De Goey is the beast incarnate that makes Dustin Martin look like Aaron Fiora, add Mason Cox the top 50 goliath that has become an unstoppable force, Stephenson, Elliott and Mihocek and it's 20 goals a game minimum... 9.11.65
The hype over this mob is hilarious, decent and dangerous team, yes indeed, premiership favourites, far from it."


"Anyway, Adams and Hoskin-Elliott are out.
De Goey was terrible in the dying moments.
Grundy and Cox faded, the umpires woke up to their stage diving.
Howe was putrid.
Some of the Collingwood fans starting to doubt their team, which is a good sign."


"We are Minor Prems and we were favs to win the PF. Why? Because we were widely - and rightly - seen as the better team. We lost a one off.

We should win. We are the better more talented team.

Richmond by 24."



ohhhh no I actually feel sorry for this guy

"My first MCG game, can't wait... "

hahahah shit, poor guy.



"Snags to kick another GOTY that pies fans complain about.
Lynch to bend over they're defence and kick 6 goals.
Balta BOG.
Tiges by 81. "




"Who will play on Lynch

How do they intend to keep Riewoldt quite

What will they do when Balta is in the ruck and Nank drifts foward - Who takes Nank

Will they blame injuries again


Pies suck Cox "






ahhh there were lots of others but these made me lol, sooooo salty

 

[nowon]

Back page of tomorrow’s paper should be a photo of Mason snapping his goal with the headline :

‘Richmond defenders unable to handle Collingwood’s massive Cox’

Go Pies!

 

[swoop42]

 

[PicaBoo]

I didn't think it was possible to beat them more comprehensively than we did in the prelim but looks like we did.

DeGoey and Cox in particularly completely destroyed them at stages in the PF which is now almost the stuff of legends. I didn't had a similar feeling at the game tonight . Yes we were getting away from them but we could and should have gotten a few more goals in tbh.

 

[Pendlebeams]

MANY highlights tonight, but we don't need to go further than the first goal to see what this team is capable of achieving:

Half-back flank, NOTHING on, then some magic of Pendlebury to eventually open the switch to Steele. The vision of Sidey to find Beams was unreal, then Pendles and Sidey working into the play and eventually finding a bouncing Billy Elliott was nothing short of class. Cox knowing when to lead was just history repeating.

Reread those names. They are f***ing headaches for EVERY team in the comp. And I didn't even name De Goey.

We're Pies supporters—we'll keep a lid on it until we see the silverwear—but blimey there's plenty to be proud and excited about in 2019.

 

[nahnah]

richmond fans complaining about the umpiring, must have not seen the first half when they kept them in the game! It's like they don't realise 85% of their team are scrappy little players that try to get away with pushes, holds and high tackles.

No one was moving for pendles so he ran around in a circle drew 3 tigers and made space for teammate to pass to haha
