I attended a function starring Craig McRae in Perth on Saturday night. Believe me, we are in very good hands. An incredible man, winning attitude, ultra professional and following his time as a 3-time premiership player playing under Leigh Mathews, he served an 18 year apprenticeship coaching...

And we’ll still win.

Go take a gander at the Bullies board. Most are concerned about this game because they believe their outs are far more significant than ourselves.

Exactly. If wasn’t playing the role the coach expected of him, he’d be in the VFL.

I believe he’s playing a different role with us. As FJ said, his role is running hard between half forward and half back pressuring the opposition and linking up and creating opportunities for teammates. At Freo he was a stay at home small forward and had way more opportunities to convert...

Sensational effort. Didn’t go unnoticed by the coach either. Coaches love this stuff.

Sorry mate. Yep I missed that. Those 4 out definitely go someway toward balancing up our outs.

Some aren’t even glass half full. Some are just a smashed glass.

No Naughton or Richards either.

True. And most are only focused on how the time clock has stopped and therefore wastes no time. But it does provide a team more time to set up for the ball up than they may otherwise have been ready for. Maybe this is also part of the intent of the rule.

For sure. This game was a triumph of system over personnel. A few returning stars and we’ll be a handful for anyone.

Even Longmuir says Freo stole the 2pts.

It was almost a perfect night.

I hope so because I have guest passes into the Collingwood rooms after the match. I’m quietly confident.

I was pointing to an against the odds win for us and how a win like that does wonders for morale and confidence. A Pies win tonight will be a magnificent win.

Smith and De Goey changing back and forth between up forward and on ball would be pretty formidable.

A win Friday night sets our season up beautifully and severely dents Freo’s hopes.

We’ll see system vs personnel.

Getting games into young guys and blooding others is a huge positive for the future.

And that would appear to be the only way we could get hold of him without a trade that makes it pointless.

I think he stays until free agency.

Jed Walters goes alright.

Is there any chance the Pies get Harley Reid in the future? Free agency seems to be the only avenue and even then we may need to trade. A bridge too far probably. Imagine Nick Daicos and Harley Reid playing on ball together?

Well if he didn’t get DVT, he at least suffered some light headedness from altitude sickness.

🤣

Sounds horrible. I was just joking after how high Jamie’s mark was. 🤣

I was actually having a joke that because Jamie was so high off the ground during his mark on ANZAC Day that it probably caused DVT 🤣

It’s confirmed that Jamie Elliott has deep vein thrombosis from ANZAC Day.

I still believe Schultz will wind up being an excellent recruit.

I think it was an extraordinary performance by the Pies. Our best win for a long time (AFL GF aside).
