C’mon Pies

 

[Quicky]

We're up. Lynch last goal. Seems fitting. Hope we can hold on.

 

[barrackers]

Madgen turns it over coming out of 50, lions put it back in, mark, terrible kick, ootf.

 

[barrackers]

Pies take it down the other end, mark on the boundary, behind 73-76

Far out this is tight.

 

[barrackers]

24 minutes gone

 

[barrackers]

Great tackle stops a running lion in his tracks, ball up, pies clear, Reid marks, short kick finds Daicos, kicks into the mark.

 

[barrackers]

LeGrice with a goal saving spoil. Ball in. Pies force a ball up, 15m our directly in front, and another. Clearing hack kick, lands just short of an opponent who gathers kicks... SIREN as a pack gathers under a falling footy. PIES WIN!!!!

I’m the only one cheering, but what I lack in numbers I make up for in volume and exuberance!

Coburg 11.7 73
Collingwood 11.10 76

Exciting finish and made even better by us getting the result.

 

[Daicos Daze]

[left at home]

Has the game ended

 

[Quicky]

Has the game ended

Yep. We won.

 

[barrackers]

That last minute was way too tight and edge of my seat to give live updates.

Lions fan gave it to the umps as they came off, but the game or decisions didn’t reflect that.

Note to selectors Natahn Murphy not to play there next year.
Last year broke his nose, this year injured his ankle.

PS: A big thanks to barrackers for the updates - felt like I was there!

Either they had cruddy rucks or Lynch is a big improver in the offseason - interesting times ahead.
