Analysis A win, although not a triumph. Pies by 17 over Dees

[Magpie Girl]

I was starting to pray for the siren to go!
Some good passages of play but not a whole lot of consistency

Now we just need the Blues to win tomorrow

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Had a chance for some percentage. Would have been nice

 

[Soaring Magpie]

4 points, the cue was put in the rack early.
Some promising signs, with plenty of talent to come in over the next fortnight.
Bring on September

 

[Dubaimagpie]

Horrible last quarter and shocking umpiring.

Really enjoyed 2nd and 3rd - have no idea why we were trying to run down the clock from the start of the 4th, but still some positives to come out of today, namely Madgen's great performance.

 

[Vedder]

Wasn't a bad effort to be fair, won the game when it mattered, no injuries, chicken burgers for tea, looking like a pretty good afternoon

 

[Aussie pie]

Did my ladder predictor and going into the finals we are 2nd

I think your ladder predictor is broken

Roughead was serviceable in the forward line. However, he needs to be move into the backline once Moore joins the team.

 

[unplugged]

I would've taken a one point win before the game.

We did enough. I know we could've won by more and should've, but I'll take the win.

*en disgrace that’s all I’ve got. By the way reckon Elliott did another hammy

Complain complain complain - you never change.
Do we need to go through the same embarrassing discussion about perspective as last week.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

At least they have improved over the last two weeks....even if it was against the spooners and second last...

 

[Capital Magpie]

Happy for us to bank the 4 points. It means that it's now impossible to miss Finals. Wasn't pretty or entertaining but we won, no new injuries (that I'm aware of) and we have held the fort for another week until some of our champs return.

 

[Mortimore 39ers]

Tomorrow is going to mark a dark and disturbing life event for me personally.
Tomorrow, after decades of following AFL/VFL football and for the first time in my life (and I almost just threw up in my mouth thinking about it) I am going to be barracking for Carlton to win a game of football (there you go, I just did throw up in my mouth). I hope that god has mercy on my soul.

 

[Bad Horse]

Madgen really stood up

Mihocek is so good. We would be cactus without him.

Browny really is putting some solid games together. He has played 30 now and his consistent run is paying off

Adams had a very big second half.

Gawn still owns the ruck unfortunately but it wasnt decisive.

Greenwood's disposal is [censored in the light of concerns for player mental health]

The last quarter made me wish for the pony apocalypse. Is it coaching or the players themselves? Were they just knackered and went into survival mode? If a coach called for that, they should be fired. Now.

I am now waiting for the casualty reports, and hoping its not Gettysberg but Maynard and Sidey did look pretty proppy.

4 points. Id take that before the game given how non-ideal everything about our lineup was. Have to win the last 2 though. We need troops back, faster than we lose them. For once.

I feel your pain. Don't be a hero. Manage the pain. Alcohol works. I'll be hitting the Ardberg hard.

* we won the game. I don't give a * how much we won by at least we aren't ******* melbourne.

He looked dejected in the bench at the end

Me too mate.its sickening isn't it. Carn the blues

Elliott is some if that’s the case as a player.

 

[barrackers]

Despite trying to get themselves up with over the top goal celebrations the dees were always too far back to win that.

We stopped to less than a crawl and ceased taking the game on with 10-15 remaining meaning we never looked like scoring late.

Disappointing we blew the chance to boost our percentage; 6-7 goals was the minimum we should have won by.

 

[Capital Magpie]

He looked dejected in the bench at the end

But he always looks somber

 

[Jelly Bean]

Percentage is going to be important to our ladder position and possibly double chance or not. Very disappointing to let them kick the last four goals of the game.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Daicos was off with concussion too
