Who Frederick , I fell off my chair when someone on here said she was starring this year ,,I’m sorry Moncon, kb even sheerin star in this comp , sab Fred is incapable of that

Frederick was huge last week, but still don't rate her. She is playing better for the Pies that she ever played for us.

 

[Phar Ace]

Great win. Busy writing a job application and then looked at the score. Very very nice way to cheer me up (hate writing job applications)

Nothing better than making the Pies cry

At least you can write, think of the Collingwood supporters........!

 

[Phar Ace]

To win like we did was just a great feeling. A lot of what ifs had we played this way all year but thems the breaks.
More spread, not as much bombing, and more control of the ball. Players leading up to the ball carrier. The game plan looked a hell of a lot better today.

Yep, we had chains of possession, many of them. We marked better than Collingwood - 56 to 29! Not sure when we last saw that sort of aerial dominance.

 

[Tigeron]

Could of been Colliewobbles back again

 

[tugga]

Was that game smart coaching or dumb luck?

Players had nothing riding on it.
took risks and it paid off.
ferguson seems like a very conservative coach to me.

 

[tugga]

Prob look ok on the girls , that’ll do tho

Looked great because of the black trim and the fact that they are more like running shorts.
would look awful on the blokes.

Is that the best you've seen Poppy mark overhead? Very confident today in the air, strong hands.

And goes alright with the spray tan too , pasty white legs lol, would be diabolical

 

[Bojangles17]

Will be interesting to see if they stick with ferguson

He’s 110% invested and team follow him, there was a few key factors like injuries beyond his control however during biz end of year we were playing crap footy , v ess and cats was telling coz we were better last year and they’ve now flown past us ,,,unfortunately I think he gets the chop , our club takes the w program pretty seriously , not all do , eg pies and blues , this shouldn’t be accepted

 

[Bojangles17]

14g , equal best year for kb , albeit 1 more game , surprisingly , highest avg posies and marks too , you wouldnt know reading some of the dribble

 

[Nostradumbass]

Just seen Conti's running goal. Damn.

[Bojangles17]

Gee that’s bad

 

[Blinger]

That was a very good game after quarter time. Conti, Kelly, Brennan, Sheerin were all very good with nearly all the other players contributing throughout the game. Sheerin in the middle took some pressure off Conti & gave Egan a chance to not be the second mid in the team, which I think helped her out. Also love the look of Shevlin reminds me of a right footed Sheerin. If we get some of the other girls back from injury for next season & play this style of footy week in week out then all of a sudden competitive finals are back in play.

 

[Blinger]

Also think we could use Greiser up the ground at CHF, as she seem to read the ball better when she is moving around, but really struggles when playing deep forward with very poor consistency body on body with the opposition.

 

[Dr Tigris]

At least you can write, think of the Collingwood supporters........!

Do I have to??

I think of them as like Kangaroos, only not cute.

 

[tora tora tora]

Finished a game outside the eight with a horrendous injury list and having McKenzie and Seymour out for the year pretty much.
suns and dons games cost us.

I think Seymour played 8. McKenzie is the concern.

 

[Phar Ace]

Is that the best you've seen Poppy mark overhead? Very confident today in the air, strong hands.

I think so - she had one other game last year that made us all go - woah what have we got here - only to hear she was then injured and even when she played again it was one mark sticking and the rest bouncing off the palms. I also like how she crashed in to Fredericks a fair bit showing how bruise free Fredericks likes to play - as she did with us!

As good as Gabby is, I don't think we lost much at all having her out with the form that Kelly produced - but it was against Fredericks!

Unless there is someone knowingly better available, I think we will stick with him. I wonder whether Hampson is being groomed?

Why the he’ll it took to r10 to consider sheerin in midfield is astonishing

Hmm likely , no idea whether hammer has done all his level certification

 

[Tortured Tiger]

Probably because she was an all Australian defender and was playing well again this year in that role. We really need two of her as it did make our defence very slow. Luckily the Pies couldn’t exploit that but better teams certainly would.

 

[Cdog71]

I think last year we really got the jump on a few teams with Sheerin storming through the corridor.
Oppo are a little more prepared for her and you can see with Dempsey numbers the ball isn’t as direct as last year.
Ferguson tried a few things but I think Darcy being a marking threat and Peck holding her own in the back half was great.
If Poppy can play most of the game Ruck I’d like to see Gabby have a go on the wing next year.

I think Ferg deserves another year but we need another quality young tall.
Would’ve been good to see Woods clunk a mark a little more often
