Yes, we stood up and gave brisbane everything we had, and it just proved to be alot better then what Brisbane, only against brisbane could we have lost tarrant then have 3 injuries on the night!!! SO GLAD WE WON!!!

CARN THE BLOODY PIES!!!
 
Don't know I'd say that Nesian - If we'd kicked straight in the first quarter, we might have broken them early, and the only reason it was only 26 points was because they kicked a couple after the game was over.

As it was, the margin probably SHOULD have been closer to 46 than 26, but you take what you can.

Thanks Lions fans. You had us biting our nails there and could have stormed over us if we'd rolled over like we used to.

Was a good game in the end.
 
At the start of the 2nd half when brissy kicked a couple of goals, I really thought that they would kick on and brown would kick about 6 or 7.

Very encouraging to come away with a hard fought win like that, with Taz out and Maxy, Carrots and Swanny going down.

May sway a few people that we are a decent side:p
 
doubt it, we probably still havent beaten anyone yet. And we probably never will if we dont beat west coast or adelaide

But we have managed to win 8 games out of the 10 we've played. So maybe we have only played the bottom teams, but our wins have been good. We're averaging over 20 goals a game. We managed to stand tall tonight, even without Tarrant up forward, and only having 1 guy on the bench for more than half the game. That's a great effort. Next week against Melbourne will test us a bit, but I'm looking forward to another good win from the boys.

I don't understand this whole notion about whether opposition supporters think we are a good side... If you don't know whether the Pies are a good side, then clearly you have no idea about football.

Who cares what opposition suppoters think.
 
I thought last night's effort by Collingwood was as good as I have seen from them in many seasons. Thought it was a better effort than the awesome performance against Geelong a few weeks ago.

Terrific, gutsy effort from a real class act.

Congrats to Mick, Bucks and their lads.
 
Yeah, quite frankly I am glad people underrate us, makes wins all the more sweeter. Thats what i meant above, probably no one will rate us that we beat brisbane because they are rebuilding and not as good as they used to be, and that we have to beat WCE and Adelaide before anyone earns our respect, lol even if we beat their team. Yeah 8 - 2, really wouldnt have thought that we'd have this ratio nearing the break, at the beginning of the year. But all we can do is try and beat the opponents we play each week, really don't know what else oppoisition supporters expect us to do, get out on the field and go "oh sorry your team isnt good enough, we only play adelaide and wce cause they are apparently the sides to beat, play u next week when u get better"? and we cant play ourselves. But yeah as i said im quite happy being underrated, suites me fine.
 
I like people thinking we're not good - They're more disappointed when we comfortably take care of them.

I mean, how sweet was beating Geelong by over 100 points when a majority of the tippers in The Age tipped Geelong. It's amazing how wrong these "professionals" can be sometimes...
 
Amazing second half from us. With 1 member on the bench, and a main strategy when winning games is our rotations (it seems), it was cut short, but we pulled a very very good win. One of the best for supporters and clubs sakes in rivalries, and also, considering the options, we were very good.

Congrats to the Pies.

100% spot on. I for one don't subscribe to that rubbish 'but they haven't played anyone good' theory. Anyone who has seen a C'wood this year game who knows anything about footy will realise they are a class act and have really come on this year in a big way.

BTW, re the game, fantastic spectacle. Was some great match ups, with Aker and Davis, Micheal and Rocca, Brown & Presti, etc.
Congrats! Your guys were just magnificent in the last quarter and a half. Something in the water down at the lexus centre, just looked fitter, had more run despite being down to 19 men. And that bastard Buckley decided to have a blinding 40 minutes when the game needed to be won. Just tore Roe apart. Also thought Didak was pretty influential out of the middle and going inside 50 towards the end.
 
Technically, if people says we havent played anyone good yet, Adelaide hasnt either, seeing they beat us and because we havent beaten anyone good therefore we mustn't be a good side and thus Adelaide is not a good side as they lost to the WCE, that's if you go by that theory. Its pretty stupid as clearly Adelaide is an awesome side and Collingwood is rightfully up there too atm.
