Nothing to be ashamed of Pies...

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

You put up a great fight.
No bomber supporter on this board gave the pies a chance of even coming close in this game and to go down by 8 points is nothing to be ashamed of. Great game. Bad luck Collingwood, Well played Essendon.

Yeah it was a really good effort to get that close, but please please PLEASE dont do the 'we should have won that game too' thing!!
that would just take all the goodness away from the loss

And more importantly, well done Essendon on the win!

What a great match.. Im not going to say it was an easy win for the Dons, because the pies put up a great match

[James2]

I agree, a terrific match

 

[Toots]

Let the whingers say that was boring footy!! great match either club deserved to win. The best one did

 

[anchor man]

Have just finished watching a great game well done to both teams.Some really good kids coming on in both sides.Bombers may find it hard to maintain there run run of last year but still look awsome.It looks like the white maggots have pulled the pulling the ball in under from out of the box again after that game,so look out guys you will be under the scope again.Or was it just another one off?

i agree it was a great game it was a shame one side had to lose its just a pity the past grand finals couldnt be of the same standard.
cheers!

Has there ever been an ANZAC Day clash where the game has been one-sided? Both teams usually produce the goods on this day and today was no exception.

 

[Michael23]

Great Effort both teams...Great game..Turnovers in the end costed collingwood the 4 points..Essendon played well to win...i didnt see many spare seats..where was the extra 10,000 going ot sit????

 

[Anton Grbac]

Gutsy performance 'Pies. Very impressive and well played.
Good win boys.

where's wally?

 

[Joel]

Aussie Roo - last year was competive to half time when Collingwood led but let is slip to lose by 40. However ever other year has been exceptional with both teams rising to the occasion.

Well done to both teams.

I went today and the Magpies should have won.
Fraser's short pass across goal. What was he thinking? Could he have touched the ball in the first quater I could not see everybody stood up. And his shot on the final siren. Enough said. Is He always like this he had some big wraps on him pre draft 1999.

Q; Is Corey McKernan now playing for Essendon wearing #25 ?

Go the Skull !!!

[SS11]

The pies shoulda bloody won..LOL

 

[Joel]

DOC - I haven't really seen Josh make those sort of errors before. He is usually level headed, pick the right option and kicks to where he should. He played an alright game I thought. However there were a couple of mistakes that shouldn't have happened but you can't have everything always your way.

 

[The Dutchman!]

Sounds like it was a corker. Great effort to come from behind and pleasing to hear that Peverill played well on Buckley and that Rama, Jacobs and McVeigh all did well.

That said, a competitive Collingwood is good for footy - well done pies to push us all the way.

 

[NYMets]

As I just said somewhere else, somebody hand me the heart pills! phew....what a game! I came up from the beach to watch it and I couldn't sit still (breath into the bag,NYM,breath into the bag) I vacuummed for chisssake and every time I looked up Tarrant had the ball!!
After the SCG i was gasping for a good contest but I don't know if my nerves can take more like this....y....eah they can!

Congrats Pies..though I was impressed with your fight against the DOns late last year. O'Bree great -catch me if you can!
Wasn't Peveril great on Bucks for his second go?

wash your mouth out with soap dutchy...i think a useless, bottom of the ladder collingwood is better for footy

......i doubt we'll get it this year though ;(

Poor old Josh Fraser will be having nightmares tonite, although had the good guys lost, I think JJ wouldve been in his situation.

Totally epic game. I even injured my foot kicking a table after some dubious umpiring in the 2nd qtr, although I should be ok for the eagles game.

GO BOMBERS !!!!!!!!!!!

I reakon your right Nick.
