Official Pies Posters Interview Thread

[Snag Breac]

With all the lid-blowing excitement over what’s happening on-field, let’s not forget the critical role played in Collingwood’s success by its active, ardent barrackers.
This thread is designed to record and celebrate, in a series of interviews, the involvement of BF Pies posters over the 2010 Premiership Season and the ensuing finals period.

Let’s kick off with a

Question to the Pies Moderators:
What role have you played in Collingwood’s pursuit of a flag this year?

Questions for Old Spice:
How important has the Smally Paddock strategy been to our on-field success to date?
Will vet fitness staff moderate Smally’s training regime over the coming weeks, and if so, how?

Question for Quicky, SnoopDog and DaVe86:
What can posters who avidly follow your threads expect over finals time? A falling away due to fatigue and post-game celebration? Or a wave of even more insightful threads documenting the rise and rise of the 2010 Pies?

Question for Tradedraft:
You are the chain that holds this forum together, Dave, particularly on dull days. How’s your posting form coming into finals? And do you expect to be opening a TRADEDRAFT GRAND FINAL THREAD?

Question for Pie eyed
Your game haiku strategy is working well, with a 100% success rate to date. Have you started working on any special September haikus?

Please quote your question and respond below. More questions to follow.

It's been the most important innovation in football since the knuckleman.

In the next week, Smally's training regime will consist of resting in the twos, replacing the whole team there to allow them rest. He will them replace all senior players in round 21, except for Leroy who will be there to provide sexual ambience. Round 22 and finals, Smally to start in the ruck.

Bloody Hope I do as I be Disappointed if I don't because we Should win the Minor Premirship so the Pies should at least make the GF.

My Form is Quite Good

Ever the optimist, as you know, I have looked beyond the week ahead and have put some thought to some fitting mantra with which to fly the flag.

I'm going to a more formal poetry format for the finals though as Haiku, whilst great in the home and away clashes, lack the intensity and hard work required for satisfactory results in the furnace which is finals footy.

 

[Snag Breac]

Can we get a comment from TRS on the famous 'shit down' defence?

Well anticipated, Thommo.

Question for TRS:

Has the celebrated Shit-Down Defence reached its apotheosis, or can it still evolve and offer us even more as finals approach?

Question for Opti:

Opti, when did you realise that your relationship with Leigh Brown had gone beyond the normal barracker/player interface? Concerned posters may wish to view this thread:

On his return to the side, for most of 2009 I felt like I was leroys only supporter.

So in 2010 as his and the teams form increased I believed it was time to start spread the word pf the mighty Leroy. It's quickly becoming a cult lol

I felt like you were too. There was a reason you flew solo in 2009 though.

I dont say this with much joy but isn't cam wood doing a wonderful job of proving me right.

Needs to go to the school of Leroy and stop sucking at life

 

[Old Spice]

He's up there with Fraser and Obree I guess

 

[Optimax]

He's up there with Fraser and Obree I guess

At least those two had serviceable careers, unlike cam who can't muster the effort to get past the start line

My god he shits me

While we are sidetracking the thread, what suggests to you cam is any more then a sack of lazy unfulfilled talent?

I've never doubted his talent, never, work ethic, want to succeed, drive that I question

I don't think he's lazy, think he looks lazy like most ruckman. Not enough blood left over to animate their faces.

I think he needs to work on his concentration and confidence. I think the drive is there or he wouldn't have left for Melbourne.

I've gotta say i've been pretty slack in my reviews lately but you'll be happy to know I havn't given up on them just yet. I've just got up this weeks Match Review - R19 - Collingwood vs Geelong so feel free to give it a read and comment. I've given a bit more detail and have tried to capture the mood of the game more. Let me know what you think?

As for beyond that I think it's all I can do to keep the reviews up and going but we'll see. The list draft and trade talk thread should get a hammering post finals. I'm hoping to focus on some of the potential draftees a bit more plus all the gossip, rumour and innuendo that goes with trade and draft time.

How bout your good self Snag? Any literary masterpieces in the cooking for what should be an epic finals series?

 

[shawthing09]

This. Leigh Brown has improved a large way from early 2009 to late 2010.

I have a question for Opti.

Are we going to see a BF team of the decade as part of the hype that is CFC 2010?

i was converted when he drilled that goal against Adelaide in the finals, never looked back

I am but the plaything of the Footy Gods, Quicky. If inspiration comes, I will take up my pen. But Rocca was my main muse, and that creative portal is closed for ever.

On the other hand, Leroy Brown has lately clad himself in the raiment of hero, so there is hope.

Question for Mars and DThomas:

As two of the top Buddy-Boarders of 2010, what have you planned in your respective threads for the weeks ahead? And what part has the Buddy Board played in the on-field success of Harry and Dale?

Question for Double07:

D07, you are the BF media representative for Leon Davis - not an easy task, given his patchy form this season. What can you do to motivate him and to ensure that he returns to his incomparable best for finals?

 

[Dylz48]

Yes will have best of 2010 and best of my time on bf come the end of round 22

wrapped loved the BF team last year

Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa; we have to take it one week at a time!

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

Can we get someone on permanent lid watch and then interview him periodically to find out how well sealed (or unsealed) it is??

 

[Optimax]

wrapped loved the BF team last year

I've wanted to re ignite it a couple of times this season but life just kept interrupting in some way

But it'll be back soon
