Don’t mind Pendles taking kick ins now.

That Frampa tackle on Keays in the first quarter was sublime!

Hes really starting to show some composure finally that man...


Any more relaxed it'd be like having a nap in front of 50,000 people. The GOAT

is super. This bloke would be an asset to any club with his footy brain IMO.

Agree. We played great, but they made it easy with their panicked kicks forward. Our defence always looks better when we force those kind of entries.

The big thing for me was the number of players who did their part. I think we only had two ordinary players, Cox and Membrey (maybe add Mihocek), everyone else played well. The Crows do make ball movement and forward 50 entries difficult, but we were able to work through that.

Defence and pressure are always going to be there for us. The Crows poor efforts made some of that easier. It's the rest of the game that was incredibly promising. We didn't play pretty football for the most part, but it was effective

Last night's performance seemed a continuation of the first quarter in round 23. We were willing to change angles with ball in hand and when we got within range looked to kick the ball over their backs in order to turn them around.

Sides have been happy to flood our backline, however I think part of our approach last night was a way of trying to combat this. It didn't work all the time (see Frampton's kick down the wing in the 3rd quarter that was intercepted as it didn't get over the back, with the resulting entry leading directly to a goal), however it was very effective in unsettling Adelaide's vaunted back 6.

Another thing that stood out to me in contrast to the round 23 clash was the ineffectiveness of Adelaide's half backs, particularly Hinge, who was subbed out with only 7 disposals.

Just an absolute ****wit who has no idea how to hide his hatred for one club in particular. Its quite sad for a high profile journo to be such an unprofessional little bitch

Just nice to know that our chance to win a premiership is back in our own hands if we are good enough - and our season wasn’t derailed by our shaky performances/close losses/player management/difficult draw.

Also, I have seen peak Buckley, Swan and Pendlebury in my time, but I have never been more confident in one of our stars performing on the big stage as I am of Nick Daicos - we have genuinely won the lotto getting this kid.

Great comment from a Pies fan last night - "Your boos mean **** all to me, I've seen what makes you lot cheer"

Yep, Nick is next level and beyond.

Man that spear at the end got the plums up and about, if we can manage to get to the granny imagine the bull coming out with that aggression in the first few mins

Yep

I’ve posted his videos before

He’s great. Love listening to him. I’ve tuned in to his livestreams too

Cox 2nd half was a breath of fresh air, the big fella just might get himself another yr in the black and white

He pretended last night that "we all want the same thing" regarding JDG playing in the PF.

He's a liar. He wanted JDG suspended.

Yes they are the same type of people, the funny thing is we played 6 interstate games = to Geelong this year, excluding the game last night. that would make it 7. But as you mentioned. Apparently, Collingwood does not travel interstate.

Adelaideans carry on about Pies playing 14 at the G. They play 13 at Adelaide Oval - 11 of them with a significant advantage - whereas for all but about 5 of ours it's a pretty bloody neutral venue.

An angry Bruz is my favourite part of football. Oppo flogs flying everywhere like tissues in a stiff breeze

We should play at AO more IMO

Particularly in that sort of atmosphere. The best thing about the hostility of the crowd is that it was like when cricketers say you learnt very quickly to not sledge some batsmen as it just focussed him more. The crowd were our firend, as if we weren't going to handle that sort of atmosphere better than them

Nah, the stadium is not big enough, it brings our overall crowd figures down.

yeah, you didn't sledge Viv, and definitely not Curtley!!

From the Adelaide board:

Poster 1:

"Collingwood represent the status quo Victorian team which gets everything ****ing handed to them on a platter, the Adelaide crowd was always going to stick it on them in a siege way. People need to get over it."

Poster 2:

"Exactly"

The cognitive dissonance is strong in those campaigners.
