Toast Round 15 = Collingwood 108-74 St Kilda

[PonsfordMagpie]

We keep banking the wins. Two more wins should officially secure finals qualification.

Very pleasing to see us flex our muscles multiple times when St Kilda challenged us.

Can’t wait to see Charlie West’s debut next week

Not exactly a convincing win against an opponent who barely threw a punch last week, but there have definitely been worse performances from teams coming off the bye this season.

It was good to see that we've sharpened up the stoppage work a bit and our inside 50 numbers were better, but the quality of the opposition wasn't as strong so that may have had some part to play in it.

Positive thing is that were not playing anything close to our best footy at the moment (despite the usual Collingwood-loving media flogs saying we were and just barely containing their hopes that we will start falling away), so there is plenty of room for improvement over the next couple of months.

Winning in all sorts of ways. Just keep getting it done. Cream rose to the top in the end.

 

[SuperSub17]

Kicking 16.12 (108) against St Kilda - I’ve seen that somewhere before

 

[Seedsman_]

Great win in the end. It wasn’t pretty but we improved through the game. Nick was sensational.

 

[Knoxy]

Clinical win. We're in cruise control at the moment.

Up the Pies!

[Soaring Magpie]

Solid win, had to work harder than we probably thought.
Good response when challenged, shows how good this side is.

 

[Exambolor]

5/5 in my tips and Pies won how good

Nick broke another tagger.

That was a better rundown than the North game, we got that hard fought practice we needed

But still burn the tapes and move on lol

 

[SuperSub17]

Not at our best tonight but still heaps of positives.

Nick awesome workrate to beat the tag

Lipinski fantastic on return - best game in ages

Cameron huge

And another week of Dunstall crying

 

[VinnieB]

Saints, thanks for the Membreys....

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Good teams find ways to win when they aren't playing at their best.

Bad teams losing to bottom 3 clubs when they're not playing at their best.

Nick Daicos next week vs the hard tag:

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

A grinding win, with our team strengths and stars just too good in the end. DC was awesome, Nick had one to put the critics back in the box, and kicked more than 100 points.

Hope Beau is ok.

 

[upnsmoke]

Saints have good talent, just need to figure out how to win games out. Comes with maturity and a couple of veterans on the field.

 

[jimmy35]

Nice win after the bye. Worked their way on top like they do.
Bet the game day thread was a beauty with bile, abuse and vitriol as usual. People think it’s a video game I’m sure.

 

[swoop42]

For most of the night it was like dancing with your sister, awkward and uncomfortable, but in the end we pulled one from the flock and the evening ended on a high.

 

[whiskeytown]

Short of McReery injury… perfect outcome for pies

Iron sharpens iron. A too easy run to September would be counterproductive

Credit to them… St Kilda played their best game in weeks.

Pies got a good contest and the win

 

[Ludovico]

Always a good night when you come away from Marvel with the points.

Put last years' shocker to bed, did what we needed to put them away without ever seeming to be in full flight.

Lippa was sensational. Nice even effort all round.

Now it is time to pay for the footrubs beer and snacks provided while I got to watch the game. Mattress action is demanded and debts must be paid in full.

Nasiah is a gun, they’ll be in trouble if they lose him

 

[JoinDate]

Essendon lost.
Geelong lost.
Carlton lost.
Collingwood won.
Pretty good weekend so far.
