Yeh Collingwood have beaten 3 of the top 5 sides and are 10th, hardly a s**t side. Just need to find consistency.

 

[joop]

I wasn't even the first to pull him up on it..

Don't think you need to jump in and defend him at every opportunity. He can do that himself.

How am I defending him?

 

[RPCB]

Much more concerned about Weitering than the result today. The bye can’t come soon enough, reset and hopefully get some players back.

 

[Sub_Zero]

Got lucky against a Freo side who are hopeless in the wet. After their early season form Pies were seemingly experimenting with players in positions now all of a sudden Bradbury two good wins.

Yeah ok

 

[largebus]

SM melting harder than usual because the Blues lost him a bet

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Congrats to the Pies.

Injury struck Blues fought it out to the Bitter end. Can't ask for anything more than that really.

Great crowd at the G too.

Yeah limping literally to the break. If you offered me 8-3 with mckay and pittonet out for this long I'd bite your hand off

We missed Bam Bam badly today too

Nah not really, bet didn't bother me. I was actually trying to Elmer the Blues into a win but couldn't quite get them there. I think people saying Pies are a good side are overstating things a bit though.

 

[jd2010]

Yeah true at least he is another target we can hit with that kick into the middle. Dow was okay I thought but isn't the size of Kennedy to do that. Gutted we didn't snatch it but Collingwood were the better side on the day. Manic pressure and our lack of personnel lead to us taking the easy dumb option down the line far too often

 

[Art Vandelay_]

our young talent is fine. it's the matt crouches ******* everything up

Forward line is garbage. Thilthorpe, McAdam, Fogarty.

Turf the rest.

Rachele and Rowe are ok.

Meant from yesterday. Rachele will be a gun but didn’t play.

Rowe is bog average imo.

Having the record we have having missed multiple games out of Harry, Pittonet, Martin, Cripps going down at QT in one game and then missing the next week, Williams (recently) is a great effort from the club. That injury record in previous years would have seen us 2-9 or something terrible like that.

Weitering hurts though, we don’t really have cover for him.

the small forwards all get a run through midfield and are good for a goal a game. they cant all be eddie betts.

27 year old 35 games mcadam was the oldest of the forward line, the rest or 19-22 year olds. what are we to expect against one of the best defenses in the comp?

 

[Loonerty]

Pick 3 come on down

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Pick 3 come on down

More than likely pick #4 given North will probably get a PP. Unless you somehow finish below North or the Eagles but I highly doubt that.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

I honestly can see North winning 2 or 3 more games after the bye/mid-season break.

Not so Sure about Essendon.

Eagles defintley have the spoon locked up I reckon.

Didn't Weitering only play about 2 minutes?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Didn't Weitering only play about 2 minutes?

But they were the bestest 2 minutes in history clearly.

 

[RPCB]

But they were the bestest 2 minutes in history clearly.

Yes. They were.

Seems weird seeing " B. Franklin". Am I alone with that thought?
