Roast Well done Geelong

[BlueOyster]

its unfortunate for the pies fans that the herald sun pump them up so much and give them so much press that other fans resent this and always wait for their downfal (see main forum). they are a pretty good side and apart from a few nuffy supporters (like all clubs) are well managed and run and will have a good year. definatly not easy beats and always look forward to the next showdown.

dominated us last night guys, well done.

hope to even the ledger later in the year though

ON my lazy 4 hour drive home from the game last night, I had time to think about where we really are on the pecking order.
The only real chance of the Pies winning the GF, is if someone else is lucky enough to knock out Geelong in an earlier final.
You have a GREAT team and another premiership this year will surely make you guys one of the greatest teams ever (if your not already there).
Well done just toooooooo good, simple as that.

its was NOT a great game, just like us versus hawthorn wasn't a great game. There were constant mistakes. both teams were far off their best

 

[danielnajdek]

Congrats guys You were way too good for us once again.

Shite, i copped an absolute earfull from 4, seemingly middle class pies ferals during the 3/4 - got accused of being a mouthy C$%t for cheering on the hoops? Was pretty funny at the end when i stood right behind them and belted out the Australian National Anthem - Geelong i mean!!!

Fair play to them though as they didn't knife me!

Just to good last night and proved why you are the premier team in the competition have to admire your composure under pressure.

 

[Exhale You]

We had a massive influx of idiocy from the Collingwood board throughout the week so it's nice to see some gracious, honourable Pies fans acknowledging the win.

Well done, lads.

The mid week stuff was just a bit of banter Your teams clearly the best so good luck to you.

Early in the season yet. If a bunch of cocktards like Hawthorn could beat us in 2008, anything can happen.

Could you imagine such 'banter' being allowed on your board? I'm tipping there would have been more red on show than at Anfield.

The preview thread was a testament to the quality of our board, the tolerance levels of our posters and of our mods.
We've also been largely gracious in victory, a trait rarely seen on Bigfooty.

In summary, we're awesome.

Crickey Cats, when are you going to slow up and give the next tier a crack at a flag? Stop hogging it will you

But seriously you guys are the best team I have ever seen! Awesome stuff.

What is a worry for the rest of the competition is you don't even look like slowing up in the immediate future. You have a whole new generation evolving right before your eyes, to be led by one of the most courageous in the comp, Joel Selwood.

I grew up barracking for the pies, but now live in Geelong. I'm nearly converted!

 

[Stazza71]

Why are they being nice, is this a trap?

Nah - -We just respect you guys -no shame in falling short against the best.

 

[Turbocat]

The truth is the Pies just didn't take their chances. 2.12 after half time it could have been very different game if they had kicked straight.Over this Geelong period teams have usually only beaten us when they nailed their shots and when they got their chance they kept going.
As Will Rogers said "Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back in."

I thought that's why it was a good game. The mistakes were caused by two teams putting their opposition under heaps of pressure, both real and perceived in front of a nearly packed house at the MCG. What can be better than that?

Agreed.

Interestingly, watching the replay today Tom Harley said, during the intro, that "mistakes are tolerated, and even promoted" at Geelong.

On face value most would find that statement baffling but it's the sign of a brave, strong and confident football club.

He who dares, wins.

you must be mistaking us with the carlton board. ours is the most tolerant towards opposition supporters and even trolls, and believe me we get a lot.

anyways i agree with your second paragraph. and it applies to real life, not just bigfooty.

Pies are always dangerous and a team to be watched and admired. i remember the years of the black and white belting us senseless .
As a life long cats fan, we are blessed to be able to follow this team and i for one am soaking up every minute of every record,win etc we accumulate. To be honest, it would be greta for supporters of every club to get to feel what we have over the past 3.5 years, its un bloody real
