With his mum?He’d be in the stands
A couple of first round picks, one of which would have been eaten to match a bid on Quaynor. 2018 they kept, but Smith didn’t play any games. 2019 was on traded to Port who took Georgiades for Port’s 2020 first, that was then on traded to the dees. Not sure where that ended up, possibly eaten for academy points??Ridiculously good trade!
Who did Brisbane get when we traded Beams back here?
Are your ears ringing ?I have been luck enough to go to 6 Grand Finals. (Including a non Pies GF) and this GF is the best one by a mile.
What a game, the pressure the intensity and being at the game to feel the atmosphere is something else.
I day I will never forget. Go Pies.
Yes, I can't sleep. Watched GF replay on Foxtel.Are your ears ringing ?
Astute observation and one we should call him out on. I've listened to Whatelely and King every week and was shocked by his taking the in the GF.Just a word to David King......Kingy, a couple of months back, you told the world that the Pies were definitely going to win the premiership. He said that the AFL could stop the competition then and there, because the Pies were a certainty for the flag...
As time progressed, you lost a little confidence in your own judgement and started to get shakey on your pronouncement. You began to favour other teams in the race to the flag and ended up selecting Brisbane to win on grand final day....
And so the lesson for the aspiring expert is to have confidence in your own opinions. Dont second guess yourself. Stick to your guns and most importantly, stick with the Pies.
Are your ears ringing ?
To be honest, Pies in the GF played like their old self.... very similar form to when King made that prediction. 28 shots at goal, 5 or more different goal kickers... while having elite tackling and defense.Astute observation and one we should call him out on. I've listened to Whatelely and King every week and was shocked by his taking the in the GF.
Time to make him stand tall on the carpet and explain why he didn't have the cojones to stay with our boys through the end.
That having been said, watching the Grand Final here in the USA with my daughter donning my throwback Graham Wright #19 jersey, and I an ancient training short sleeves Magpies shirt, we held on 'til about 1 AM our time in Arizona to witness and experience all of the same feelings and emotions expressed in this thread. To have the match unfold, the way it did, was the only possible way it could plausibly play out. Play the minutes, play the moments, play down to the lowest possible time denominator. Win or lose, that is the footprint of a McRae coached Collingwood Football Club and it paid off yesterday. What a magnificent team effort, with spots of individual brilliant play, against a gallant, worthy opponent in a match where there were no losers, but only one team could win.
My daughter and I have been official members since 2016 and we are both proud to be a part of this magnificent entity which is our club. To win our 16th was the greatest achievement in the 40 years I've followed the Magpies here in the USA.
I won't add anything about the players as each of you have summed up my thoughts, in one way or another. But I knew our club was going to change for the better the moment Graham Wright was hired as the GM. I loved Wrighty in his playing days and he was an important cog in that 1990 Premiership Club. His managerial expertise, over the years, is evident at every stop he made en route to his current role. Yesterday's Premiership victory was the culmination of his brilliant strokes of genius in rebuilding the Operations of the Collingwood Football Club. I am grateful for every player, coach, assistant and staff member, but it all started with the GM and his strategy. Thank you, Graham Wright!
Peace!
