Certified Legendary Thread 🏆 GF = PIES WIN PREMIERSHIP #16 🏆🥇

[Cousin of Daicos]

I wanted Nick Daicos to win the Norm Smith purely so he could get up to give his speech and say:

“Just wanted to say congrats to Brisbane on a great season and to Lachie on his Brownlow.

You can keep that medal though I prefer these two”

Would have gone off lol

Never would Nick be so arrogant. Just the premiership medal is enough to not care about the umpires award.

I've never played footy since I didn't know about it until middle age. I'm still learning the finer points. Would players in Quaynor's position tend to avoid bringing their opponent near a teammate like Cox who was contemplating his free kick ? Cox is known to sometimes take his time deciding where to kick it and may be vulnerable to a smother under the right circumstances.

Only the players and coaches will know the true reasoning why Quaynor moved to that spot.

My view is that Quaynor was getting into the zone position in case of a turnover up the ground from Masons intended kick. You see that the backline tends to press up in the zone which is why it’s very open behind Mason and the goals at that point.

You will also see space across the other wings for the collingwood players to run into should the ball have come back Quaynors way and he switches across to Murphy and I think Markov on the opposite flank.

Doesn't change the fact that that's what I wanted and that it would have been incredible.

It would have been a disgusting comment and ruined his reputation.

Haha we need to plaster this all over the main board to re-piss all over the oppo ants nest

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

We were absolutely dudded with Seven's s**t commentary on the weekend.

Listen to these calls of De Goey's goal. The excitement and passion from every one of them completely shits on Seven's pathetic effort.

Especially considering Maher and Lane are Carlton supporters, but you wouldn't know it in the moment.

Thank god we live in an age where we can easily access other audio sources.

I could watch these radio variety thingos till the cows come home, whatever that really means. Has to be one of the best ever passages of play, epitomising our reliability on the brilliance of our big 3.

 

[Kirby]

On the JDG goal - I think it might be the best passage of play I've ever seen from the club. Well certainly my favourite!

Also, I've heard some lamenting from the oppo supporters out there about how unlucky it was that Dunkley slipped - what a crock. He only falls on his arse because Jordy straight fended him in the shoulder! Then Jordy runs forward but Dunkley made no effort to chase him and Jordy was about 20 meters in front of him when he collected and kicked the goal.

Strick that up your clackers you salty oppo flogs!

I loved how just before that ball up Nick was going to half forward and Pendles said to him "What, dont you want to be a part of this?". Spine tingling stuff. Legendary how that stoppage unfolded now after those words.

Nick is already brilliant, but learning from Pendles will make him even better, and our next on field general when Pendles hangs up the boots.

And the fact Nick was just going to belt it forward before hearing JDG say "to your right"... I hope we get more insights like this in a doco or Fox Footy grand final recall.

Ps I know for a fact that the media team has been putting together a doco on our season. Gonna be epic

Im so content

If only that had been the call on 7, Spine chilling and really captured the moment for pies fans.

I love Huddo as a commentator. Tim Lane is very good too. I still feel sick every time I watch Berry spin away from Coxy and charge forward. It was IQ who got his hands on him and just forced the kick to go askew which saved us. There were many moments like that in the final 93 seconds.

 

[domus]

Im so content

Yes. The sense of peace and feeling that justice has finally been done for our beloved Collingwood is quite blissful.

If anyone wants an entertaining read, head to the gameday Coll v Bris review thread from round 23 Marvel. The doomsayers were rampant that day. Wrote us off. Patricularly a bloke called Prankster. Couldn't win it. Anyone who thought so was delusional.

Bet they're celebrating still though. In fact, one who called me delusional has even changed their profile pic rather quickly

He was probably hoping for a Lions win just so he could say "I told you so!"

it’s up there with the passage of play in the 1990 qualifying final when daicos kicked that goal hard against the boundary

Is it a dream? I still can't believe it. Premiers. Winning a close grand final. Electric passages of play. They can never take that away from us. Experiencing it all with my son. I lost it in the third quarter when we hit the post twice and missed other opportunities when we were all over the Lions. I said " We just don't win grand finals!" as I felt the gods were once again planning another torturous ending.

My son told me to calm the farm. He said he knew I had been devastated many times but this game was not over and this team is different. He actually patted my back and was so calm I almost believed him. Funnily enough he had to get up and leave our seats in the last 5 minutes of the prelim. because he was so anxious.

When Daniher snapped that goal I thought it was going to happen again- especially when Berry broke out of the middle!

I still think Crispy should have had a go at kicking the goal when he took that mark. He was about 55 out and he is a thumping kick. I know Pendles told him to go sideways but he could have eaten up just as much time lining up for goal and was a chance to kick it.

Jordy wasn't sprinting out of the middle. When Dunkley slipped he conceded and jogged behind Degoey.

 

[TW Sherrin]

I'll remember a few things from the GF like Bobby's mark, Mihocek goal near us but the overall memory I'll have will be the clutch goals from Jordy, Crispy and Sidey.

Just ridiculous.

What nonsense. In your weird fantasy, Daicos would have been(rightly) pilloried by all and sundry.

Then at 9min 40 oscar blocks or shoves cox out of the ruck no free.

Comrades, last qtr first bounce free kick given for a block. Can someone explain this. Is it cox put his arm out. One of the softest things I've ever seen.

Could be one of two things - he ran past the ball and made contact (with his leg I recall), or he initiated contact with his opponent and didn't touch the ball (that's why the Big O got away with the push in the back, he made contact with the ball). Was it me or were the ruck contests during the finals executed differently - couldn't believe the amount of holding and blocking that effectively negated the ruck from being a contest to hit the ball.

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

Well that was a pretty fitting way to end 2 years of insanity!

Having listened to Fly last night & watched us over the past 2 years.....i wonder when the comp will actually work out that we have about 4 distinctly different game modes (that i can work out from watching us).
We intentionally don't keep pushing anymore and deliberately go defensive when we think we have enough on the board.
Hence games are much closer than they really need to be.

After our first 5 games last year when we went ballistic all game and ran out of gas by about half way through the third, we changed the way we went about it.

It's bizarre (to me) that the comp hasn't really worked this out yet and keeps thinking its 'luck'.

We legit don't ever go hard in the last 5 when we're up.
When we're down, we just go full attack...which has proven time and time again to be good enough to run teams down.
Other teams don't have the same offensive burst, full attack mode, that we do....so we can hang on when others can't.

Was plenty obvious at the ground on Sat that Bris had no discernable difference in their game modes for the last 5 mins when they were down. Didn't roll extra numbers up. Still kept one back behind the ball, left their fwd line clogged up. Never rolled the dice as a midfield to just run ahead (cheat) and try and win the game.
Literally the same style they played all game.

Fly & co have changed this game in more ways than one. I don't think it's all Fly.
This has multiple coaches fingerprints on it.

Watch everyone copy us next year in our multi-mode gamestyle.
We're hardly a generational team.
But we used tactics that are leaps ahead of other clubs, who only started to work it out in the back half of this year.
