[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Four players around Pendlebury and he’s untouched.

It used to be skill. Now it's a deep sense of respect from the opposition. (And also skill)

Shut Nick Daicos down no Collingwood

Shut Nick Daicos down no Collingwood

I wish it was that simple. The tigers have had enough success but I’m already sick of the pies without any success. They are so good. Go forward and just score more than your opponent. I would love to see Lyon versus McCrae but we are going to have so many out it’s not really a fair contest. How good is degoey going. Kicks straight and it’s bog. Easy in hindsight to claim you could see it but I like easy. I could see it.

4th quarter gone back to the quality of the first half, bit of a snooze fest

 

[Barrels]

Are you referring to the domestic violence side of that joke? I don't approve of that either.

I just long for the good old days when you could yell out something funny and not worry about who will be offended.

Best crowd shout of all time?

The week after Doug Booth kicked the dog, he was taking ages to kick for goal, and a mate of my grandfather’s shouted “What’s the matter Booth, hasn’t it got a f***ing tail?”

 

[StFly]

Imagine trying to drum excitement for it being close when 1 goal took 15 minutes and there's only 10 miniutes left to kick 4 to zip.

The lack of points is disappointing

 

[Plugger35]

If Richmond can get the next goal it might get interesting.

If the Pies get the next goal it's all over.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

And to the exit I go. I've got to make sure I get a Pakenham train

Now that's racist. For shame.

I didn’t realise Taranto was such an ordinary kick but having said that the afl app says he hasn’t attended a centre bounce yet has 7 clearances at stoppages. Can anyone give me one logical reason he doesn’t go through the middle. Seems ridiculous. Maybe they update centre bounce attendance after the game but I doubt it.

 

[Plugger35]

The Pies will get the win but they have been far from impressive against a depleted Richmond, they don't look unbeatable like the last couple of weeks.

He was always a ball butcher at GWS too, he can get a lot of the ball but also wastes a lot of it and it doesn't look like he has improved at Richmond,

 

[George]

What a waste of 2 hours that was.

You can’t improve skill at his age. You just hope the system makes you look better. It still doesn’t explain no centre bounces. Pies mightn’t have won by a big margin but they did win by a lot of shots. H

Yeah we're going to get thumped. Luckily it's in SA so I don't have to go.

 

[StCicatriz]

Shit game was shit

 

[austinnn]

Pies in ruck crisis oh no

 

[hayes]

Pies midfield: De Goey, Pendlebury, Mitchell, Crisp, Adams, J Daicos, Sidebottom. Not thin in there anymore. That’s deep with a lot of quality, I’d love for us to get there one day.

Imagine adding red to degoey and many didn’t want him. They got their wish unfortunately

Would be taking Bytel’s spot.
Do not want.

I reckon Pies would want to go hard at the flag this year, Pendlebury and Adams would be getting to the pointy end of their careers/ I know Adams isn't that old, but it seems like his injuries are adding up. Crisp looks like he could go for another 5 years.

You missed the sarcasm.
My bad.

Yeh, they have added a few kids but they are a very experienced side with heaps of oldies. Pendles, Sidey, Cox, Howe, Elliott, Mihocek all over 30.Heaps of 29 year olds too. Going to need to make hay in the next couple of years.


I'd be sniffing out Ginnivan if he can't get a game over Hill.

 

[Barrels]

Gotta love that St Kilda Academy goalkicking training from McKenzie…
