Game Day 2nd Preliminary Final VFL. Collingwood v Footscray (2.40pm see OP)

[ClaytonM]

I am still here.

Left at three quarter time though........pathetic and unacceptable effort today by all involved especially Tapping.

Did Tapping play particularly badly today? What position did he play?

It is his job to get his players up for a shot at a Grand Final........he failed abysmally.

Anymore smartarse questions?

 

[frizzle]

Thanks MB you rock, even if the boys didn't

 

[MagpieBat]

Dry your eyes mate, you have Batman Day to look forward to tommorrow

I like you. Let's be friends!

 

[CFC2010]

Great work MagpieBat your efforts are appreciated mate.

 

[Yezeha]

I guess it's only fair seeing as they defended our fourpeat for us.

 

[Yezeha]

Anyways, autopsy thread anyone?

Why don't you google it!

 

[DWil6]

Wow, didnt the arse just fall out of that side.
Really, no excuses for losing by that much. Sounds like we turned up our toes when we knew we couldnt win in that last qtr.
End of another wasted year

Not sure you'd want to look at every season where we don't win a GF as a year wasted. It's very hard to win one. Hence the best teams only having 15-16 over the life of their clubs.
Makes for a pretty dismal outlook if you can't deal with not winning the flag every year.

No need, we were buried today.

 

[Gymnorhina tibic]

Where is BringBackBrad? And did you see Ben Long today?

Full Time.

Collingwood 9.8.62
Footscray 27.19.181

GOALS - Howe 2, Gault, Borthwick, Collopy, Phillips, Hellier, Crocker, Oxley

And so falls the House of Tapping.

Over to you...

Amazing that 243 points was scored on that quagmire today

Appreciate all the effort you've put in during the year MagpieBat - love your work!

 

[Maggie5]

I like you. Let's be friends!

Thanks for all your work this year, sad note to end on.

 

[Daicos Daze]

Oh well they had a good season in the VFL
We got touched up today by a better side, cast aside our injuries
It was a gallant season for the Pies
C ya all at Vic Park next year
Go pies
Bye Witts

 

[Vicky Park]

C ya all at Vic Park next year

Yep, I already miss it.

 

[Ducce35]

Gault, Golds and Witts should not b on our list next year. No upside at all

 

[Maggie5]

Yep, I already miss it.

Makes me laugh looking at your signature.
Can't see anyone going near it with 18 teams, equalisation etc. The Hawks did really well for three.

 

[TradeDraft]

It certainly will care more than those who left at half time.

Go away for a while and calm down. Interesting trade period coming up. Save your spleen for that...

Good Happly have a rest as I getting bit sick of Footy and Footy Boards lately

 

[legendstatus]

Well this was the full stop on what was a disgusting season. What an disgraceful, embarrassing finished to the year!

Where did i mention grand final?
As a whole, this club has underachieved yet again.
Right or wrong?

 

[ppoiter]

Ouch. Been away for a while, just saw this result and how the senior season finished. We'll do better next time. Missed you all by the way

You said after that loss that it was a wasted season. So making a prelim is a waste? Be prepared to be disappointed a lot in the future. I assure you we wont make a prelim a lot more than we will.

Cheers for your work this year. I didn't mean anything personal today and didn't know you had personally made up the list of available AFL players - I just figured it came from the club. I still reckon Sier was a waste of a pick, but that has nothing to do with the hard work you put in to keep us up to date on the VFL. Apologies if I offended you in any way.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Firstly huge thanks to MagpieBat
Just brilliant input every week, keeping us all up to date.

Second, regardless of a dissapointing result, it is the reserves. It's all designed with a look to the future and depth for our main team.
So (not) surprised that some get hives because, boo hoo, the result is not what they want.
Seems like just another excuse to bash someone or the club etc. not sure what's gains by that?
It is after all only reserves football.

Good luck to a more successful 2017.
The future belongs to those that prepare for it.
