I call it the White Elephant.

Bang on, that’s exactly what it is

 

[doppleganger]

Pies playing best footy for the year in last couple of games. Bring on the Swannies

. Absolute legend. Love the guy.

Finally put the over-achievers of the year to rest. Take away the home ground advantage and they’d be lucky not to make bottom 4.

 

[Big Papa Ted]

Pies should have won by 60 or so. Absolutely horrific in front of goal tonight, cannot be like that next week!

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Cringe-ass Collingwood MC talking over Mundy's chairing off. Shut up flog.

Pendles actually took him to task and said "Show some respect"

 

[JM#1]

I genuinely feel for Betts, poor bloke has no idea how to lead a conversation, accordingly they have now switched to mainly asking him questions...

Hey, he wrote a book remember. He's obviously very intelligent

 

[mumblingpie]

Think Nick bats for both teams

Yeah should have won by a lot more. Still, probably better to get the inaccuracy out of the way in a game where it didn’t end up costing you… I wish you’d saved the goal kicking yips for next week to be honest

 

[PieLebo87]

Beat them a few weeks ago. De Goey has me nervous though.

Not taking anything away from the Swans but had gastro through the club that week and didn’t have JDG. Think this Prelim will be a pearler.

 

[FreoRicci]

Collingwood never should have finished 17th last year. Their team is still mostly of the 2018 GF squad.
Definitely a real chance for the flag

 

[DarthGus]

Well yeah, I guess I was right. The only thing ridiculous was Collingwood not kicking straight and making this an 80 point belting.

This is panning out just like I thought it would. It was never close to a 50/50 game.

Yea we were never close all night - still the 50 points was never going to be the margin i stand by that. 20 points flattered us agreed though.

Well played Collingwood - another game where we start like deer in the headlights..

7-2-1 away from home would put Freo near the top, I would've thought.

What?

haha, kidding yourself. that was a 50 point smacking right tonight in disguise. game was over at quarter time.

 

[beerbandit]

I can’t believe how quickly I have drank a bottle of red.

Geez flights are expensive !

 

[DarthGus]

nah - we hung in there, just not enough. sure it was close to over, but we have had larger margins at qtr time and won.

you keep telling yourself it was a 50 point margin since thats what you tipped...

maybe go to the match day thread amd read everyone's opinion.

24 scoring shots to 14 scoring shots says otherwise. your goals were in junk time

 

[beerbandit]

Freo a long way from their best, and nervous as all hell even though the game is done.
Would be nice one day to play Collingwood on a day when we are at our best.

Oh my!! What does this post even mean? It’s a semi/elimination. Don’t be so soft.

 

[largebus]

Congrats pies, didn't go full grand final at the end there after all.
In all seriousness thats probably your best performance of the year. Fix the goalkicking and Sydney have no chance.

 

[VinnieB]

Nothing gay about a 3 way.

 

[Freomaniac]

I don’t know why he doesn’t go around again, you only live once and he’s clearly still got it.

I was thinking the same thing. Pav went on In 2016 playing every 2nd game.

I wouldn't of mind of Mundy doing that, just play the Perth based games while young kids are rotated

 

[PieLebo87]

Great guy and player, deserved to finish in front of an appreciative huge crowd

He got a massive cheer from the Magpie army whilst getting chaired off. Not bad to bow out infront of 90k at the ‘G.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

FFS Darcy stop trying to make us think people like Jobe Watson, he's just slightly more liked than you you flog.

 

[Docker Alyssa]

I guess you never know what's going on behind the scenes, but I agree that his performance warrants it

It's merely speculation but you'd think he has to be mentally cooked. He's always been a very chill type of person so you can't tell from his demeanor. Retiring still looking like he can go another season or two at this level?

Seems like the ultimate tell. After all with a season in finals again he'd have got 400 games...
