To be better than cloke up forward is no real mean feat when you are a 28 29 year old. Tarrant in his last few years at the pies was no better, plus he didnt even want to be at collingwood , so it was really a win trade for the pies regardless, medhursts few years at the pies have been far better than tarrants at freo.

Yes, if the umpires have anything to do with it. Oh wait, they already have. If this game results in Collingwood making the top four or having some advantage in the finals an investigation should be launched.
What... you mean like having to play Geelong, St Kilda, Bulldogs and Hawthorn twice...
Ok then
Well done, u beat last years wooden spooners by 1pt with assistance from the umpires, ur going really well
So that means they'll need alot of investigation into the treatment of Reiwoldt week in week out!
FWIW - IMO the umpires from today should be sacked immediately... nothing made any sense at all
Still can't get over the holding ball decisision where the Melb player was pinged as soon as he was grabbed and before he had his chance to get the handball off...that was dodgy.
The bump to Neon in his side, hip and shoulder...called in the back after he dove. many many more.
21 man team would be more effective than any 22 man team with Reid.Medhurst had an AA year, Reid has just broken his way into the side and Tarrant is a year or two away from retirement, don't give up your day job champ.

yeh cos Collingwood are such a great finals side.
Not up there with the top six, will battle it out for 7th or 8th. Umps and easy draw will get them there i suspect.

Reid was ok, maybe bordering on below average, but he wasn't our worst out there.
I'd still give him time, can't sack a player after he has played 1-2 AFL games in defense.

At least when we have injuries we can still manage to make the finals, last two years are good indications of that. Hawks on the other hand had all the excuses flying last year and when you really have a good look, they still had a lot of key players in their team through out the year.
Have finished 4th 6th and 4th the last few years , so i cant see us slipping. Not that its anything to brag about , anything less than a flag is a fail. Just depends how big a fail.
We have one of the hardest draws this year , so you will be eating your own words, when we still make the top 4 and push for a flag.
I love this!
Collingwood win by a point to easily the worst team in the past few seasons and it's....great to get the 4 points, hard to get fired up for these type of games, we're all happy!!!!
It's funny how when Carlton smashed Richmond everyone said that the opposition was $hit.
Collingwood are going nowhere with the likes of Lee Brown, John Anthony, Fraser, Cloke, Toovey and Wellingham. Oh and Maxwell.....does anyone actually rate that dud??
The dogs had been hit by the flu.
I hate Collingwood as much as anyone but for ****'s sake it's April.
Those that don't think the Pies will be nearabouts towards the end of September are kidding themselves.
On a side note, Brisbane were slammed for selling their future by giving away bugger all for their new recuits. Picks 14 and 30 are looking damn expensive for Jolly and Ball.

Jolly - Plays well in a good system? Do collingwood not have a good system? Has one bad game and now is no good, excellent assessing there. Thomas - Good skills, body too small?? You could be describing guys like Mitchell, Davey, Power too name a few. So fail.
Davis - no heart? He was the main difference for the pies in the final quarters.
Fraser - his not injured so I don't understand that statement.
Ball - Again Ball was not injured and played more than last week.
Maxwell - Yes his a good leader and no he is not a terrible defender. Today he made some blues but even the best of them make mistakes. Having Prestigiacomo out doesn't help.
Sidebottom - again with the too small, he wasn't too small to save the game in the last seconds when his last ditch spoiled saved the game.
Beams - again with too small... are you dwarf? Do you have inferiority complex, were you need to now vent out against AFL players. By the way how do you rate Foley?
John Anthony - actually Anthony is a no trick pony but he scored 2 goals in a 1 point win.
Toovey - even here you say 'just gets a game' and you still fail. After today he should be dropped.
Cloke - He isn't going missing because pressure is on he just isn't playing very well so far. Not presenting enough, not enough one percenters, etc..
Medhurst - inconsistent, yes one correct sir.
Of those players you said are good players Didak was poor today and Swan was nullified by Macdonald. Swan is certainly no Ablett. Swan and Lockyer although they had a bit of the ball they were hardly damaging with disposal.
I do agree that Collingwood just lack that extra bit to make them a premiership side, although I wouldn't discount their chances. If things go there way, other teams have injuries, get favorable umpiring decisions, then there still a good chance.

You guys should be ok. Every other team you play has flown up and back across australia a few times when the most difficult trip your team will have had is getting stuck in a bit of traffic on the way to the game

Ill highlight the ones that would get a game at the blues, for a team that has two focal points in a sub ten gamer in henderson and a 27 year old irishman, i think brown anthony and cloke would get a game quite easily.
Toovey would be borderline ill be honest
Fraser is nowhere near good enough to take eitheir of your ruck spots.
Wellingham wouldnt go that bad in the blues side, would probably add a lot more in terms of defensive pressure in the midfield which is something the blues lack.
Maxwell was AA so im pretty sure people do rate him , he would be great at the blues and probably woulda given the help jamo and thornton needed with a third man up to kill the contest against the lions the other night, which is probably what cost you guys the game , missed bower lots
You realise it doesnt shock pies supporters that we nearly lose to 'underrated' teams or even lose , we have been doing it forever that i can remember. So why wouldnt we be happy if we get the 4 points , better than losing isnt it ?

As long as you dont meet the Dee's in the finals.
Seriously though, You had a full strength team, Melbourne didnt and you still needed the umps to get you over the line. the pies are known for occasionly playing above themselves the 07 premil and the 80 pt win over the cats in 08 for example. thats what rd 1 was.
There wasnt 6 clearly better sides than Collingwood in the last 3 years, this year there is. 7th at best.

if you can find physical proof of any dogs supporter, player or Rodney Eade saying anything like that apart from the umpires bit, then we shall eat humble pie...
