Toast Round 1 = Collingwood 136-45 Port Adelaide

[Pistol Night]

He’s a just a sad little grouch of a man with a face that perfectly matches

The old dehydrated lettuce

 

[Pistol Night]

Packet of chips. We got him for a packet of chips. If Kane has said this once, he's said it a hundred times

Ring up on Fireball Friday and tell him "We got a Mars bar and can of Solo too, suck shit Chad's midget brother" and then just hang up

 

[Pie eyed]

Which is why we were happy to cough up another first round pick for him.
Because he played for Port, many people didn't realise just how good he is.
In real terms, we got him for peanuts, which is another reason Kane Cornes cracked the shits.
Bonus!

Next time we play Port the AFL should promote it as the Cane Kornes Salty Tears round.

Camels Cooch Cornes.

I can’t unsee this as Kane Cornes now. Watching Year Without A Santa Claus is gonna hit different this Christmas

 

[JuniorB]

Maybe we could get Farrell or Bergman for the Mars bar and Solo.

Steele finished fifth in the Copeland last year.

Steele got poleaxed on here in 2021 when he was playing inside mid. But if you were watching he was doing a heap right - he'd win the ball, get into the clear - but we were such a mess ahead of the ball and had a Bucks plan so he'd then hold it up and try to baulk someone else to get in the clear again and get pinged holding the ball. It was 3 times a game and the fans would shred him each time.

Moore was almost back to his best

bobby gets a hug!



what a threesome!!






ouch

 

[MagpieJo]

a few more!
























does that mean they want to leave early??

 

[Carringbush2010]

Did you see Houston? Slight upgrade on Markov ... We've got a better list than 2023.

Definitely not disputing this.

 

[sr36]

Definitely not disputing this.

My take on the list in comparison to 2023 is:

Forward line a lot better with Membrey and Schultz added and McStay fit.
Midfield - similar standard, Probably slightly better - Nick's improvement, Cameron's improvement, Perryman addition, but Mitchell and Pendles probable decline and Adams gone
Defence - better offensively with Houston, but not as good defensively with Murphy gone - but Howe didn't have much of a year with his broken leg and not getting quite back to form. Wait and see on McInness

 

[MagpieJo]

last of em!


























i reckon a few more years should do it!!

Watched the replay last night and McCreery’s game was huge. Seemed to be getting back to provide an option out of defence more than previously. Covered a heap of ground. If he continues to do that it’s a significant addition to our team as a whole.

 

[Thinking Magpie]

I thought Lachie Schultz played a very team orientated game with a a number of hard ball gets and getting the ball out to players in much better positions. His pressure tackling was elite and whilst there were a few mistakes, I think this was his best team game with the Pies.

I think beating the scum by a point and kicking them out of the finals takes some beating.

After the siren as I recall

After the siren as I recall

Not quite, Bombers we beat after the siren.
We hit the front and hung on

I’m still in the ‘euphoric’ stage which follows a win like that.

But what increasingly stands out is how desperate we were, and hard at it. Definitely more 2023 than 2024, and we maintained it throughout the game, in the heat and humidity, even after Port noticeably drooped and gave up. I love that we showed them no mercy. Wow.

It’s a physically and mentally taxing way to play, and difficult to do all through a long season. But if we can bring it when we need it - and we know that we can do it - then wow again.

My only concern remains the defence at the moment

I'm finding that teams still score some incredibly easy/cheap goals against us and for the life of me I don't get why

Even Port as bad as they were (or as bad as we made them look) still scored some really cheap/easy nothing goals which I felt were easily preventable.

It could just be a perception thing but it often feels like our opposititon don't have to work hard for whatever goals they kick.

It's just the style we play. We take a lot of risks and that often requires our players to peel off their man. If there's a turnover, we are usually left open out the back. It's going to happen against all teams. As long as we pressure further up the ground It's not a problem

Please stop having concerns - it won't help anything

 

[Pistol Night]

That's concerning

That's concerning

It's none of your concern

Agree, also think his best is ahead of him

Fairly sure there's no rule here against having concerns
