When WHE cleared from the goal like, I thought it was gonna be intercepted. HARVEY TO THE RESCUE!!

Major heart in mouth moment

Major heart in mouth moment

literally right in front of meeeeeeee - I nearly died, again

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

You may be right, but the real answer is; does it matter why?

On your other point; Reef came on and kicked a goal almost immediately and looked about 50mph faster.

Everything matters on bigfooty

 

[Knoxy]

But it didn't feel like a comeback was on the cards because North were scoring almost every time they went in and couldn't miss.

I've never seen anything like that in my time watching football

I personally have never witnessed a team have literally everything go their way and still lose after being 54 points up.

Not only that, they even got back in front after we got in the lead late.

Like...literally every known football metric and past precedent says we had no right winning that game. Just unfathomable that we won that

Yeah I don't disagree with you. Just a general feeling I have about games these days. I've been conditioned to expect us to win.

I think the structure looked much better after half time with Frampton going back and Howe going forward.I don’t know why Fly persists with playing Frampton as a forward.It never works.And all it does is expose Darcy Moore

,who let’s face it is not a good one on one player,and is having a pretty poor season.I thought he was especially bad today and nearly cost us the game.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Credit where credit is due, the middle of the ground battle actually swung our way when Sidebottom went in there

 

[Exambolor]

I was at the game and right behind the goals so saw those final minutes right up close.

How the hell we pulled that off I don’t know!

Bobby and Shoota were fantastic. Shoota has always been capable of these games where he kicks a bag with the team on his shoulders. Did it a lot at Freo.

And Bobby and Freddy’s marks were both smooth as butter, the fly and the landing

 

[Jen2310]

How the hell did that happen lol

Bonkers really.

 

[Black_White]

Well, we tend to have the better result when I go back to my normal glass half empty self

Because I went in confident and look at what the hell happened at the start

Haha, no problems Cuz.
Just when I saw it during the game I thought I might screenshot this one.
Many people have a shot at the game thread, but I love it.
So much better to get those feelings out immediately instead of kicking the cat/dog/girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/TV.
The thread is great for our mental health.

Amazing. Didn't see that comeback coming.

Oh me of little faith

Thought the Same after our Terrible 1st Half

 

[Aucklander]

I guess we did get lucky, but then there were multiple calls during the game which weren't made either.

Once again though this side showed what they're made of. 54 point comeback was amazing.

 

[Doc1763]

they were still 44 points up with 4:30 to go in the third, just before Freddy's goal - just unbelievable.

 

[Moore of the Same]

McCreery onto LDU was good bit of coaching as well. Really important win.

 

[1eye]

Would a pig need to fly for the pies to land LDU. Very good

 

[Magpies Swoop Ya]

There’s a Tsunami & that was a “ PieNami “ aka the PieWave that just kept on coming wooooooo !!!!!

 

[TradeDraft]

It's a hollow victory to be honest. Don't get me wrong, you'll take the points. But deep down, you know we didn't really deserve them.

Agreed.

Really we should not won from out Appaling 1st Half

Lucky we playing a Basket Case in North Melbourne

 

[bunter]

Hahaha, happy 200 Bruzz. Fukcing classic!

Seems to get overlooked with our current form but yeah, Darcy has the same form he did for the first six weeks last year, only this time its run all the way to round 14. And its just not the goals from his direct opponent, its the goals scored directly off his turnovers which worries me the most.

I have no doubt he can turn it around again, but his form is a genuine concern.

 

[Pies_10]

North fans whinging about the umpiring but forgot about the free to xerri amongst other decisions to them in the first half

 

[Vicky Park]

One of the more bizarre games in the history of, well, bizarre games.

Against my better judgement I read the Game Day thread, and now I'd like to complain about it.

Sure, I could ignore it, but where else can I find such delightfully vile and hate-filled posts about my team, written by fans of my team? Its to be treasured for the abomination that it is.

And its not a competition between those who thought we'd win comfortably and those who warned it was a 'danger game'. There's no moral victory to be had. We all carry mountains of Collingwood baggage - we just find different ways to deal with it in our pre-game anxiety.

Reigning premiers versus bottom of the ladder - so what? Let's just rejoice in this amazing team and club, and the fight we have in us.

 

[cfc19902010]

Sidey huge influence late
Overcame young north mids and really hard at it

 

[partypie]

Kreuger speccy in the last minute

He had a number of ground ball contests where he didn't let the ball get away into opposition hands inside our 50 which probably went unnoticed as well, despite the skinny stat line I was happy with what be brought to the table today.

that was a shocker
