I will make a belly button lint sculpture of your nudie run.

I may need you to provide the lint though.

100% Denim.

I was at work all day but keeping tabs on the game.

Collingwood remind me of Homer Simpson when he decided to become a boxer , just taking punch after punch till they tire then go for the killer blow.

First game I haven't watched live this year.

Despite being nearly 24 YO, my daughter is careful with her language around me.

I received the below message from her during the game.

Seems I avoided another mini-cardiac episode. About to get stuck into the replay.

This. Fkng. Team.

I can't deal.

I don't see the problem with "That was FUN, ED", unless you don't like your daughter calling you Ed?

 

[Chameleon75]

This team knows how to entertain. A couple of exciting seasons with minimal injuries culminating in a flag. How do you improve on that? I know let’s go half rat power for a while. 4 goal comebacks? Yawn, been done too many times, let’s go for a 9 goal comeback at half rat power, now that’s spicy.

Well played pies well played, you’re officially taking the piss now.

 

[the big lebowski]

Well I stand corrected. A competitive performance was more a kick in the guts than non competitive performance.

 

[Chronz]

LDU is a star. We should be doing everything we can to get him.

It was his best game of the year. But he can string together weeks and weeks of mediocrity.

That’s much milder language than from my daughter who was sitting right next to me at the game.

Soooooo. The weekend that Bobby and Lobb lose their blonde hair.

This doesn't seem to be true of this season or last

- thought he had an absolute stinker. Seemed lost at sea.

There was a post about comparing it to 2011 team and Crows game. That team was a machine - 11 goal last quarter? That performance was more breathtaking than today.

Positives - Schultz another small bag of goals, should have been 5.

Good to see Bobby get some reward today.

Jiath I thought in the second half did a couple of nice things.



Negatives - Moore shocking.

Sullivan first half he looked well off the pace. Finlay was poor.

Thought some of Josh's kicking was poor.

Quaynor I thought was poor.

We took too long to move Frampton into defence.

You’re wrong about Darcy. You’re probably not paying attention to our defensive set up.

 

[Exambolor]

This is how close that last shot from Fisher was. A couple more cms to the left and it’s in

Brynn teakle showed to me why we should of taken him in msd for 6 months

That's what I said last Saturday nte...

Nope - today he was terrible - when he chose to go up the field, he didn't impact the contest. Larkey gave him a bath in that first quarter.

Even in the last quarter, kangaroos only goal was set up from a poor handball from Moore that was too high for Noble.

Lucky we had Cameron who could actually get back and intercept mark in defence.

 

[Vankri]

Maynard’s tackle had a sling to it, so the free was there. His arms were free though and no head contact to the ground so shouldn’t go any further than that.

Xerri 100% hammed up the slight contact, then he somehow kicked that shot.

The North player wanted to find the boundary line, he helped make the Maynard tackle what it was.

Yes re Maynard’s action but unless my memory is playing tricks the player before took the ball out of bounds with a spin of the arm so shouldn’t have got to that point.

And just remembered another obvious missed free. In the third (I think), Bobby is around 60m from goals and Wardlaw casually runs right next to him late, completely infringing the protected area. Should have been a 50m penalty and shot from the goal square.

Anyway all this to say as usual with close ends, people with a bias will see what they want to see and forget everything that didn’t fit their narrative during the game. We didn’t win because of that missed 50 which isn’t even one, North had an all-time choke / we had an all time comeback after they came out much fitter and hungrier than us and couldn’t miss goals for 2 and a half quarters. I wouldn’t base my assessment of the game on what some randoms who’ll always pot Collingwood think about it.

Go back and watch the first quarter and then come back and tell me how Darcy could have stopped any of Larkey’s first quarter goals.

 

[Doc1763]

the game thread on the main board is a thing of beauty!! There is one particular Dreamons supporter who is quite upset over the non-50 meter penalty.

 

[76woodenspooners]

As great as it was to get the win and see some great highlights like the Bobby hanger, to be honest I feel for North and their fans after that. Just about their whole list seemed elite for the majority of the game and it'd be crushing to have lost in the end.

And as with every close pies win, nuffy "neutrals" meltdown over any perceived umpiring error in the last 5 min, claiming it defines the entire match, which makes it even worse for supporters of the losing team.

No need to feel sorry for North supporters, they’ve got exciting times ahead

 

[JLC]

I don't have to watch the replay for one of them - how about staying on your opponent and not going up to the wing and getting caught out of position.

 

[stormskye]

2 day extra break, their home deck, against our vfl team, at 19.4 (ridiculous) and still lost.

The planets won’t align like that again for north

I’m jealous of these daughters. None of mine could care less about the Pies these days. Nor my granddaughters.

I’m in Sydney visiting them, and following the game as best I could. But the family all thought I was being pathetic and an embarrassment. Old lady shouting at the clouds.
