Toast Round 17 = Western Bulldogs 77-89 Collingwood

[Deleted member 133504]

Id be mad about the finish, but we gave them a three goal head start. Could see them one stage having a 7-8 goal Q1, and absolutely destroying us sans the flu. Well done Billy and AJ for good returns, and the Daicoi for raising the rusty roof

 

[jimmy35]

Scratchy start, Darcy particularly early looked off. IQ as well but warmed to the task as the game went on.
showed some Pie power and drifted off late but banked another W.
God help everyone when we hit our straps for the full game.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Strong team effort across the board. Pendles a legend.

We got challenged and rose to meet it and overcome it. Seemed to take the foot off the pedal a bit coming out of the back, but as long as we dont have serious injuries a W is a W. It's July, bank the points and keep going.

Go Pies!

Congrats Pies fans, cracking game.

Nick Daicos was and is extraordinary.

is very classy.

We’re pretty much done for the year I think, so hope you guys can go on and win it.

Special mention to Ugle-Hagan. What an elite talent, he will be a champion.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

We rose to their considerable challenge. They are a very good outfit. Very pleasing to get the win because we were a bit shaky in a few areas tonight I thought.

Nick Daicos just continues to be an over-rated stat padding seagull. Makes me sick.

So good to have Degoey back!

 

[thebaldfacts]

Great win after conceding an early lead. Put the cue in the rack too early in the last, but a good learning lesson and gives Fly something to work on.

 

[lenny20]

Never like to sink the boot in, but the only reason they got close was Bianco. He burnt two for us and set them up for two of their own to really turn momentum their way.

Highlights, however, were Quaynor, JDG finding touch in the second half, Johnny Noble AGAIN, and Nick ****ing Daicos seamlessly becoming the best inside midfielder in the comp. Taught Libba (who I've got as AA) an absolute lesson.

Bruzzy, Checkers & Sidey to come back in next week!!!

 

[ipswichpies]

I did not like the way we dropped off but if you had offered a 2 gl win at the start I would have taken it and I would now, they are not easy to beat at marvel and they were ready to play tonight.

 

[Vicky Park]

We are having some sort of season. Nick is above and beyond what we could have realistically anticipated, and Brownlow favourite at 20. Pendles’ record. A will and ability to win when we are missing key players and have others down on form. And we’re flag favourites. I thought 2022 was good but 2023 leaves it for dead, and it’s not over yet.

 

[Monco Matt]

That felt like an 8 goal win not 2 goals. Switching off for the last 10 minutes was frustrating when you just want them to be ruthless. How good would it have felt to crush them in the last 5 minutes or so.

When the game was there to be won we smashed them which is the important aspect.

I really hope that when finals comes around we will unleash proper 4 qtr efforts and not put the cue in the rack. I'm hanging my hat on that.

Another 4 points to solidify our Top 2 spot, this is probably all we need to be focussing on. But, I'm greedy and want blood!!!

Congrats Pendles on breaking the record for possessions. The record breaker was a memorable chip kick sideways I think, maybe backwards.....brilliant!!

Great win! Carry on.

 

[mwhop]

Cox was off the boil tonight but he kept presenting, impacting and making opportunities. That's what makes him a genuine top grade player.

I reckon you'll sneak in

 

[Doc1763]

Pendles looking a little embarrassed!!!

 

[Football God]

How well does he speak?!

Hits the right note every time

After that intense game and talking in depth about the cause with stats on it in Australia.

How many captains would actually remember to add that in?

Inspirational leader.

 

[3rdMan]

Amazing game from IQ. Continues to build. Great intercept marker for a 180cm defender.

De Goey was scratchy in the first half but had a big impact in the second half.

Cox and Frampton struggled forward but booth did have moments in the second half. Mase just didn't quite finish any of his.

Have to say Cameron was great in the ruck. Outplayed English for mine.

similar to what he said on ANZAC Day, he's just a class act

What a happy bunch of blokes singing

Who wouldn't want to be there?!*

Even Gil is in the rooms sniffing Pendle's liniment




*Ollie you d*ckhead

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Just give Nick the premiership cup now!

I hate it when Pies supporters show this kind of Hubris regarding the premiership. Do you not know our history in Grand Finals?

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

My God, "Roaming Brian" is embarrassing. Bobby couldn't escape him fast enough.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Good match which I thought was a danger match. For the bullies that juh will be a star

 

[jimmy35]

Special mention to Ugle-Hagan. What an elite talent, he will be a champion.

Buddy like mobility for a big bloke but awesome overhead. Huge talent brought along nicely by the Doggies.

 

[3rdMan]

Nick's 11 clearances, most for a Pies player this year.

 

[Looney]

We kicked 12 out of 14 goals at one stage. Why are people surprised there was a fade out late in the game?
