Toast Round 17 = Western Bulldogs 77-89 Collingwood

[Rooosterboy]

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

I would love him at the pies, amazing

 

[3rdMan]

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

Exactly. He moves like Buddy but has a better leap and hands. JUH could be something special.

 

[Doc1763]

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

only went at 75.9%, needs to tidy himself up!!!

 

[J Albert]

Jamarra. What an absolute gun.

This team though. With three massive ins to come back. It has to be our year. We are scintillating

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Heart-in-mouth first quarter, was wondering if we were going to take an 'honourable' 3-4 goal loss at a ground we seem to hate playing at.

So great to see us score 12 of 14 of the next goals. Especially Q3 which - this year - seems to have been our worst quarter.

Our backline looked gassed Q4 and we couldn't get a D50 exit to save our live. But so happy to see the midfielders crack in and squeeze the air out of the game enough for us to take the dubya.

Extra mention for IQ who is the last of the V8 interceptors.

Pendles - hard to love you more, and then you do things like this. What a champion.

Go Pies.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Nicky D!

 

[frizzle]

great win, despite them kicking the last 4 - at Marvel, no Bruzzy or Checkers trailing 5 goals to 1 early in the second, I'll take that.

Don’t forget no Sidebottom either.

 

[mocamagic]

Quaynor scratchy start but then superb for the rest of the night

 

[3rdMan]

Thought this was one of Crisp's better games of the year. 26 touches, 9 score involvements, broke the lines and some tackles.

 

[jimmy35]

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

 

[mblack42]

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

Felt like an almost game from him. Tried hard but nothing seemed to go his way tonight. And some games are like that. On the flip side, could very easily have had a couple of goals with a bit of luck.

 

[Go Woods]

Exactly. He moves like Buddy but has a better leap and hands. JUH could be something special.

He is so good to watch, glad he missed a couple tho.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Good win.

How is WHE?

 

[Didak Wine]

Jamara is quite a player.

 

[TradeDraft]

Probably deserves its own thread, but our kickouts after an opposition behind are atrocious. If it's not Nick, we have one plan - kick it long and hope for the best. I'd say our retention rate is well below the 33% you'd expect.

Anyway. Good to get this one in the books. Who's next?

Spot On

We just Kicked Long and Hope

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I would love him at the pies, amazing

He’s a quality player. Has great hands and clearly a player on the up.

Goal kicking is a little iffy, but the tools are there for him to be one of the best forwards in the comp.

 

[BigVic]

2 wins this season at a ground we usually don't play well in.

 

[legendstatus]

Yeah 4pts but seriously need to kill off teams or it Will be the death of us

Meh game for me

Move on to next week

 

[stormskye]

I said awhile ago I’d take JUH over king. Kids got more of a rounded game. Gonna be a star

 

[HFF]

Very good to turn around being jumped in the opening term against a side who is always good against us on that ground.

Elliott back in form the last few weeks is awesome to see.

Daicos boys super.

Very good from Ash Johnson too —he took his chances perfectly when needed and was our best of the three talls in attack.

Pendles…the applause/ovation of every touch he had after the record was broken was a thing or beauty.

 

[Doc1763]

WHE, broken hand

 

[TradeDraft]

We won by only playing a Qtr and a Bit.

Hated we tried to Ice the Game with about 10 Minutes to go. Always ask for Trouble

Backline played the Worst I seen all season. IQ going no where near him and even Moore at times gave Naughton too much Space.

N Daicos just Dominating ike he does. De Goey was Good in Return Game.

Cox and Hill where Frustrating as did not Finish well in front of goal

Elliott looks like he back in Form Again.

Johnson was solid with 3 Goals

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

WHE maybe a broken hand, according to Tom "Breaking News" Morris

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

In the post-game Leppa put the late slowdown to two 6-day breaks in a row, a good point.

 

[TradeDraft]

Bianco nearly won the Game for the Dogs
