Toast Round 19 = Port Adelaide 83-85 Collingwood

[TheGreatGrundy]

Fortitude and a bunch of blokes who play for each other.

There's a lesson in there for some of the pods of puss who post in the matchday thread, who seem to live for the moments they can stick the boots into their own.

Go Pies!

So glad I haven't had access to the match thread the past 3 weeks. Not that I post much in it. To avoid 'pod of puss' status is indeed a relief greatly desired, though I suspect it's an upgrade on a pot of puss, depending, of course, on the size of the pod you've been assigned.

I'm in awe of this team. The never say die attitude is at GOAT levels.

This is a significant win away from home in hostile territory against a fellow premiership contender. It was far from perfect and Port gave us a tough game, but we also showed that we're capable of absorbing extreme pressure and turning the game on its head within a short space of time.

Murphy was the rock of our defence. Saved us multiple times through the second and third quarters when we were under siege by Port's attacking players. He was BOG for mine.

Elliott is the ICEMAN! A player who can kick a goal from anywhere in the most clutch moment of the game and do it on a regular basis shows it's no fluke. What a player he's been for the club.

Brilliant 200th by Tay Adams, and a wonderful selfless act by Jamie to give him an easy open goal and enjoy the spotlight for a brief moment.

I've never seen anything like it. I'm still in awe as to how this team keeps producing this so frequently. We've been blessed as supporters since Fly became our coach.

Onto the arch-enemy next Friday night

Well the people saying they were front runners and couldn’t beat a top team must be having fun right now

We haven’t beaten anyone above us of course……

 

[Doc1763]

He will have a bit to explain to Mrs. Cameron after spending the night being embraced much to closely at every contest by Lycett. Must've been fine though as the umps didnt call any (bar one?).

Lycett should be changed with excessive frottage

 

[Anzacday]

But what about Burton spoiling Mihochek by dropping his shoulder and charging into his back...? Baffled how that could not be deemed a free.

Astounding that wasn’t paid.

A pod is squashable. Something like a pimple.

A bucket-worth is a troubling sort of vision, you sick f***, but I suppose it's an apt description of the matchday thread.

Never tear us apart up our tarps

FTFY

 

[slugger01]

Naicos quiet.....25 disposals, 9 clearances and a goal....

Delist.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I came here to post 2 things.

1. This side is bad for my heart but good for my soul.
2. Some of the posters in the game day thread shouldn't have the face to post here after a game like this. If they can't keep their negativity and bile to themselves until the game has finished then GTFO; you're pea-hearted and fickle AF and have no place in this joint.

Jamie Elliott for PM.

on all points

 

[Vicky Park]

I kept calm and was never worried.

True I swear!!

 

[Doc1763]

the best thing about this last quarter was that Port didn't fall off a cliff at three quarter time. They kicked 3 goal 2 behinds themselves, and looked like they would win on a couple of occasions.
What a great win.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Maynard and SPP face off then jog off in the last.
Like respects like.

That was a cool moment.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Nick Daicos got sat back on his arse tonight. Drew got the points. But, he fought back in the last. Credit to the kid. A great time to get a reality check. The big boys come out at finals. He will learn from tonight and be better for the next hot game. I’m rapt that he had this type of game tonight.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Well done, far too skilful, took your opportunities with superior skill when it mattered.

Don't know how we won. Your team was impressive. Well played to you guys. If we meet in the finals it will be anyone's game on the strength of this match.

A pod is also the collective noun for killer whales

Killer whale pus would be pretty bad, JB

 

[Pie eyed]

Astounding that wasn’t paid.

There were plenty missed and plenty ignored.
Throws, holding the ball for several days, Boak hand balling over his head to get the boundary high tckles hold, front on contact,
A long list.
Pies just thumbed there nose at the maggots.

Hinkley blinked. He subbed out lycett. He then took Dixon/Finlayson out of their forward line. This unsettled their structure and eased the pressure on Moore/Murphy/Howe. They were able to attack more contests. Hinkley pulled the wrong levers.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Our players got a ragged repeatedly.

 

[Black_White]

It was a grinding win against a strong team, and we had a bunch of players who did play great games, like Elliot, Sidey, Murphy and Crisp. Beau had some great moments too. And the belief and skill to finish from the Daicos' and Hill were priceless.

So much heart in this team; but wins like this are bad for MY heart!

There was also that effort from Bobby to get to the ball just before the line on the wing.
You just knew it would have been a free to them for insufficient attempt had he not touched it.

I know exactly how you won and why you almost always win......skill. skill to hit targets and skill to not waste precious shots at goal.

We on the other hand just spray piss everywhere in front of goal.

 

[3rdMan]

Cameron's ruck form has been very strong. Good again tonight. Wish his marking and kicking would return, but his ruck work has been very good.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Just had a little read of the Port thread. Lol. Do yourself a favour. It's highly entertaining & satisfying.

 

[Black_White]

Is Rioli gojng to get a week? Cos what a dog act.

Fox believe a week down to a fine on appeal.

Thanks for the image, a-hole.

I didn't think carefully enough about it before I posted. I even misspelt pus.

I'll try harder to suppress my passion before posting.
