and they wonder why some fans are no Re-Signing as Members

It’s not a reason not to get a membership Dave.....just a bit of transparency would be nice.

We’re all big boys and girls here

 

[Go Pies!!!!!]

and they wonder why some fans are no Re-Signing as Members

So members ain’t recommitting because the pies don’t televise the VFL ??

76woodenspooners we are not asking for Steven Spielberg to direct the VFL games.

However dodgy the Bullants coverage on YouTube was (even if you see my exquisite football skills for all of half time ) the simple Pies supporters like me were happy with it.

The cost would be bugger all......two hours average wage to a cameraman.

Did you know I saw two of our employees with two cameras filming the qtr time huddles? My point is we don’t even need to pay for cameras.

Like I said the new CEO excuse is rubbish.

Their has to be a real reason......my bullshit meter is spiking at the moment with your explanation.

Like I said, I’m not disagreeing with you!

Dave, everyone knows that you're a very passionate fan, but these days you are being critical of the club every chance you get. It's getting really annoying, and if you keep it up people will start thinking of you as just another troll. We have too many of them already, so please try to tone down the attitude.

Can someone review this game, I didn’t get to watch it.

 

[TradeDraft]

I certainly wasn't asking for you to do that!

Last night we had one of our most memorable wins in recent years, despite having a lot of quality players missing. For the first time in a long time I'd say there are signs we might be headed in the right direction again. So there's a lot to be happy about at the moment. It would just be nice to see everyone around here acting like we're all on the same side and starting to be positive about where the club might be heading.

True though might have rest from here. Computer getting Hot with Heater On

It rain, it was cold. We led at quarter time and we lost at full time

Folks best players please?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Folks best players please?

That would require 1 a crowd and 2 conditions where the players could be recognised!!!

Probably one of those days where individual form lines go out the window

Folks best players please?

They haven't been named as yet, but this is from the article on our website:

Big-bodied inside midfielders Brayden Sier and Rupert Wills relished the tough conditions to be among Collingwood’s best players.

It was a tough game for Daniel Wells to return from a hamstring concern, but he performed solidly across the first three quarters before being rested in the last.

Experienced AFL-listed players Chris Mayne and Jarryd Blair each impressed for the Pies, with a goal each and plenty of good touches in the middle.

Folks best players please?

Difficult day for it between the conditions and the lack of any 4 quarter player. McLarty good first half, Blair, Appleby + Mayne good second quarter, Chippendale + Smith good last quarter, Sier + Wills more noticeable in the second half, but they may well have been amongst packs in the 1st half and difficult to pick out in the wet.

Oversells Wells' output, I think this from the AFL website is more accurate

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-04-14/injurycursed-pie-wells-gets-through-vfl-comeback

Stats for the game are not available until Monday but Wells was not a prolific ball-winner in the Magpies' 16-point loss to Port Melbourne.

 

[swoop42]

Obviously not a day for high scoring or eye catching displays but it's still a let down not to get a win after last weeks pummeling of Carlton.

Yeah thanks, I just read that article. It is pleasing that he got through the game okay, but it would have been nice if he'd played a blinder and given himself a chance of senior selection for the Anzac Day game. It sounds like the conditions made it difficult for anyone to really stand out (apart from Lisle, I suppose!).

I think the VFL play again next weekend, so if Wells performs well enough he should be a good chance for the Richmond game at least.

 

[soreplums]

Given the conditions and him returning from injury, I am just happy that he got through some match conditioning. Would have been nice if he was on the end of a couple or set a couple up, but he will be better for the run.

 

[Bored_Pie]

Brayden Sier again performing well. Love it.

Get another VFL game in to him and he’ll be a good inclusion for someone tired for the Richmond game.

No point him coming back for Anzac Day as there is no way he could back up a few days later against Richmond.

Better to bring in a few fresh guys for the richmond game like Wells

How did Fasolo go?

Brown and Crocker are going quite well but you’d expect they would be the ones going out for Wells and Elliott when they are fit. Not sure how Fasolo gets back in barring more injuries.
