Toast Round 23 = Collingwood 79-78 Brisbane Lions

[bunter]

How many days since your mob have won a final again?
Give yourself an uppercut, flog.

No wonder joe left them, that and he didn’t like needles

 

[KillerMagpies]

To beat Brisbane, TWICE in a year!
Love it!

 

[Jmac3542]

Great to see Fly mentioning Josh has been important since going to half back. Had a really strong 4 weeks there.

 

[bunter]

Let's make a documentary on clubs that don't make finals this year
And include all of the team
Not just 8 and the coach

What about a dankumentary?

 

[KillerMagpies]

This Sidebottom tagging/run-with idea works!!!

 

[upnsmoke]

We all know who said that IQ and Schultz should have been dropped for this game implying they were no good, again questioning the coaching staff and sane logic.... and both were critical to the win.

Advise to that bloke is just to not post in game threads anymore for their own sake.

Great to see Fly mentioning Josh has been important since going to half back. Had a really strong 4 weeks there.

Best coaching move Fly has done all season.
I have been critical of some team selections and sub usage and coaching in general during this season, but Fly had a great day yesterday.
The move of WHE onto Harris, the move of Naicos forward after 1/4 time. Playing IQ off a wing over the last few weeks has also been a good positional change up, but moving him to Lohmann after 1/4 time was very good yesterday.
We love Fly, despite frustrations this season with some choices......

 

[barrackers]

I'd love a tech savvy person to have a NDaicos cam. He is getting held at EVERY stoppage and sometimes tackled without the ball and umps just ignore it.
Meanwhile they are blowing the whistle for your L.Neales and ruck infringements...

Been happening since the dogs game too. Umps just need to call a couple early, but alas. Can Long be the big body we need to create space?

 

[barrackers]

Highlights are up:

Went to put the Kayo mini on when I got home, the first mini they had between Collingwood and Brisbane was the grand final!

Fly's presser

How special was that win?

It's the belief in this group to continue getting up for these games.

How proud are you of Lachie Schultz to step with those two clutch goals?

How pleased were you with the defensive efforts late in the game? Darcy Moore went to Joe Daniher, and Jeremy Howe had an excellent game.

Have you seen any better individual quarter than the second quarter that Nick Daicos produced?

It was a pretty good celebration from you when Nick Daicos kicked one of those goals?

That win keeps your season alive. You have to win next week and some other results need to go your way. How do you see it playing out?

How did you see the umpiring decisions today back at the MCG?

Nice subtlety from McRae about the umps, including slipping it in when not asked

 

[MoreMoore]

Pendles might need a strong preseason.

Or a nap

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Brilliant win, and still in shock we were able to get that done. I thought we were heading to a 10 goal smashing with the score at 40-8 in the first 20 mins or so of the match. Then when Cameron kicked that goal in the last quarter with just over 4.5 mins to go, l thought that's season done and dusted.
Step up the redemption man, "Sergeant" Schultz and Beau. Three daggers to the Lions heart between them, was unbelievable to watch.
I thought moves by Fly, the performances of Moore and Howe down back, the most exhilarating 2nd quarter seen by an individual this season with Naicos turning it on, whilst his brother was fantastic off HB. The discovery of our new tagger in Sidebottom, who has had a very good month of footy, along with the explosive last quarters of Schultz and Hill, all these things combined saw an unbelievable, and what looked like an impossible win.
We our still alive in '24!!!

 

[Anzacday]

Charlie Cameron kicking a goal and massively celebrating, before we go on to seal a win is becoming an enjoyable tradition

Was like the 2011 PF all over again, (opposite pocket though).

 

[BuildEmUp]

I think I sharted when Beau kicked that goal.

..... all the barrackers are a sharting .... ?

 

[jmac70]

What a great night.

 

[partypie]

To beat Brisbane, TWICE in a year!
Love it!

It's three in a row if you want to get all "technical" about it...

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Insane stuff

 

[BuildEmUp]

Essentially it's just Carlton lose tomorrow, we take care of business Friday night and Dockers lose to the power next week.

I hate to say this fellas and fellaettes, but the Dockers won't lose that match. They will have Darcy and Treacy back and the Power are generally pretty Shiite in high pressure games.

Umm, Power did pretty well in the highest pressure game of the year for them last nite ... ???

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Was like the 2011 PF all over again, (opposite pocket though).

Was like the GF, when Cameron kicked that goal to put the Lions ahead with 5 minutes to go, before we had the DeGoey and Sidey goals.....

 

[loki04]

Been happening since the dogs game too. Umps just need to call a couple early, but alas. Can Long be the big body we need to create space?

Yup the dogs got away with murder vs Nick in that game, bontempelli and Macrea literally were picking him up and moving away from the contest at times.

 

[caloschwaby]

If you'd have told me after that R2(3?) Saints game we'd 2-0 the Blues, Lions (and potentially Dees pending next week) - I'd have asked you where you get your stuff from

 

[No SPIN]

Do you think he played well as a whole? His opponent helped Brisbane get away in Q1 Kai Lohman who often burnt him for pace.

He fluffed his set shot. Burnt a couple kicks.

Imo he is not ready and Reef or Macrea are much more AFL ready.

Agree on both Reef and Finn.
I just think they picked Parker to allow IQ to play wing, which didn’t last long.

 

[Kes1984]

Second viewing of the replay since waking up this morning, now underway.

 

[Vicky Park]

Hey Knuckle draggers built this country along with Rock Apes.
It's called passion everyone displays it differently but they all love the club.

I’m not going near your first sentence.

Fans can be passionate without being abusive. There is a difference. And adults should be able to control their worst impulses and leave the hate out of their posts.
