Toast We triumph over Swans 80-73

[offtherails9]

Clarke did a great job on him, but once Sidey was struggling to get into the game, l would have moved Sidey deep forward, and take Clarke with him, and put Clarke under defensive pressure.

Yeah, did Clarke follow him in the second when he went forward though? Think he stayed on the wing.

Probably would've been handy for him to have 30 tonight with the midfield a little depleted but alls well that ends well

Winning ugly is way better than losing pretty!

I’ve been a vocal critic of Brown and Phillips but am coming to realise that I judged Brown too early. Sorry Cal! Not Phillips though - he’s still a panicky fumbly turnover merchant who isn’t improving.

Adelaide could offer there whole team for Grundy and I'll still say "Not enough".

They have nothing to offer us that I would even think about.

Grundy is the best player in the League, by some distance now.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Give credit to the crowd for no boos towards Pendles.

But I thought it was inevitable that if a crowd feels like the umpires robbed them of the game they would 'boo the umpires' during the presentations and every supporter base would do it?

 

[raymond35]

Grundy is a beast!

The best ruckman of the last 50 years.

Interesting call. Better now than Monkey and Charles. Is he better than Moore and Thommo? Moore, possibly. I could never bring myself to say anyone's better than Thommo.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Depleted with injury we still find a way to win. Callum's best game for the Pies. The injury suffered by Wells was heartbreaking, especially since once again we saw what he can do.

The Wells's injury was always going to happen.

 

[Mazza1234678]

Grundy is the best player in the comp right now

No hyperbole

 

[Laird]

BIBLICAL PERFORMANCE.

Feel ashamed I tipped Swans.

We are Gods mate! Never doubt us

 

[frizzle]

Take the 4 points & run. Was always going to be a big ask with selected side & somehow they got it done.
Grundy is unbelievably good.

 

[JOELY]

Something's up. Quiet song, empty rooms.

Is it Wellsy?

Probably. Hoskin-Elliot looked like he was about to cry after speaking to him.

 

[30yearpie]

You know boys. I think I'll add Maynard to the better player list. Got us out of a lot of dicey situations and had 18 disp off half back

 

[Moore of the Same]

Great win on the road, on a ground that we don't play particularly well and with so many out.

Grundy is putting together a legitimate brownlow year. Has put together a compelling case as not only the best ruck in the comp but also the best player in the comp. Superb. Irreplaceable. Pay the man.

Pendles is an absolute legend. Couldn't ask for a better leader and is having a sensational season for us.

Still a little concerned about how easily Steele can be shut down for large periods of the game. Need to get a little more creative with how he shakes the tag. Beams is the other one that worries me because he looks like a shadow of his former self and gets exposed going the other way.

Really feel for Wells. I hope it's not a serious injury.

 

[Ricky90]

Really underrated game by Aish.

Stood up in crucial moments. And was generally clean and even at times creative.

 

[Mazza1234678]

Id be throwing the kitchen sink at grundy and let moore go if I was the footy department

Once in a generation type players cannot leave in free agency

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Happy to win but flat with the performance. Some pretty average intensity from some of our name players tonight and our usual wasteful kicking kept Swans in it for way too long - but great to see Brown, Wells, Greenwood and Aish stepping up. I can't see Madgen ever being AFL standard - Wills perhaps.

Pendles was fantastic tonight and unlucky to miss out on the medal , but can't argue with Sam Reid. He just had one of those nights.

Wells seemed happy at the end - hopefully a good sign?

 

[jmac70]

I bagged Wills in the game thread but he got a great handball away late in the last

We keep both.

Grundy is the best player in the comp right now

No hyperbole

By a considerable margin.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Out : Wills Reid HoskinElliot Madgen Wells(injured)

In: Sier Cox De GOEY Moore Adams

Make it happen. Please.

 

[Kappa]

You mean like when Ablett left Geelong? And when Buddy left the Hawks? And when Danger left the Crows?

 

[Doc1763]

His effort at that ruck contest was superb.

 

[grayza2018]

Happy to bank the four points there, fair old scrap

Shattered for Wellsy

 

[MagpieJoel]

Hats off to:

Grundy
Pendlebury
Greenwood
and Wells

Roughy.

 

[Dynamics]

Probably. Hoskin-Elliot looked like he was about to cry after speaking to him.

Bugger.

I mean, I'm not surprised at all to see him get injured again, to be honest. He's an old man in footy terms, after all.

But he's obviously well liked by his teammates and is one of the most gifted players of the last 20 years.

Watch this space I guess.

 

[Mazza1234678]

We keep both.

impossible

out of de goey, moore and grundy one will go
