I'll be honest: I thought this place might be a bit cheerier!
I really enjoyed the game.
- Big crowd, lots of noise
- 6 Buddy goals, including some crackers like the one near the boundary deep in the left pocket, or the "collect, spin 180, skid through goals" for number 3
- AJ's return, obviously
- McMartin's winner
- McVeigh made a difference and looked none the worse for the recent injury
- Another good outing for Allir, and I though Dawson went well too
I saw it as: even in the first, poor in the second, very good in the third. Not quite far enough ahead to ice it and to the Pies credit, they came back hard. We hung in there, didn't panic, thrilling win.
Sure, it wasn't always a great spectacle. We may be finals also-rans, or even not at all. The Pies were undermanned, but still fielded plenty of talent. And I know we are all still stinging from that Suns loss.
But maybe we just need to celebrate the win.Comment

I had a forlorn hope that the Pies players might all come over and clap AJ off the ground .
How many players have resurfaced successfully after his tribulations?
It was a very special outcome and I’m still incredulous that they pulled it off .Comment

Commentary narrative all night was the heroism of Collingwood despite their injuries. They were hoping for a Collingwood win so they could run with it. When Buddy took that crucial juggled mark late in the last quarter, Darcy was genuinely disappointed it was paid. Showed his bias. Same with some of the umpiring decisions. Commentators all from Melbourne and Darcy radio buddy with Eddie. Incestuous environment.

Wow.
All game I wondered why the hell did they pick McCartin... now I know why.
Happy we got the four points; and happy we beat the colliwobbles. That should shut up a few of their supporters who have been hassling me for a few weeks!!
Seems I was a bit wrong on AJ. I'm gladly eating fries with my words. Where the hell have they been hiding him for six years??
Great win. Great wins make me happy.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Great win by the team on Saturday night - a real heart stopper. Our third quarter footy was fantastic, the other three quarters pretty lousy. I think what this all showed was that we can play fast footy, with quick transition into forward 50. I wonder if the guys thought they had nothing to lose as they were getting beaten quite convincingly around the park and threw caution to the wind. Then when they were in front, retreated back into their shells due to a complete lack of self belief?Comment
