T Merrett. What a silken footballer. He and the Cats' Goggin just about owned the bullet like stab pass.Piesnchess wrote:Donny wrote:Eerily similar to that most famous '58 GF win.
My 2 elder brothers and a 12 y.o. me listened to the game in the family FJ.
At 3 quarter time, my brothers were predicting a Melbourne win.
At the final siren, guess who was grinning from ear to ear.
Mate, i was too little back then, but my older bro and Dad went to that 1958 GF, bro was 12, and after final siren, heralding the biggest upset in League history, bro ran onto the G, - you could do that back then - with thousands of crazy Pies fans, an slapped Thorold Merrett on the back. !
Post Match. Pies win for Bucks. All comments, please.

Those were the times weren't they Piesnchess!! I recall running out on the ground after the siren at Vic Park, determined to touch Peter McKenna. And I did (Also danced with him at the Collingwood Annual Ball ).Piesnchess wrote:

People,have been saying all year that this is the worst Collingwood side they’ve seen,but I don’t see it myself.I remember the Shaw years where we would get absolutely thumped on a regular basis.This hasn’t happened to this side.In fact our biggest losing margin is only 30 points,and we have a pretty decent record against top 8 sides if you check her results.So yes,the team has a lot of work to do,and a lot of improvement to make with the list,but it’s far from the worst ever.

The talent is there with only a couple of holes to be filled somehow, but its the game plan that's been lackingdoriswilgus wrote:People,have been saying all year that this is the worst Collingwood side they’ve seen,but I don’t see it myself.I remember the Shaw years where we would get absolutely thumped on a regular basis.This hasn’t happened to this side.In fact our biggest losing margin is only 30 points,and we have a pretty decent record against top 8 sides if you check her results.So yes,the team has a lot of work to do,and a lot of improvement to make with the list,but it’s far from the worst ever.
Also keeping Eliot and DeGoey on the park for more than a couple of weeks would be handy

Oh I agree re IQ. Will need to watch the game again, but I recall a brilliant mark by IQ in the final quarter when Melbourne was coming. Good on the young lad - great career ahead of him.Pies2016 wrote:Wonderful victory against the odds
One player who should be singled out for praise is Quaynor.
He obliterated Kozzie. Quaynor was very fumbly last week but he was superb today.
I sense this win and the bye will set us up for a better run home.
There will be some belief and it will be interesting to see how Harvey maintains the rage.
The only player I'd drop from today is Madgen. He is a great trier and I applaud him for that, but his decision making is woeful. Kept kicking it out of defence to wherever Max Gawn was. Sigh.
Doesn't matter in the great scheme of things though. We beat the ladder leaders!!!!

Won by 17 v Melbourne
Lost by 1 v Port Adelaide
Lost by 1 v Brisbane
Lost by 10 v Geelong
Lost by 16 v Bulldogs
If we won the Port and Lions game Bucks would still be there...

Please see my previous comment Dave. I just want Bucks to be given credit for teaching the current team how to defend. I believe this foundation will make the way forward easier for the next coach.Dave The Man wrote:The Change Needed to happenPyreneesPie wrote:I believe that this will be the biggest mistake a Collingwood has ever made, letting Bucks go.

I’ve said this all year, we are a much better team than 16th, today proved that.eddiesmith wrote:The talent is there with only a couple of holes to be filled somehow, but its the game plan that's been lackingdoriswilgus wrote:People,have been saying all year that this is the worst Collingwood side they’ve seen,but I don’t see it myself.I remember the Shaw years where we would get absolutely thumped on a regular basis.This hasn’t happened to this side.In fact our biggest losing margin is only 30 points,and we have a pretty decent record against top 8 sides if you check her results.So yes,the team has a lot of work to do,and a lot of improvement to make with the list,but it’s far from the worst ever.

Today’s performance (surely can’t be explained by emotion only) and players’ comments about NB and recent form are making the Club look stupid.
Like, what have they done and why?
Looks outwardly like the football world, except obviously the board and football manager, don’t get it.
