Post match. Pies King hit Tiges in thriller - All comments

[drfranger]

I ay this as a Collingwood fan who hates it when people just get all negative but we do have to face a few facts from that stinker.

First of all the skill level just isn't there at Collingwood at the moment.

Remember the side of the last two years 0- think of how every handpass was dead on - not yesterday.

They really need those more senior players currently missing.

Collingwood need to be sharper.

And for every loser bagging Rhyce Shaw to no end, stop scapegoating him for every game since the Grand Final.

If played half as badly and made as many mistakes as Shane O'Bree I reckon he would be lynched. And can sopmeone tell me how Woewodin is earning his salary? HE's worth keeping but he is not anywhere in the class of many of our other midfielders - many of which I'm sure are getting payed less.

Nice effort from Davis - I havenb't heard his constant detractors so much lately.

Just remember - with a few workable wins and losses in other games it's only another 8 games in a row for premiership 2004!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joffa - get over your high moral bullship..

we fell over the line against a team going nowhere who are looking to lose so they can keep their beloved extra priority pick.

Even after this we still only just won.

Remember we coughed up the Carlton and Melbourne games.

Joffa - you gotta be realistic and look at the Collingwood team with a sense of truth. Richmond are crap and we just fell in after being 4 goals in front with 5 minutes to go.

Not just use it as a chance to get your noggin on the television.

You are an egotistical maniac.

[Presti35]

Zoiks!!

Anyway... I'll give the Pies credit for playing with 3 first year players while missing half the side. Should have won by more than 5 points, but thats the way the cookie crumbled.

And Maxwell is gonna win a Brownlow!

And you my friend are one of the many reasons why this board is going down shit creek so quickly.

You come on here ( moderater approved ) and slag everything collingwood
and you love it...your a disgrace.

But the good thing is we dont have to tolerate your crap, you bag me for praising collingwood on a collingwood board and yet you get away with it .

Oh how we long for the old days when good old mike had major control in here.

Its really the end for this bulletin board if moderators and other posters consider your crap worthy of reading.

The good thing is i dont consider any or your crap worthy of reading

BYE NICKS !!!

[michael]

joffa - dont leave nicks..just put him on ignore, makes much more sense besides, hes bound to get himself carded again in time

[BBHS]

you could'nt be more spot on with the assement on maxwell there. this kid has composure, skill and suprising pace which he showed on saturday.

where has he come from? rookie list? sensational pick up.

and what can you say about cole. that run he did that resulted in the walker goal was sensational, it's clear that this guy gets better every game he plays. got a bit excited the second time but a player that will provide pies supporters with highlights for years to come.

sam newman gave j cloke 3 votes for worst on ground on mmm. what a wanker... I thought he did a great job on richo who had 10cm and about 15kg on him.

[Proud Pies]

Joffa, everybody is entitled to an opinion, so you don't agree with MMF's opinion, so what, you don't agree with anything Tess says either, but that's no reason to 'slagging off' Nick's. It's provided you a place for a long time to have your say, but now that your 'other' BB is back online, you know, the one that gives you your own Column, you crap on this board.

I for one am truly befuddled, you say many times, we have to stick together, well what a load of crap you spin if that's your attitude.

The moderators on here do an excellent job and it's all voluntary, they are the ones who got this board up and running again. But, of course this board isn't as good as a board that lets others use foul and disgusting language to get their point across.

Bye Joffa.

And this is in no way support for MMF, but it is in support of Nick's!

[Lazza]

Proud Pies, with all due respect, I fully agree with Joffa. Posters like MMF only ever see the negatives and totally refuse to entertain the FACT that a very young, injury riddled and gutsy Collingwood team got up and won when the chips were down in an AFL game. If THAT is not praise worthy, I'll happily go & post elsewhere too. All well and good keeping the language here family friendly but that is NOT the point. I dont think your retort to Joffa was very fair or acceptable as a Nick's moderator. As for MMF saying that Joffa is egotistical, he could not be further than the truth. Maybe it was a statement far more reflective of MMF?
Ask Magpie Greg or Tess about me, I'm a long time Collingwood fan (not a Johhny come lately) who says it as I see it and I think that MMF's reply to Joffa and your defense of the same was disgusting and not a good reflection of either us Magpies sticking together or of a person who is a moderator on this board. I think Joffa deserves FAR better than that.

Lazza, are you a moderator on this Board?? I didn't see your name on the Moderator list for GD and i certainly am not a moderator, nor would I want to be, but if you read my post properly, I was NOT defending what MMF said at all, I WAS in fact, defending Nick's. My final comment itself in my post said that, so perhaps you should go back and re-read it.

Joffa's comments about Nick's and the moderators was what was disgusting, i don't care what he had to say about MMF, as I said in my opening paragraph, it was his opinion and we are all entitled to our opinions.

Please re-read my post.

[jeff corfe]

To be honest personal attacks dont bother me if i was terribly worried about what the likes of tess and MMF and some others said about me i would of lynched myself ages ago.

I am an old poster on nicks board long before certain others came on board dont dismiss what nicks board was once all about and dont deny the history of this board and what it as achieved.

Boards like this should be used in a positive manner to rally together and encourage ideas and when one has a legitimate complaint he or she has a right to air the complaint with maybe some positive flair.

Continued personal attacks from posters to other posters have diminished the excitement of what nicks was once all about.

Moderators should get together at the end of season and have a bit of a chat about what a lot of people are saying ive been to games all over Australia and people are asking 'whats happened to nicks board' now if that makes me the big bad wolf for speaking the truth well so be it, it doesnt really bother me.

You have one of the greatest fansites of all time it has been respected by people at club level and has been the envy of other fans who have seen what true togetherness means they have seen us come together on this board and achieve things they can only dream about.

This board has shaped and improved many many things associated with collingwood and the spirit of getting things done whilst supporting collingwood.

Of recent times it is no wonder a lot of us are searching for a new home free of personal insults and negatveness which only destroys and tears apart.

Im just a bloke who loves the pies i dont want to get tangled up in all this personal crap that freely gets chucked up a fair bit around here but i believe that as a long time poster on nicks board i have a right to address these concerns.

In closing i say once again have a good look around and reinvent or discover that magical thing from not so long ago which made this board magical in itself.

If what i said is to judged as the ramblings from some egotistical monster well so be it.

Cheers
Have fun

Joffa, I can't disagree with what you say, however, being a BB, Nick's is open to anyone to have a say, whether anyone else agrees with it or not. If MMF ever has anything sensible to say, it's probably lost amongst the overwhelming amount of garbage he posts. He has the right to say as he pleases but I think most people just ignore him. It would be a good idea if you did the same.

I also think you need to understand that events often prove the catalyst for a positive change in people's original negative opinions about something. BigT, for example, was so clearly affected by the team's stirring win that he's changed his mind on playing for a priority pick, and I think it's great of him to admit that. It has happened before and will continue to happen. If you have a positive outlook on the 'Pies, then you just stick to your guns, mate, until the Unbelievers see the light!

Joff, we all know you wear your Collingwood heart on your sleeve and that's fantastic. There's a place on here for you, too, so never lose sight of that, either.

There is no such thing, outside of a cult or nazi website, as a bulletin board that is free from human emotions such as pride, jealousy, anger, love, fear, lust, scorn, togetherness, cynicism. It's a reflection of humanity.

A good bulletin board keeps posts to a family-type atmosphere - where you can argue with your brother or sister but in the end you are still family. You are accepting of that. If people cross that line and prove they are not of the family then sure, BOOT THEIR SORRY ASSES. (Ee-aw)

You need to post here Joffa to get back into the direction where we are at. Like going anywhere, its no point looking back - why do you think the magpie logo changed from backwards bird to forwards bird? I can think of many exchanges (including some that featured your good self) in the past years (yes before i registered to post i loitered here quite often, as i'm sure others have) that were a lot more circus than what the MMF group has provided us with.

could only listen to the last quarter on the radio, lost 10 strands of hair in the last 2 minutes King ' the ocean grove lifesaver' sealed it good on ya mate, fantastic for a young blokes confidence. Well done to Brodie who's battled hard all year, to set it up. This win will gives us some steel for a hard one against the shockers - all I ask is one thing boys. Remove Jeff Farmer's teeth with pliers, slowly!

[FunkyPieMaster]

I can't believe some of the comments going on here. I was impressed with the win, yes it was closer than it should have been but our team was missing so many quality players and we were up against a full strength side.
This team had less of our first rate players than in round one when the bitches creamed us. To see some of the younger players stand up and be counted was a real pleasure to watch.
Maybe I see things a little differently as I am a Sydneysider who don't often get the chance to watch the Pies play. A bunch of 8 of us made the trip to Melbourne for the game and I can tell you there was no way that we were disappointed with the result. We got to see Luke Shackleton make a debut, an excellent perfomance by Woey and Johnson, top goals by Lonie and Leon and of course the efforts of a young Mr King. To see a frustrated Matthew Richardson at the end of the game also added to the spectacle.
By no means the perfect Pies effort but considering what we had at our disposal our boys still came up with the goods. I considered this match to be a real danger for us no matter how shithouse the Tigers can be. At least they showed that they could come back after being down for a large part of the game. Those who think that we should dog it for draft picks miss the point - we want to see our boys make an effort regardless of ladder position. I would rather be in the position were were at the siren than the sad Tigers.
