I'm happy with that first half. 25 points up. We really should be further up with the amount of footy we've had. Didak's looking deadly and Rocca and Tarrant are starting to take grabs thanks to the amount of footy we are getting through the midfield. I can't see why we can't do the same in the second half and run away with this game. Signs are good. C'mon you Pies :!:
go pies!

OK quick update for those not seeing the match.

Very good first half for the Pies but they are certainly not home yet. Plenty of skill errors still occuring but at least the run off the half back line is back. Johno been very good as has Clement and O'Brien. Lockyer alose doing well with Swan as link men thru the middle. Fwds have done really well. Loads of pressure (Dids, Tarrant and Davis) which is causing the Kangas to turn the footy over on our HF line or if they do get a kick its not finding the target.

Fraser and Richards been strong as has Bucks although he has made many skill errors. Licca turned over the footy a couple of times which cost us and Thomas missed one he should have drilled (as did a few others).

Most of our blokes have touched the footy but one wonders how committed Cara is. Couple of times he chose a softer option.

We would be much further in front of Sav had not kicked 3 goals in 2 mins half way thru the qtr.

IN summary - game not over but we are the better side to date (touch wood)

I just saw that dive from Buckley. That is deadset pathetic. Everyone calls Lloydy the biggest diver in the game, but not even he's that bad. I normally respect him, but that was just absolutely shocking.

OK 3/4 time update............

Collingwood exploded kicking 8 goals to completely wreck the Roos who kicked 2. 108 to 54. Tarrant now has 5. Sav 5 for the Roos.

We smashed them in the middle of the ground. I said at the start of the day to win we must win the footy and use it really well. Well I have just witnessed our best skill display in years. The only bloke who had a skill clanger was Licca who missed the goals all together from 20m out although he was a on sharpish angle.

OBree, Tazza, Johno, Lockyer, Clement, Holland, Didak, Maxwell, O'brien, Wakes the best with Lonie closing down Wells! Fraser doing well with Richards doing great in the ruck with his tap work. Bucks solid but not spectacular.

9 goals up and touch wood we maintain the rage!
