There were seven of us down from Sydney and three from the Central Coast who went down to watch the match.
We had a top weekend visiting Victoria Park and the Carringbush hotel before that game.
I think it was probably the best Magpie performance I have ever seen with such an even team effort. Good to see a big crowd at the new look MCG as well. I reckon that Dane Swan was man of the match although he had heaps of teammates who could have claimed the honour.
The train trip home the next day was all the better for the win.

My first chance to get on since the other night.

WOW! Sensational. What a team effort. Dane Swan and Heath Shaw are coming along very nicely.

Leon deserves a pat on the back for his efforts. Great stuff!

.....the emergence of Josh as the best ruckman in the league. He single-handedly gave King and Ottens an absolute bath tonight.

It might be a little premature to throw a label of best in the league about at this stage, has certainly been very good the last few weeks.

The flag is ours for the taking this year. Forget all that crap about building a side for 2007 or 2008, this is the year we have to grab it while we can. Go pies.

While I think we'll do well come September, there is still a long way to go b4 we start talking flags. Would also suggest that while we are likely to have a good finals campaign this year, it doesn't mean that we aren't building for further success in 07, 08 etc etc.

Great win. I still don't think the team has really hit it's straps and look forward to continued improvement.

The disappointing thing for me was actually the performance of Geelong. I think that the 102 point margin actually flatters them, particularly when you consider the shots at goal that missed and the soft free-kicks they got inside their forward 50. Scoreline does not truely reflect how poor they were and in fact, probably made us look better than we are. Many tests remain.

Excellent report Luke (J26).

Keep up the fine work, as busy as I may be right now, I always have time to read your posts.

I had to suffer the K Rock call too 'the ru is on fire' and I am thankful that it will be the first and last time, but I gotta ask the question, how is it that the AFL only provided coverage from this sorry outfit? MMM were broadcasting, I believe, so why weren't they available for streaming?

That couldn't dampen my euphoria though; what a masterly performance it was. Perhaps the most exciting Pie performance I can remember.
Just irresistable footy.

Next week: In R.Shaw Out: Maxwell

especially love the line about Heath:

"As good as they come, as far as tough, hardnosed, speedy, skilful, unassuming backmen go"

In today's MX, the match report named five best players for Collingwood and SIX players for Geelong.

Oh yeah, the other points i wanted to make are:
- Lockyer did a nice job on Ablett
- Great to see we won EVERY quarter!!! Would've been easy to let the Cats get a few back in the last quarter but to our credit we finished off!!

Bloody wrapped it was great to see our pressure, hardness and skills and such an even effort from everyone. Onya lads! Kill 'em Leon!
