You were right behind us once again.

Just showed our pressure rating for the last quarter. 131
That's one of the lowest on record. Are we even trying?

Pressure rating of 131. No team wins football matches with that lack of effort.

It's sport 101, don't throw the toys because your opponent plays to the best of their ability.

That was a stressful game to watch.

The Crows played hard all game. The umpires were abysmal but we got that hilarious call in our favour at the end.

Commentary all week will be “Absolutely the Crows were robbed RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME”

100% and nothing will be said about the 1 they got a minute earlier In our forward 50. That crows guy was tackled fairly, dropped the ball and got the free, wtf was that for? The biased commentary furiously continues over the game without even mentioning that kick or what It was for, nearly cost us the game. **** em, some how we won, still don’t know how, thought we were cooked. No commentary on us being two down either In an already depleted forward line, they just hate us which makes this one so sweet.

Distance tracker - Lipinski 15.9km, Crisp 15.3km, Naicos 15km
Maximum speed - Hill 32.8kph, Richards 32.4kph, Schultz 32kph
Total sprints - IQ 35, JDG 27, Schultz 24
Repeat spirits - IQ 8, Richards 4, JDG 4

IQ's best game season to date.
Schultz great defensive pressure, kept moving all game.

Everything conspired against us. We had no right to win that with essentially no forwards once Reef was subbed out.
It would have been an honorable loss. Turned into a phew win

Spot on , No Elliott, checkers, McCreery, Reef off, yet we still guts it out, got the chocolates. Crows are a damn good side, for sure, same as last season, de ja vu. Take the victory an run with it, learn from the errors in this match, take the lessons, and onto next game. Yeh, pleasing win.

[Clifton Hill-Billy]

Phew that was intense. Umpiring was deplorable nothing to us countless holding the ball not called, head high fend offs by cows players right in front of the boundary umpire. Hilarious that Rankine got called for the travel which won us the game, eat that right in front of meee ferals

[stui magpie]

The crowd at the Central Hotel in Port Douglas went off when JDG kicked that last goal, never in doubt.

[Johnno75]

But but………….he didn’t run too far umpire!!!!

Was the dry from an Adelaide player….Right in front of me!

Where did you get those stats - very interesting to see repeat efforts from players.

[Pies2016]

It was a great win because we were generally poor.
Ordinary foot skills ( Pendlebury aside ) for the reigning premiers and a restricted bench doesn’t generally lend itself to winning games against decent opposition. Yet we still found a way to get it done.
Loved the move of DeGoey starting as a forward ( 26 touches, 10 score involvements ) dragging his defender up the ground and losing him in traffic around the middle and then burning Keane off on the way back. Key defenders hate being taken out of their goal square comfort zone.
As long as we have control of the centre square, I would hope we start DeGoey as a deep forward more often. Might preserve the groins too.

[The Black and White Lion]

Just to reiterate the Pies put Carlton out of the 8. And at this point now right in time we've jumped to 4th on the ladder.

[Johnno75]

To be fair we did very well to win but more importantly put ourselves into a position of 5 goals up so we were able to hang on. Adelaide were very smart in switching the ball to the far side and using the width of the MCG our players struggled to cover the area especially in the last, no wonder the pressure dropped away. It was remarkable we even found a way to get a goal to win after falling behind. Some of the new boys found it hard to run out the game which was understandable they will be better for getting the miles in their legs with the amount of pressure.

Cox is a major worry yet with our injuries to our talls he is under no threat of being dropped.

That was a stressful game to watch.

As opposed to most of our other games?!

As many of us noted in the pre-match, recent history showed this might very well go down the wire again; and sure enough:

Today we won by 4 points.
Ironically, we have doubled our winning margin against them each time in our past three encounters?

So that's 12 points we've collectively beaten them by over the last four encounters.

They just gotta be due to beat us next time!

Like the Carlton v. Melbourne games of 2022-2024: these are ones to watch for a cliffhanger!

Just happy to win today with another decimated interchange bench.

[Johnno75]

Just to reiterate the Pies put Carlton out of the 8. And at this point now right in time we've jumped to 4th on the ladder.

That’s a story I’ve seen before. We are ranked #1 in AFL for knocking the scum out of the 8!

[LaurieHolden]

Just to reiterate the Pies put Carlton out of the 8

This is the real result we were looking for...
