Fremantle won the hitouts 59 to 33. They had doubled us for clearances, early - but Collingwood hit back and actually won the clearances 45 to 44 (stoppages +2, centres -1). |

Brilliant!
Great team perfomance. Still lacking depth, having those few players back was always going to be important.
Very well coached and a milestone I reckon in terms of discipline, determination and ability to execute.
We will still be up and down, but that shows them what they're capable of. _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

That's it!!!! 👍 Been trying to work out why he strikes me as being familiar somehow (and it's not that he has a brother playing elsewhere). Thank you!! |

Huge win, didnt expect that all.
Darcy Cameron enormous with his marking in wet conditions
Fantastic for Oli Henry, hopefully he isn't dropped again
backline held up well, thought all of them Moore, Howe, Noble, Q, and Maynard were all great |

Win for the ages. Wasn't sure if we could continue the road warriors thing that started in 2002. Well here we are. _________________ Get back on top. |

Even though I am an advocate of tanking with honorable losses, that was just wonderful for the boys.
So glad Henry got his head together. I couldnt understand people calling for his head last week - despite his kicking he was clearly our most dangerous forward.
I reckon he could be a Matthew Lloyd for us (and don't care what u all say, I loved the velvet hammer).
Wrapped for Fly and the players, we have ourselves and A grade coach people. One that has success written all over him. _________________ Buon Giorno |

Great team effort.
No passengers today.
The wet ground got us down and dirty from the get go.
Blue collar Collingwood is good.
So good to see Olly Henry have an immediate impact once subbed in and get the monkey off his back from last week.
Along with last night's election result, this win makes the world a better a place.

Great effort all round. Some great defensive efforts from Noble. Tyler's best game. Looking forward to Brown v Silvagni in the ruck next week. Henry - breakout game, shame he missed that last one. Crisp and Lipa were great. Josh shaded his brother this week. Sidey's best game. Pendles and Adams did the hard work. |

Best win under Fly as coach.
Complete buy in by the whole team. Guts and pressure ruled supreme.
Obviously Henry and Crisp will get the main plaudits, but for mine, Noble was magnificent. Lipinski was great and it was Cameron's best game so far. I've been a harsh critic, but I was impressed with Tyler Brown today. I have a feeling this might be a turning point for him, though I'm not sure there's a long term spot for him as a 2nd ruck.
Adams was a warrior as well. Gret stuff Pies. Now hit Carlton with the same ferocity next week! |

Best win for the season easily. That was a hard, tough, desperate performance. We pressured their ball carriers all game and gave them no time and space. Our discipline was excellent and aggression was focussed. It was so good that I expect a let down next week, sadly! Bad timing perhaps.....bring that next week if you can please.
We went over there with no expectations, nobody gave us a chance, I certainly didn't think we could win. But, you could see early that we were switched on and the weather conditions really seemed to help us as we are no good in the air usually and managed to control the game at ground level. It suited us. Subbing Cox out for Henry was pivotal.
Probably one of the best games I've seen from Noble, IQ, Adams, Henry, Cameron, J Daicos and even T. Brown. So many guys had career Top 10 games I'd say. But, more than that, we really clicked as a collective and our midfield flow and overlap was smooth and very precise.
We really controlled and dominated this game from quarter time onwards, was a complete team performance. Well done lads! _________________ RED "BABY" CAVANAUGH: Didn't hear what the bet was.

Last years runner up are on the same points, slightly higher percentage, they have not beaten any teams above them, this brave new team have beaten 4th and 5th, gutsy effort! _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Great win, shows yet again how overrated a ruckman is and spending a million a year on one is sheer lunacy.
Fantastic to see Henry bounce back from last weeks shocker and redeem himself. Our small and medium forwards look fantastic, we really are one key forward away from a gun forward line.
