[think better]

O'Brien would be disappointed with his last quarter - Frampton made some great tap outs in the last and set up a lot of play. They played Dawson behind the ball rather than in around the ball and it showed - we won just about every clearance in the last quarter.

Who else is rewatching the last quarter? 😁

[Take_a_Screamer]

I've watched it so many times, my eyes hurt and I'm getting tired, but...
give me that mouse, I love that fix, I'll watch one more time

[MagpiesTheGreat]

watched the mini/highlights and last two minutes about 10 times now.

Still buzzing from this win. Watched the first half and listened to rest driving to the promised land of Carringbush. We broke Crow hearts and Sacked all churches in Adelaide as I hit the West Gate . Johnny Noble you star , Nick Daicos with the smother, Stainless with the point . Darcy with the Noah's Ark.

Brilliant lads.

Still pumped about the game. Just watched the last quarter again. There are so many bad decisions. It is genuinely hilarious how biased the muppets are. I think this may be one of our best performances ever

Okay, so two days after this game...

Like most I was tempted to get on here and just blast allfuck through those putrid maggots, and their cheating... but as everybody else has covered it well enough in depth, let's just hope those four nitwits as a minimum never officiate together as a unit again, because they just have no synergy or consistency [obviously other than making wrong decisions].
Like most of you, I cannot recall two consecutive games so poorly umpired, yet our boys found a way, and that's the sweetness we can taste, that you just cannot buy.

So down to the nitty gritty, both of these games are two of the best come-from-behind wins we have ever witnessed; so many reasons why we shouldn't have won either, that they defy both logic and probability.
Other than injuries, that 5 day break between rounds cannot be underestimated, in terms of fatigue. Really Essendon and Collingwood need to both approach the new AFL chief [because the still current one is a total arrogant narcissistic flog] prior to 2024 fixture release, and say hey - how about you don't schedule either of us to play a top side from the previous years fixture after Anzac Day, a team from the bottom four for both clubs would be ideal. Anyhoo, I haven't looked at 2024 calendar yet, but it being a leap year, the next 25/04 might fall on a thursday, if so a compromise is certainly reachable.

We saw the Dopers get jumped in first quarter by the Cats and Dunderklumpen, but they pretty much kept with handbaggers for the other three terms.
Adelaide did the same thing, although obvious poor conversion on goal cost them scoreboard pressure, and their coach knew it too.
What concerned me was the clinical precision of their ball movement, general disposal standard and set up around the stoppages; sorry to say, I think it has surpassed ours, certainly until we up our game at least.
I'd be stunned if Crows don't make the eight; they'll claim some more scalps shortly, and should bury a few of the lower sides to stake their claim.

But back to our wonderful Pies - I'm rating the resilience of this list under McCrae, right up there with the teams of 1980/1981 and 1990. Psychologically hardcore, and gutsy.
Even when a player is having an average first half or perhaps 3/4s, he can still have an influence in the final term when the clock starts ticking and the opposition gets rattled.
Quite a number of our blokes are down, yes, for whatever reasons. But all are making critical contributions and 1%ers when the heat is on.
And obviously not resting Sidey on sunday was the difference in the end; very unfair on him I know, but it ultimately paid dividends big time.

So keep weathering the storm Pies, clear skies should be only a few weeks away with troops returning for battle, and some teams outside the eight on the fixture; we've earned that luxury at least.

So you injurygods just go fuckoff and do something else for a while then eh?
Perhaps find another hobby altogether, or simply find another club to victimise?

W6/L1 and top of the table for first time since 2012; Go Pies.

When Anzac Day falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday we should never have our game after at an interstate venue. Why can’t we play Richmond who play on Anzac Eve? The AFL have a principle in finals fixturing to avoid penalising teams with unfair shorter breaks and allow for travel time to and from. Why do they drop that principle when it comes to us in fixturing of the game after Anzac Day? It’s bizarre.

Luv your work piedys.

All this BS on Keays beating Nick.keays had 12 disposals well down on his usual output and did nothing. Nick had 27 and was instrumental in the last.
