Should win this one at Deakin.
The girls are starting to gain some form back.
Tipping the Pies by 10 points in this one.
I have been to Deakin ground and its very modern and even the grass looks fake.
Kind of synthetic grass type.
pretty new faciilties as well.

Collingwood belted the cats at Deakin oval final score is:

Collingwood 45
Geelong 1

Just finished now
All star performance
Next match at VIC park I think
Pies now into 6th on the ladder and healthy per cent

[Dark Beanie]

Big win for the Pies.

Pies 6.7.43 defeated Cats 0.1.1

Goals: Fowler 3, Sansonetti 2, Clark 1
Top disposals: Anthony 20, Ingram 19, Porter 17
AF points: Fowler 89, Ingram 85, Remmos 79

Pies could have won by more if not for quite a few OOB on the full shots on goal. Very windy at Deakin and both teams struggled when the wind picked up in the 2nd half.

Not a great game for skills with heaps of stoppages.
Remmos lead the way with 12 tackles followed by Ingram with 8.
