Did your husband cry and did you laugh at his pain?

Look I must admit I really wondered about his inclusion several weeks ago but today I thought he was very very good, Could be a Josh Gibson type! 

Well done young man! Happy to admit an error of early judgement!^_^

I would kill for such discipline.  I would be wealthy.  I'd have a body like Usain Bolt (a white one).  And I wouldn't frighten my little children when I watch Melbourne.  Hats off to ya Rusty.

 

 

I'm also not getting any younger Pink and was also extremely nervous so recording it helped me turn down the tension a little lol. This was win or die for this club IMO today. Thankfully the former!

Some useless stats for anyone interested....

We had 18 players with under 100 games today. Pies had 12. They had 10 with 100 or more...we only had 4. Doing ok. Next trade i would be topping up with some solid more experienced players if they fit the mix and have serious talent.

"First quarter and a half was some of the worst footy I've seen us play and we were on track for a 3 figure thumping.

To our credit our effort improved and we showed good fight. Our skills around the ground and at goal hurt though (8 goals 11 to 10 goals 4 after quarter time) and we were too stagnant.

If Melbourne supporters are happy and pumping themselves up after that then they're kidding themselves and will never be anything other than a bottom 4 side. Had we turned up for 4 quarters it's a different game and probably a different result."

It's a river in Egypt.

If the Pies only have 1 or 2 wins and drop that game as well, Bucks being the first coach to go is actually a distinct possibility.

Eddie will hang on to him for as long as humanly possible.

To sack Buckley will be to admit to a blunder in forcing Malthouse out.

I don't think it was a blunder forcing Malthouse Out , Carltank supporters will back me up with that  ascertion!

Frost was good today but would be good if u could take a bloody mark consistently. 

It wasn't that long ago that one Max Gawn was in and out of the side, lacked confidence and had butter sticks for fingers.  Last year a switch finally flicked during the Geelong game and he's clunked them ever since.  

I sincerely believe that Frost's hands will get stickier, and his kicks will get straighter as his confidence improves.  There was already a notable improvement between the first half and the second half today.  He's got all the required attributes, he just hasn't been able to stitch it all together yet - purely due to confidence I think.

In Q2 a C'wood player was paid a mark (probably correctly) which I thought came to ground closer to their goal than the point at which he was paid the mark. He picked up the goal and the umpire called play on as he ran into goal.  Surely he should have been forced to play from behind the mark?  Or did I see it wrongly?

Agree, Sue, but the umpire might have been murdered by Collingwood supporters if he'd called that back.

He dropped at least four, possibly more.

He also took five though and at least a couple were contested. He can certainly tidy up his game, but I've seen him do worse with those hands.

Just to finish a very nice day I see the pies will be fined for the late inclusion of White.

Oh the day just gets better and better.

And wasn't he just worth it? :P

Clinical today. Pies are a bottom four side on current evidence.

Backline held together. Forward line functioned well. Midfield carried on from last week with slick hands, good decisons (generally) and ferocious defence.

Frost easily his best game in the jumper. He and Pedo can play in the same team apparently :)

Now to tick off two in a row. I'll be making the trip down to watch it happen. Hopefully.

Did he look tired,  or were they paying him Extra attention? 

He didn't look tired, but I suspect they're still managing his minutes. Does anyone know what percentage of game time he played today?

Highlight of the day was arguably Howe coughing up that goal. Oh how I enjoyed watching him spud it up all day long.

 Loved that, but preferred the way the boys flew the teams colours after Toovey dumped Tyson after his 2nd goal.

Hopefully we've ended Nathan Buckley's coaching career as well. That would be the icing on the cake.

No, Buckleys career is the cake, Hardwicks would be the icing.

The lid is off.

They could have rattled us a number of times, but we really stuck it out and it was fantastic to see. From memory, they didn't get closer than about 20 points and, each time they looked likely, we pushed back really hard.

I'm waiting for next week. As much as today's win was huge on a number of levels I want us to end Hardwicks career.

I think some need to man up and give Paul Roos an apology. After the Essendon game many wanted him gone and replaced with Goodwin.

At the end of the day Roosy is still the top dog. Forget about Goodwin for now. We know what we'll get from him in the future.

Time to kill off any ounce of confidence the tigers may have next week.

I'll put my hand up for that.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
