While hit outs were solidly to the Pies advantage we were even on clearances by the end of the game. An amazing second half turn around on this stat

Umpires helped us a lot.

Oscar was VAFA in the first half but All Australian in the second.

Fitting that Watts kicked the sealer, an excellent goal at that.

Tyson does himself no favours.

Team selection still wrong despite the win.

On a personal note, Mini Bizkit was born a few days ago, bought her membership last night so today she was our good luck charm.

 

Great post.

 

Oscar just didn't use the numbers around him in the first half and gave it back.  Good 2nd half.

 

Tyson's game had everything; toughness, composure, skill.  Loved his game.  

 

 

No ruckman.  A lot of our players down or average.  Good win.

 

 

Cya in 24

 Much to think about

That's great for a grey cold day. 

Pies took almost twice the number of marks. Smashed the hit outs and still lost.

Viney, Oliver and Trac had an awesome second half. So funny Watts kicked that goal after pies supporters booing him again.

Why not us?  Believe Dees

Glad Watts slotted that last goal, could have easily slewed off his foot,and imagine how unhappy we would have all been,instead here we are in the 8 you beauty.

 

O mac is going to kill my heart

his first half was just a mess....

Season defining win Pettacca , Watts ,Oliver , Jones Viney , Hunt huge.

 

Great win for the club but just as big game next week against the Bulldogs at Etihad. we are both 6-5 and we are ahead of them on percentage.

 

Go Boys!

We finally won a close one!  On the G no less!  Hooray!

6th on the ladder means we are above Ess (who have played an extra game) and above the Bulldogs...

...and we play the Bulldogs next week - HUGE GAME!

Just saw Dave Misson smiling, repeat, Dave Misson smiling.

Congrats. Hope she gets to see a team of winners all her long life.

Congrats CB!

Just an average player in max gawn to come back into the side sitting 6th and could very easily be higher

 

also I apologise to all for my emotional outbursts again this week 

Even Oscar did some good things in the second half

And heaps raised. What  a day. N. Daniher is an inspiraton.

Cometh the hour cometh the Jack. 

Still some obvious flaws in the team but at 6-5 with Hogan and Gawn to come back in, you couldn't ask for much more.

That is Jack Watts, I assume?  Re Jack Watts, not bad effort given he played on a bad ankle and went off in the 1st quarter with a back problem which he carried thru the game.  Hopefully no-one pots him for lacking courage...

Why this team refuses to play 4 quarters is beyond me. Do they just expect to turn up and for it to fall our way?

Do we expect that we will still work our way back into games when we are behind? (we have been in every game this year)

For the sake of your supporters' physical and mental health, how about playing good football right from the get go then continuing to do so for the full 4 quarters Dees?

A win's a win, but i reckon i have had my life shortened by 5-10 years this season.

New respect for Oscar best game yet well done Oscar!!!!

that last quarter. he took it all on. amazeballs

Well we all know we can play a lot better than that which is the great thing about a close win.

Looking forward to a full team four quarter effort next week against the Dogs. They are ripe for picking and this game should have given us real belief.

Who knows... we could go in favourites (O No!!)

 

Thought Lewis was very ordinary though

Umps helped us in the end. 

Given we are ranked 18th for frees for, quite frankly I don't give a toss!

they would need to help us in about 5 more this war to even up the ledger.
