We were the same during the MN years and a few other periods

Well that’s rather disappointing.

Gee Collingwood are annoying

Just annoying?

[Bitter but optimistic 22,218]

****ful result!

Only made worse by the fact that a decent bar in Thailand is rendered positively toxic by a group of loud mouthed filth supporters 

FMD !

If that Ginnivan want to duck his head in every play someone should just remove it from his shoulders.

Collingwood win another close game that they shouldn’t have. It’s driving me insane.

High free drawing cheats, even pendlebury has started doing it

[D4Life 2,435]

Pies won 11-5, but percentage only 107%, shows they’ve had a lot of close wins, but aren’t anything flash!

[Clintosaurus 7,808]

Their luck will run out. What a bunch of cheats, ducking for frees all day. Sadly they are being umpired to the top 4.

[Return to Glory 8,411]

Pies won't beat Adelaide over there. They've ridden their luck 

[The heart beats true 18,083]

If you take your arm off the ball to draw the tacklers arm high it should be considered prior and holding the ball. It’s ruining the game. Supporters absolutely loathe it.

[KysaiahMessiah 725]

Trying to find positives, best one I can think of is it moves carlton down another rung and they can still miss the 8 :)

norf lost it on i50 efficiency 

did alright on all the other stats

[dees189227 12,361]

2 behinds won't help or maybe the nth players want noble gone.

Anyway it will be an interesting night at the noble house between Joh and his dad. 

People going on about Ginnivan, players will just have to learn to tackle lower and then he will get pinned and look like a goose.

Look at it this way.  All the Pies supporters will now have their hopes up and be dreaming of a Premiership, which will make them being bundled out of the finals all the more sweet for the rest of us.

[dees189227 12,361]

Yuck they have now jumped to 5th and only 1 game behind us. 

Just one year it would nice to not have either essendon or the pies in the finals. 

[dees189227 12,361]

Now lets get gold coast over the line.

They've had a very fortuitous season IMO.

Beat Essendon by 11, Carlton by 4, Hawthorn by 4, GWS by 11, GC by 5 and now North by 7.

5-0 in that run could so easily have been 3-2 or worse, which would have them back in the pack and/or out of the 8.

To their credit they held on in all of those games, but generally speaking when a side does this well in close games they eventually regress back to the "norm", which is to not win 100% of them. Could happen this year with their moderately difficult run home, or otherwise we might find that next year they drop off in ladder position as you can't expect to continually win these close games.

The bar has just been invaded by about a dozen paddies ! They are [censored] already! 
Ireland v NZ rugby is on!

Geez they’re fired up! The Guinness tap is taking some hammer!

Have a mate who’s a North supporter - he was shattered. His text below after the game is eerily similar to what I’d have been sending out 10 years ago. We know what they’re going through.  

“Could see it coming a mile a way. First 30 seconds of the last and I knew we’d stopped believing. Absolutely devastated.”

All being well the Pies will crash and burn in the finals.

I suggest you start sinking some pints of the black stuff and join in the merriment

[dees189227 12,361]

If only nth could have kicked the 1st goal of the final term things could have been different. That's the lesson unfortunately.
