Bummer.  Pies won

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

At least Essendon is out of the 8 and they can stay there

[layzie 33,796]

I hate Collingwood.

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

As seen last season their win at the death game wins a lot of games but doesn’t stand up in finals.

Curious, have you ever come on this thread to talk about other games?

All I see is your negativity towards us.

The crows played as if they would lose in the last 45 mins. why not keep attacking??

Bugger it. Thought short break would have cost the pies in the last. Crows should have been out of sight before then. Adelaide were poor in the last. 
Pies deserve to be top but they are beatable 

Pies would have won by 5 + if it were a normal break between games. Crows missed an opportunity

rookie mistake, But you have to hand it to the pies non-stop effort.

Pulled the shutters up with 4 mins left. Most here would agree that 4 mins was more like 8. They needed to keep creating chances, they literally invited the Collingwood method in through rhe door and stuffed it.

Really wanted Adelaide to do us a favour, but justice was served in terms of result. Umpires need a full review at the end of year, I just get the impression there is not a big enough base to produce all the cream required for top level. I mean FFS, the standard atm makes Razor look good.

I think Collingwood's best is only 4th or 5th in the comp after Melbourne, Geelong, Brisbane and maybe Carlton, but they look to have the smallest gap between their best and worst by a fair distance.

I’ve been watching footy all my 5 decades, and this is the best last quarter team I’ve ever seen. By a galaxy. They are also currently the best team in the AFL, it’s unarguable. And I hate it. 

Calm down lol

They’re good but I’d pick us or Geelong over them still.

[layzie 33,796]

5 goals to Weid? Nice job son.

I also look forward to seeing your thread bumped for the whole week again.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,702]

Bad kicking for goal = trouble

The Crows have gift wrapped top spot for them.

 

[layzie 33,796]

I really hope there were some bricks through tv screens 

[dl4e 5,851]

This thing with the filth is a mental game play. They know they can come back and beat a side in the last quarter and the opposition have it in their head that the filth will over run them. Change this situation ( another side beating the filth in a tight last quarter ) a couple of times and watch them start to fold.

[layzie 33,796]

Atill can't believe it, from pillar to post they gift wrapped that last quarter. Pathetic

Of course, everyone’s beatable, they’re just the hardest to beat. If it stays that way through September, the flag is theirs. 

😆 I’ll happily come back to this when we’re hoisting the flag

[layzie 33,796]

We've not seen this before for a very long time.

Melbourne v Collingwood is the Grand Final that the Australian Football League, and Australia, needs.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,702]

If we ever come up against the filth in a final we just have to tag Nick Daicos, completely shut out of the game.

unarguable? i’d argue the best would be judged by winning flags. they just fluked a win against a team that finished 14th last year. if the crows kicked even just a few of the dozen of points they would have won. sure they have great belief but they are nothing special
