That was a impressive win by the blues.

Collingwood were full strength.

Carlton were missing, McKay, Walsh, Cerra (2nd half), Kennedy.

But they had a 6 day break. A six day break! The nerve of the AFL😂

Nice win... i told me lil storm cloud and son the Blues were a good chance all week with the Pies coming back from a rare away game (and a biggen at that)  plus a filthy lurgy floating about at their dirty lair.

They just laughed and thought i was crazy.  Usually they're right of course!

Its great to see Kosi hitting his straps and Melk too.

6 weeks is a long time in football it seems

[FireInTheBennelly 4,026]

Is that a 'wobble'?

And on cue Brayshaw starts the interstate, 6 days break, wet night last week narrative 

Personally, I'd like to hear more of it. The pies def looked gassed - understandable given the intensity od last week, travel and six day break.

I reckon port will struggle to come up to, though luckily for them the crows are coming of a tough game and a six day break.

I see the flu excuse is being trotted out by Pies fans already...

[Chook 14,602]

You know what this means don't you, for the media... Carlton will join Collingwood, Port and maybe Brisbane as the only real premiership contenders. Geelong might sneak into some people's calculations.

Meanwhile…the Jaws theme begins as another contender lurks beneath the waves.

All good. Premierships are won in September

Blues fans carrying on in last, lol

It's their grand final!

Because Kosi and Melksham won us the game last year that basically killed the Blues finals chances

Didn't they have allegedly have some flu ahead of their loss against us?

They seem to have a bad habit of getting crook in the lead up to games where the oppo go super hard at them and apply huge pressure.

Unlucky for them that's what finals footy is.

Must have also struck them down in the lead up to their two high pressure finals they lost last year.

Watching the Pies players continue with manic football in the last minute only confirms for me that they risk burning out before the end of September. I don’t care how fit they are, how they play and the number of games they’ve needed to play to the death, means they’ve spent a lot of energy to this point in the season.

Pies have not a single injury. They have options to manage and rest. They didn’t.
Cox a total liability and he can’t play with Cameron and McStay IMO. 

As we know tho, wasting all your energy trying to claw wins from the jaws of defeat every week is physically and mentally taxing.

Totally agree.

And they are the hunted every single week.

Like it or not the Blues were impressive.
It's all about pressure.

Pressure and contested ball.

That's finals footy.

Howe up forward?

They pushed him up forward in the 3rd Q 'bin'...it took Hodgey until nearly half way into the last Q to notice it.

About the time he kicked his first goal.

I've always said our expert comments people are the best in the business and really keep us informed.

Collingwood's disposal was generally atrocious. A good sign of fatigue.

But I know what shampoo Nick Daicos uses, so if that’s not information for you, I dunno what is.

Guess who’s top of the table for contested possessions

So I saw it from halfway through the final quarter. Moore got torn apart from Curnow, port supporters would be wondering how Elliott kicked that goal but misses directly in front tonight.

A shame port couldn't knock them off last week & bring them right back.

Anyway it's good they lost. Lets hope Sydney can do the same tomorrow to the bummers

[dees189227 10,909]

JB said they're coming off a 6 day break, they are coming back from Adelaide, not Perth or Darwin. it's a 30 minute flight.

They were just outplayed tonight 

[mauriesy 6,829]

Lots of panic when their backs were one or two out with Curnow. He gets lots of free kicks.
