NON-MFC: Round 02

Sing with me!

I love it when Collingwood choke

It's football's greatest joke

How good was the way they used Wanganeen-Milera as much as possible.  Watching him kick is like watching a Federer backhand or a Warnie leggie.  Skill and execution just sublime.    Not to the same extent, but I'd be keen to see McVee freed up a little bit to be getting that kick from the back half into the forward half.  But we seem to be trending in that direction anyhow.

Pity it has to be Brisbane.

Both 0-4 would be good to see...

...but I guess you can't have everything.

But taunting Brisbane fans that they've only beaten the bottom team would be a perfect two-flavoured ice cream.

Not every club can hope to emulate the most potent 50 minutes of football in the history of the game.

I love that it isn't even hyperbole to say that.

Hah, I now genuinely have the Doom music in my head.

Sure the Pies had a bumper start to the season last year but they fell away at the end.

In reality they just snuck home with three iffy finals including the gf.

They beat us in a final by 7 points when we had an absolutely depleted fwd line and were a man down.

Just beat Gws by a point.

And we're lucky in the Gf with the soft advantage call and just snuck home again by a kick.

They were not a glorious flag team by any standard.

Look at our 21 finals campaign. That's how it's done.

Pies won't make top four and rightly so.

They're the second weakest premier of this century, only the Bulldogs of 2016 were weaker. Fact.

The pies won their 3 finals by a cumulative total of 12 points. That was with some extremely lucky umpiring decisions going their way. They started the season well but by the end they were a middle of the road team and were possibly the luckiest premiers in my lifetime. Zero chance of a "dynasty". Hopefully they crash and burn for the sake of all Australian society and the sport. Pathetic wretched scum.

pies flag - 56.32 attacking, 63.86 defending.

bulldogs 2016 - 59.83 attacking, 71.64 defending.

pies were officially kissed on the richard cranium last year. the dogs of 2016 would beat them 8/10 times.

Further, last year teams statistically had their worst scoring accuracy against the Pies. It was an uncanny stat that almost all teams worst goalkicking performance came against Collingwood.

 

Expand  

We had the opposite problem as Freo, GWS, Carlton x2 and Collingwood beat us with superb accuracy last year despite the fact we had more scoring shots in all those games.

In the finals alone, the opposition kicked 20.13 to our 16.28

The umpiring standard was horrendous and it's the first time I enjoyed it.

And if any Pies fan should stumble upon this post.....

That goal from the boundary line ....the ball was definitely out of bounds.

Expand  

That goal, was it from the Wayne Harmes flank ? Not Collingwood's lucky part of the ground 

[Diamond_Jim 12,773]

A lot of potentially one sided games this weekend.

Crows v Cats probably the hardest on paper but of course upsets happen

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,794]

Just been reflecting this morning on Cwood going 0-3.

Ahh....🌞

I think Dogs Suns is an interesting game. Reckon Suns make the 8 this year…this game will be a good indicator.

Best I can come up with is a rainbow kick from May on the dog's head, setting him up for a kozzie knee. I say May as he never kicks Rainbows, we want Maynard to know.

David Kind now jumping on the saints as how ‘amazing were they last night’

 

Were the saints amazing??? I thought Collingwood were awful more than Saints were good. Lots of saints goals came from Collingwood players making BAD errors that other top teams aren’t going to make.
