One of my favourite non Dees of all time. Champion player!

One of the strangest elements of the weird faux culture wars driven by MAGA nuts in the states is the whole liberal tears schtick. That's to say trolling the left and reveling in their supposed outrage.

Never got it what people get out of it. Until now. 

I'm embracing Pies fan's tears.

I might even create a fake account on whatever the pies equivalent to Dl is.

I'll call myself Peter is Moore, and my first post will be:  

Long time lurker, first time poster. Frustrating start to the season, but i cant stand all the hate coming our way. Doing my head in.

That said, i know this sounds crazy given he won a flag last season, but i'm really starting to wonder if Mcrae is the right coach. I worry he is the classic front runner, who with all his love and cuddles can't give the players a rocket when needed.  

And i have to say i'm worried about the list, with all our over 30s plodders. its like dad's army.

Don't shoot the messenger, but i've heard there is bit of discontent among the younger players that 'stars' are getting games they don't deserve.

And then there is the constant drumbeat of whispers about 'cultural' issues. And we know what that is code for (there is one ladder we are always at the top off - i'll let you connect the dots, or lines as the case may be). 

Is it time for a mini rebuild, play the kids and focus on getting some high draft picks and setting us up for a proper tilt in 2025?

Don't jump on me, I'm just asking questions. Good clubs are always open to difficult questions. 

And thanks for all your insights, Pie land is the perfect antidote to all the rubbish i hear down at the yacht club and the Brighton Beach hotel about how well the dees are travelling and how much more beautiful their jumper is (which of course i push back on, but its hard given the dees jumper is by far the best color and design).

You’re using too many big words. Pies fans are still reading at grade 1 level. This post will go straight over their head

I got home from work to see the last 10 minutes. Reading online all the pies fans are complaining about the umpiring.

But watching fox footy I'm seeing the lack of effort, pressure and defence that they're highlighting.  I'm also seeing the play where a pies player handballs it & it hit Moore in the head.

Funny that...

For years, especially during last year's finals, Collingwood have been kotd by the AFL and umpires.

They've had their flag, time to get royally screwed like the rest of us. Welcome back to the pack, Fly!

I expect updates from you re the filth trolling @binman

Make sure to make some murmurings about the off field instability and board ructions

Response Peter is Moore:

And don't you hate all the socio economic stereotypes you hear from other club's fans. Particularly from demon fans, who really should be renamed the boomers given the demographics of their pitifully small supporter base. 

I mean, I've never lived in the City of Yarra, but i went hard on property in the late 80s around dights falls and made a fortune. 

And our greatest ever Prez is my neighbor here in beach road Brighton, so hardly blue collar. 

sparse looking crowd at docklands

high scoring game

Good old Kayo. 
Turned on the North - Freo match.
Must be at least 4 - 5 people watching this, including me.

Good on them for making it 4K. 
Took almost 5 minutes for it to lag this week.

Now lag free for almost 10 minutes.

Perhaps they could use that in their advertising?

Positive start North. taking the game on

Looking at some stats.

Hawks marks inside 50 for their only game is 19 compared to 8.5 for our two.

We know it's been area we've struggled, but I'm confident our backline won't concede anywhere near that number as well.

It's why Goody is  keen to get Petty up and about bout.

 

Ducked...

What is the rule?

Who of note is missing for Freo besides Darcy and Chapman? Currently 5 goals down to a supposed rabble in North. The 19th & 20th team can’t come soon enough, looking fwd to the end of this great game.

To all the statisticians here, I'm just wondering if a team has comeback from zero and four to win a flag? (Hoping very much for the lions on their home turf next Thursday, to crush the filth).

Thanks. And if they have, what is the magic number thus far, required for  exclusion from a flag?

Let's not forget that the Pies were a good side last year but hardly a spectacular one. Good start to the season but tired significantly towards the end and then just scraped through ALL their finals.

 

North in the 70’s lost the first 6 games and then made the GF

’76 i think

North are outstanding. Best I've seen them play in years. Swarming all over the dockers.

We'll see if they can keep this up but if i was a North fan i'd be very happy with what i'm seeing.

Norf are playing "premiership" footy! They missed a couple of set shots or Freo would be buried.

Amazing

Was hoping it wasn't done after four zip.

Big effort.

Flogmantle Soft as Butter on the road

Nothing has changed so far…

Wardlaw is going to be a real player.
Great to watch some of these Nth kids.

 

 

jackson still double grabbing

Not sure North are a rabble.
