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.
