It’s official Pies have passed us..whose next?

Post: # 1972650Post Teflon »

Just admiring a Pies forward line where even midgets like Elliott lead up
No bombing super efficiencies
Structured transition
Clearly drilled well with a side people were saying last year were in wilderness
Hawks and Bombers next ….

Mc Crae is obviously a very good coach. who would have thought a coach would make that much of a difference considering the self absorbed crap posted on here every other day.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

The skunks were hard at the Ball and player all night all over the grd
Tackling was fierce
Well coached
They wanted it more
If our players had the same drive ………well

Geelong or pies will win the Grannie . Probably the pies ..we are so far off the mark I wish we could walk away and call stumps on the season .

They have, but were gifted 5 goals from a "new " interpretation of the holding the ball the rule. However, it's only valid if the team doing the tackling is wearing black and white.

No no no
Coaches amount to nothing ask BM
Players completely organise game style structures and tactics themselves….or Rath thinks they should
Anyone could coach Collingwood nd they’d have turned this around so fast…..
We’ve just locked in a coach who by end of this year very well could finish the season having gone backwards in ladder position every year he’s coached us …..but we extend him cause he’s cheap and a nice fella

Just goes to show a good coach getting the best out of his list . I don't think their list is that much better than ours but the determination & just give it a crack should be something we aspire to . 11 games in a row for a bunch of try hard's pretty impressive IMO

I don't rate said poster after Aaron's dad posted on here tearing him an alterate sphincter, the Siposs clan had issues with him. Not good.

Pies win 11 games in a row with a fierce will to win, great teamwork and transition play etc etc....

...Meh



So, let's ask them the hard questions.





How are their group hugs and synchronized breathing holding up?

The softest draw in the comp, rarely leave the MCG, fell over the line against a swathe of mediocre teams, won tonight thanks to some generous umpiring.

Still not convinced.

Once the bubble pops -- next week, against the Swans? -- it could all fall apart.

Interestingly a few years ago when Richmond rearranged their forward line with the mosquito fleet (I think injuries and only Rewoilt ) they won a flag and Leppitch was the architect who is now at Collingwood. Their endevour and accurate kicking were good

Pies with 41 inside 50s and 21 shots at goal

Dees with 65 inside 50s and 24 shots at goal

Dees win that game 95% of the time with that inside 50 differential

Pies will run out of juice soon enough
