Toast Round 8 = Carlton 79-85 Collingwood

[Vicky Park]

I told you we'd win, a bit closer than I would have liked but we won. that was was a monumentas effort

I picked us too (but I always do).

 

[Aucklander]

What a win. Nick was brilliant. Some defensive lapses when pressing forward, but showed amazing fight as well.

Thought the commentary was very poor with some of the calls completely dumb and nothing like what had happened during the passage of play they were calling.

Slowly but surely Collingwood seem to be getting back into their very best form.

 

[raymond35]

After the 2010 drawn GF, he was on SEN searching for reasons why St Kilda would win the replay. Another commentator pointed out some reasons and Maher soiled himself in excitement. Have disliked him since.

He has no redeeming features at all, the most dismal person on the planet and I hope he really enjoyed tonight.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Olympiakos you mean happy Easter at least it going to be a good one winning

Yes, Olympiakara. My red legends.


καλά ανάσταση.

Happy orthodox Easter guys.

Nice to see some little signs of the 2023 Pies!

Should have beaten them by more, but even sweeter saving it to the last minute and watching the Carlton member bay empty out all at the same time in that last minute!

Did anyone see Peter Daicos going off in the dressing rooms after the game abiut the umpires?I would love to have heard him really say what was on his mind ,but unfortunately BT shut him down before he could say very much.

BT did CFC a favour by shutting him down.
We don’t need more reasons for the umps to hate us. And take it out on Peters boys.

 

[windchimes]

We pecked apart their empty black hearts with our cold industrial Magpie beak.

Nick Daicos came out for blood and delivered us that “I’m him” performance tonight.

It’s a marvellous weekend coming up, you good things!

 

[spartan-magpie]

He's a piece of s**t

I’m fully agree.

 

[Scodog10]

Huge win, love it.

Goodbye Sidebottom.

Not quite. We won’t have any of McReery, Mitchell, JDG and maybe Shoota next week so he’s got another week at least, but the flipside is who’s taking his place?

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Huuuge shout out to Fly and the coaching team. Did it again, not sure how, but wow.

Like most collingwood supporters, I enjoy Carltoons loses almost as much as our wins, unless we inflict that loss.

But when I hear heart breaking in his puny chest after a magpies win, it’s a glorious feeling.

 

[danielnajdek]

Fan Cams is interesting. Have a feeling they aren't happy.

Slowly but surely Collingwood seem to be getting back into their very best form.

The effort to win last years flag took everything we had as a club to win. In hindsight, it was only natural that the boys had a bit of doubt in the first 3 rounds, just due to thought of being able to do it again. I think they have that belief back now

 

[Pedro]

Beau in the middle really got us going in Q1, Harrison great all match and Sullivan looked like a 100 game player rather than a debutant. We suddenly look refreshed.

Sidey a non-factor again. Only gets a game next week coz McCreery misses.

Agree mostly. Every time I write of Steele though, he pulls something out of the bag. He's going to have some quieter games, but our veterans like Steele (and Pendlebury) will stand up when it counts. I wouldn't be sending him to the dew kickers just yet

 

[Chrispiesssss]

It gets better

 

[riddick78]

I can not believe these stats, i know they are pretty even, but i thought we'd get smashed in stoppages. Well done Pies for finding a way against a star stacked midfield.

 

[FireKrakouer]

Disgusting

No one cheers for umpiring against the pies than Richo, so to hear even him perplexed by the decision is quite telling.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Walsh ball watches for half a second and Nick was on his bike and gone

Yea, great points and well said.

I had a chat with Peter Daicos outside the MCC while I was having a smoke before the 2003 GF. Honestly, I couldv'e been sitting at the pub with my best mate Collingwood fan. Such a mad Pies man and a genuine top bloke. I can never be embarrassed as a mid 50's bloke about how much I love this club when I think back to meeting Petter Daicos. A bigger Colllingwood tragic you could never meet.

I wasn't expecting too much tonight, but what a joy to witness a typical Collingwood against the odds (IMO) win. Guys like Crisp have been criticised recently, but much like the finals series last year, they stand up when it counts. Super proud of them tonight.

He’s an awesome bloke. Went to a sportsman’s day he hosted a couple of years ago and he’s just a lovely, approachable, genuinely friendly person who’s passionate about his club and loves his boys more than anything.

 

[Vicky Park]

Sam Reid hasn’t retired??

He's still on their list.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Back in stock and full of nourishment

 

[Exambolor]

I want to find the moment Nick kicked the goal from their perspective
