A great game by the pies. The lack of goals in the second half is nothing to worry about. The whole game was played on our terms.
The big thing for me was the attitude of the players. They really looked switched on out there and our pressure is back. Actually its been back since round 2. These are great signs. Our structure is good and we have room to improve and key players to come back.
I loved Fasolo's game. His move down back has been exactly what he and the team needed. He looks in his element, and his skills are very valuable.
A few posters are questioning Goldsack's place in the team. His constant run and pressure is second to none. |

I think I overrated Faz's game in my votes (gave him 4). He was good, even great, possibly revelatory. But he wasn't second best on ground behind Sidebottom. Lumumba, Swan, probably Pendles and Cloke had better days.
Love the creativity he brings to the team, as it's something we sorely lack. He did only have 12 kicks (20 handballs  ) and was better in the second half when the game had already been decided. The kicking that he did do was good, but he's not yet a Leon, I've never seen anyone as good as Leon was in 2011.

The big story for me is the backline. Keefe and Frost form means Reid goes into the forward line and we have a white / Cloke / Reid forward setup. Oh my. Fasolo accumulating possessions and having elite disposal is a god send. Maxy looks so free out there since he handed the reigns over even Eddiesmith must be ready to admit he is worthy of his place.
Buckley is growing in confidence by the day and he is a genuine process based coach, a few losses won't worry him as long as his game plan is developing and his list remains strong.
We are building baby.

Hats off to MagpieBat for his belief that Fasolo needed to be trialled across half back.
His creativity and kicking ability is just what we needed and importantly at present isn't really being exposed for a lack of defensive experience.
I thought he was also super impressive today in how he was to get himself out of a tight spot time and again.
He aint super quick but he's footy smart.
Another snip:

Agreed, said last year we should think about throwing him into our backline, anyone listen... zzz, so it's great to see him in the team, and doing so well at adapting to his new situation so quickly.
Also good to see we're turning it around on the field, and it seems, in the box too - so all we need now is a little bit of consistency, and a small upgrade in disposal and we'll be cherry ripe..
Go Pies!!

You're kidding right? Maxy played a wonderful game last week and all Eddie could do was slag him off. The guy is completely blinded by his hatred of Maxy. |

I was just watching some of the replay.
I really feel sorry for anyone having to listen to the commentary. I would have to turn down the sound. Seriously. I don't know who it was but some of the commentators got really frustrated when Collingwood started to pull away in the second quarter. Lots of loud sighing, lots of "I want to see the replay" when Collingwood got a free kick, lots of "that's unfortunate" when Collingwood players did something brilliant. Am I wrong? |

Its amazing that we have this gun forward who can mark anything yet is only about a 60% chance of kicking a goal when he lines up, so he gets constantly put down by most people because of his unreliable kicking, yet they scream if someone dares to put down the worst kick of a football in the entire league, Maxwell couldn't hit a target on the chest if there was no one around, his only kick is the helicopter to a pack
But then again maybe his loopy handball that he hopes sticks or the handball to a player with 2 opponents 1cm behind him are brilliant that they can overlook the shit kicking...
At the end of the day he is a backman who can only play if he is allowed to run around on his own looking good being 3rd man up, you cannot let him play on any opponent or they will kick a bag and usually do. So not sure why we should get excited about a player with no skill, no ability to beat an opponent but who is great at being unaccountable and can look good punching a ball away when someone else has the opposition player beaten |

That's true. I did hear that. But most commentators do barrack for whoever is playing us. And when one of our players does badly or the team losers, they tend to focus on the opponent and how good they are. Maybe I'm just a paranoid worn out Collingwood supporter. |

^ more than likely re being washed up. 
the one decision they really scratched their heads about was when elliott when up before acceptances and wasn't penalised. at the ground i was sure he'd given away a free.

 No your not wrong! After the first 10 minutes of Dunstall commentary I watched the whole game with no sound made an incredible difference to how I enjoyed the game! |
