OMG we were toast at half time. I've gone to the bar and didn't move. What a turnaround and what a fight we showed in the second half. Woo hoo

We might not win the premiership in 2015 but the seeds for our next one were sown today.

We done 'pies - very proud I am

The truth is somewhere in between and we had lady luck on our side in the end.

We have much work to do.
I agree that we got a bit lucky. The perfect link up play and ball movement isn't there yet. The endeavour and the system is though and that's all I ask for at this stage. We're not as good as the Roos and they showed us up for pace and execution early. With hard work we were able to bring that back and with some good fortune were able to put plenty on the scoreboard.

Our games against top 8 teams shows that we're not there yet. In each one we've been blown out of the water early, promisingly we've fought on for the four quarters, and this time we were able to spring a win.
That's the notable thing this year. Inconsistency aside we have been running out 4 qtrs better than the past 2 years IMO

The Davoren effect maybe?

Played like dogs first half but that second half was gutsy and impressive. We are a far less experienced side so I wouldn't be so critical of our boys. Great game, great win

After 1/2 time Collingwood were Simply AWESOME

I think Maxy's interview with Ben Hart at 3/4 time says it all (we went back to basics and tried to make it more contested). Basically what always happens with the hand pass happy gameplan goes to peices.. "Boys kick it long to a contest and pressure like crazy"... If 2015 game plan fails the coaches just fall back on a more 2010/11/12 style

Just saying.....you know who you are
I think Elliott and quite a few others had more to do with our win than Blair.

But whatever floats your boat.

I'll take Kennedy.
Exactly. Fasolo's work to rove one touch (something Blair struggles to do), shake a tackle and put it on the boot into blairs lap was what set up the sealer blair ended up kicking.

He still had to be in the right place, mark it and kick it. But don't let me get in the way of more brown and Blair bashing.

News flash- he ain't the greatest.....but he ain't the worst.

Plus a special piece of coaching. What's that bloke's name... ?

Crisp, Blair and Adams laid 28 tackles between them.

Well done Pies. Stood up when it counted and never gave in when all seemed lost at half time. Credit where credit's due because was a first half to forget. The team galvanised together and really lifted in the second half. Took possession more, won contests, applied constant pressure, ran and used the ball better. Even in the last quarter when things got tight we still hung in there ground out the win.

Awesome win, only saw the 2nd half and a 13 goal to 4 thrashing of North is what I expect us to do, don't know what happened in the 1st half then!

Best bit was I reckon we kicked 13.1, the other 6 behinds after half time were all rushed, amazing accuracy for a team renowned for shit kicking and as said earlier, North kicked themselves out of the game missing some very easy and crucial goals in the 2nd half.

I think the real key is we have the right balance in the forward line now, White at least makes a contest when he doesn't mark it, Clokey up high with Fasolo, Elliott and Blair roving around and the resting midfielder.

Backline is a little undersized for dealing with tall forwards but they provide great run

Rucking by Grundy was great even if a few taps go nowhere, Witts struggled in the wet, in the 3rd especially Crisp was sensational!

Great win, no negatives from the 2nd half!

Don't say the B word round here Donny.

Bottle that one.

Elliot, obviously amazing. Thought Adams was also very good... Sidebottom & Swans second half. Amazing comeback not led from Pendlebury (for once).

As a side, I just read all 23 pages of the game day thread and a big thankyou to everyone involved... as it was pure entertainment.

Oh and Crisp is a gem. I thought he was supposed to be a sh_te kick?

Awesome win.
You could just feel it after we kicked them 3rd in a row that the momentum was starting to swing.
Proud of every one of the boys.
Gutsy win.
