First half awful second half great but we were lucky North missed a number of goals

Best thing is the second half means the players self belief and confidence will go sky high which is very important for a young side

I love me pies!!!

Great, great win. Apparently that third quarter was our best quarter of football since 2002. The stars shone when it counted. But I really loved some of the one percenters like:Varcoe's three tackles in a row along the boundary line, Marley's bone crunching hip and shoulder and Witts' deft tap down to advantage to a team mate streaming forward in the last quarter that resulted in a goal.
GO PIES!

we simply had no luck in the first half whether it was a line ball decision, the ball bouncing the other way or just a fumble here or there. we just couldn't get our hands on the ball but when we did it changed the complexion of the game. it also helped that north couldn't kick straight and kept us in the game.

for all the faults of the first half, that third quarter was simply stunning. i was nearly in tears. it gives the guys a reference point for what they are capable of.

About time poor kicking was from the opposition and not us. Feels good. So that's what opposition fans feel like when we miss and don't capitalise. The fact that Cloke barely had a set shot probably helped our accuracy.

Yep. Wins like that remind me of why I follow the footy and why I love the Pies!

Some foolish ultra pessimistic poster, cant recall whom, said on the game day thread at half time, somethng like "" our list needs a complete cleanout, and it may take 12 years to get good again, ", beyond doubt, after that magnificent second half, the most ridiculous half assed post of the year, bar none !!
Hope they are now wiping heaps of egg off their faces, as that was a win for the ages, one of the greatest i have ever seen from a Pies team, and a very positive step forward for this very young team. !!

I liked Fasolo's game.

Played with some energy and worked hard even in the first half I thought.

Might be some hope for him if he can keep that attitude up.

I think that was me! lol...I may have gone a bit hard there, but emotions were high and our performance at the time was again putrid. *Face Palm*

[thompsoc]

Oh man, 1/2 way home might have to watch that second half again

How AWESOME was that?

The atmosphere was sooooo good

And I would just like to add

To all the doubters

Suck a lemon

Because BLAIR ROCKED IT TONIGHT!


OH YEAH!

First half lousy.
Got out by himself and chopped off a few direct kicks to our forwards
in the second half. He has to get a kick somehow.
Never got front and centre all day and he had no direct influence on the game.
But yeah, keep dreaming that he makes a difference.
See Crisps game tonight to see what is needed.

[mattys123]

Great win in the end, but man that first half was so frustrating.

The day we put 4 quarters together we will look like a bloody good side, and probably beat a good side.

6-3 though, would have taken that at seasons start if you told me Sidey, Reid and Greenwood would have next to no input.

GO PIES.

[RudeBoy]

I can't remember a come from behind win as good as that. Brilliant. That's the sort of win that creates a winning and fighting culture. It will make us a much better team from now on.

Take a bow Bucks, you have this young team playing selfless team oriented hard football, and that's all anyone can ask for.

Btw, we are a much, much better team when our forward line is not built around Cloke.

a worthy winner of nick's gibberish of the week?
most things said in the game day thread should be taken with a grain of salt.

I think some comments need to be taken in context and many negative ones were a direct response to the way were playing in the first half. Some of us can and do go over the top.

I had no problem voicing my dissent but was happy to give credit where it was due as well. A few players could use a kick up the backside but this team did show great spirit and endeavour when it counted - in the premiership quarter, and must be commended for that.
