Post Match. Pies dump Dees. All comments.

Time for the Dees to head for the snow. Last year was an aberration.

My daughter lives near Mansfield and says the four wheel drives with Deeeeees fans pouring into town.

Out-bloomin-standing. Mason Cox hit the switch somehow and changed the game. Henry is a prodigy. McCreery is a Lamborghini. Add some late candy from Pendles and it’s a happy place here in the NSW north coast tonight…

How the f... did we lose to West Coast?

That and Geelong when we were up by 40 odd.

We’d be equal first

[Mr Miyagi]

We’re a good side when we have our best out there. McRae’s a genius. Hell knows what’s he’s doing.

Tay just said it, Fly said to the players about their first half “this is boring”

We did well in getting Fly. Not a big name but what we needed.

The whole club clean out has been long needed and yep we got a good one in Fly!

[Born to Pie]

Wild ride for Pies supporters once again we got knocked over by the Weagles and we knock-off the reigning premier and top of the table Dees.

Young side, new coach and style four in a row, how good have we been.

Great games from Cox, WHE and McCreery when they have been much maligned (yes by me too).

After the bye GWS (MCG), GCS (Metricon), Roos (MCG), Crows (AO) and Bombers (MCG) Can't get ahead of ourselves (we lost to the Weagles), but by round 19 we could be almost certain to play finals when most of us expected bottom four.

Great win, go Pies

Unbelievable win. An absolute cracker of a win. This beats anything we have witnessed this year by far and away.
Highlights: Cox marking power, daicos boys, checkers kicking, Henry’s emergence, daicos doing a back spin after being decapitated, commentators saying exactly what Ginnivan does is perfect but only if the opposition does it. Lippinski and he’s skillset, Gawn gawking like a protective species to our bench, the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the Demons and how the AFL are saying nothing to see here, carry on people. the white elephant in the room in the halls of the AFL and that’s the umpires.
Good win pies.

[Mr Miyagi]

Gawn going off injured was a big moment

The whole club clean out has been long needed and yep we got a good one in Fly!

The clean out is what we needed. Ed had been there too long and so was Bucks. We need a KPF, KPD and two big bodied midfielders and a bit of time and we will be unstoppable.

How the f... did we lose to West Coast?

We kicked shit and they kicked 15.3. That’s it in a nutshell.

[winpies]

You little bloody ripper!!! One of the great wins.

[shawthing]

Geez I underestimated how good Crispy is for us. He was superb today. So was Lipinski. I was wrong on him too.

[Mr Miyagi]

How did we monster contested marks in the third, that was incredible

[warburton lad]

Fine win- quite possibly one of our best since 2018 Prelim.

Cox was outstanding, but the gang tackling was intimidating the Demons from just before half-time.

I imagine Grundy will come back through the VFL.

Looking forward to seeing Dean and others put pressure on for senior spots.

What a difference Jamie Elliott makes to this side- so clever.

And Henry has the very handy knack of kicking clutch goals at important times in pressure games.

Much to like- have the bye and tune up for a tough one against GWS.

[Mr Miyagi]

To think I thought Elliot was finished with injuries years ago and many wanted to trade him.
