Pendles, in my many yrs a Magpie fan, hes one of the best six players i have seen, myself. The others being Len Thompson, McKenna, Daicos the first, Millane, and of course, Bucks.
Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.
Chess and Vodka are born brothers. - Russian proverb.
Sick of the umpires umpiring the player and not the game. I saw many examples of players getting away doing the same thing as Ginnivan. Umpire consistently or else it is bordering on incompetence.
I couldn’t care about the margin as long as we end up winning. My heart doesn’t like it but my head loves Collingwood getting the 4 points. Winning is also a habit I’m glad we have.
We can only improve with the injured players coming back.
Love the confidence that this team has about being able to play hard until the very last minute.
I don’t compare this team with other flag winning teams I have seen as n 1990 and 2010. Let them make their own mark during the finals.
I love watching this team perform week in and week out.
Lastly we made the right decision in getting McRae as coach. Great choice.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm

Nick Daicos has the composure and foot skills of Pendles.
12 wins. 1 more win guarantees us finals but this might be enou. Fantastic effort in a rebuild year.
For one of the few times this year I can say the umpires didn't do us in. The Ginnivan free kick against for hold in the ball was a howler with a 50m penalty thrown in for Pendlebury questioning the decision. Some other questionable decisions but overall the umpires umpired it as they saw it. Ginnivan now has to play the game as though he doesn't expect the free kick. Otherwise he's penalizing the team.
^ I don't accept that, at all. They can do what they like about head-high tackles, if they must (although it would be nice if all players were adjudicated the same way). It is entirely unacceptable, though, that the umpires allowed him to be manhandled illegally throughout the game, in all sorts of other ways. There is no warrant for ignoring the entire rule book every time Ginnivan goes to a contest.

They are a copycat side.
Just because we won 7 straight games, they too must copy us and take the glory.
Now that we have 8, let's hope they fail.
They're playing Carlton though.
No room for sentiment, here. It's nice to have the long streak for a couple of hours but I'll be even happier if Carlton is put to the sword. And, let's be blunt, I'll be supporting every umpiring decision to pay soft head-high tackle free kicks to Geelong tonight, even though our players apparently have no necks.
