It was a strange one - we had the 5 leading disposal-winners (and they were our 5 best footballers - Naicos, Sidey, Jaicos, De Goey and Pendles) and led most of the stats (the only one we were losing badly was the frees) but just couldn't score readily. Obviously, from the way the last quarter unfolded, Essendon just didn't have the legs to keep blocking all the holes for another quarter. Collingwood actually - to use a cliche - ran riot.stoliboy wrote:Firstly a moment of silence for the Umpires who couldn't get their side up today (free kicks 10-19 Essendon's way).
What a come from behind win. Last year I believed we could always come back but thought the game was done at 3QT.
What a team!!!
Darcy Moore, Nick Daicos and others immense!

True, I never lost faith, just more angry over lousy umps, bad goal kicking, and the fact we had a third of our team out. I thought we would at least fight it out, and I would have been satisfied with a 2-3 goal loss, more or less. But the end result was amazing, watching the clock countdown on TV, with our boys passing it backwards etc, and McCreerys last goal, really would have left a bone in the throat of their turd coach, Scott. Suffer in ya jocks, Scottie.

I questioned the coaching, I admit.....especially forward coaching.Mr Miyagi wrote:Not once did I bag the players or coach. Never do that.

Umpires were awful, especially in first quarter.
Bombers took away the corridor from us for three quarters. It was attitude that won the game for us and that’s down to the players more than anything.
