That was a very nerve-wracking and intense game to watch.

Probably one of the best wins in Freo's history.

Oh yes, a cheeky little bit of sexy Freo action late morning, im absolutely there for it! Saw the last ten mins of the Freo/swannies match in my tent at glastonbury, early kickoffs are good for streaming from a cosy bed - and just about scraped a wonderful victory. Obvs the Swannies are the best team in the comp, but theyre beatable - and outside them i think its wide open. Carlton's ability to kick goals will see them go very deep, and i'd love to see Freo in a prelim, next year is the year i think we're going all out for the flag though - more games in our young fellas, more goals to come from the forward line, defence is rock solid - 2025 flag it is in our thirtieth anniversary season please!

hmmm, bit disappointed with Essendon beating the pies this morning - not that i like the pies, i dont! its just that i dislike essendon more, and i've been predicting their downfall for aaaages and theyre still sticking around despite being utter frauds

Not managed to catch much action lately, but did watch the 2nd half of St Kilda v Sydney yesterday - down to the wire!

What a game

Good game this, ball looks slippery and we are seeing a few mistakes.

Carn the Catters!!

Not a lot between the teams at HT. Pies trailing 48-44. Reckon they have the edge tho

Going to be a close one I think, good advert for the sport this one.

edit; cue a really shitty 3rd quarter.

 

[jamie-oh]

keep it really tight, im going to run home and hopefully catch the last 15

Collingwood grinding out this quarter. Making it difficult for Geelong.

Still in the balance

Tough watch that last quarter. Scoreline flattered Cats a little bit. Hopefully Elliott came through game with no adverse reaction, and Daicos hasn't done a hamstring. Looking like an average kind of season for Pies tho, doesn't look like they'll be troubling the judges sadly

You should have put the game to bed when on top in the third. Cats defended well but the pies fluffed their lines somewhat.

Cats in control in the last quarter.

Carna Pies!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Total capitulation by Pies. Stands largely empty of Pies fans with ten minutes to go. Those remaining were loudly boooooing

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Well that was embarrassing. Hawthorn completely unopposed in Q4. FT 133-67. Sake!

Yeah, i think the injuries and the season has got to the pies a bit - you can typically expect a bit of drop-off after winning a flag, but that wave of momentum they've been so brilliant at maintaining over the last two and a half seasons has finally petered out. Good things do come to an end.

Personally speaking though, its a good thing - you took Lachie Schultz off us before the season started for a first round draft pick, which felt a bit generous from the pies.
If you'd come - as expected - in the top four this season, it would've been pick 15-18 ish. Now you're looking at finishing much lower, we're in line for pick 6 at the mo, for a forward we were reasonably alright to let go!
reeeeesult!
