Game On! Pies v. Giants. Updates, all comments.

Never play Ash Johnson again. Every team has big marking forwards and we go and recruit midgets.

I honestly thought the lack of a KPF would cost us the flag last season. Thank goodness it didn't. But it sure will this year. As I said before, every team is going to steal our game plan and improve 10-20 percent. If we stand still we might even miss the eight. Unthinkable for sure, but look at the competition this year. I seriously think there will be at least 14 teams battling for position in the eight. It's in our hands.

[Raw Hammer]

Outcoached.
Playing talls on all our small forwards.
Not one winner inside F50.
Running forward and in waves everywhere waiting for a mistake from us.
Poor goal kicking the GF, the Richmond game last week, and tonight. Pathetic really.

[Haff]

Drag JDG. Anyone else see those two insipid efforts then turned and argued with the umpire.

[shawthing]

This game is a concern, in the sense that last year we came out in Rd 1 with all guns blazing.
This year, we have come out in disarray, as if we have lost all understanding of our system.
This has sapped our energy, and there has been little will shown to turn around the effort.
Worried by this start.

You know we ALL should have seen this coming when we gave up an early lead to be poleaxed by North Melbourne in the practice match. I mean it was only a praccy match, but yeah...

Checkers! GOAL!

GWS 89-55 Collingwood.

Big shout out to Sidey, the little dynamo never gives up, if all our players showed his utter determination, we would be right in this match.

The drought has ended.
Let's now hope for a Noah like deluge.

Two big GWS forwards 9 goals between them.

I think McStay is a huge loss for us, really, it was him that really gave these Orange pricks hell in the PF, we will miss him for sure. Just have to try an cover for his absence.

Well doesn't Cox look like a dickhead now.

Sidney and WHE been our best.

[The Black and White Lion]

Just rebooted my Kayo service but no good. Can’t erase this performance. Hopefully we can find a highlight in the last 15minutes. We seem to be aiming for the lowlights though

[Pies4shaw]

GWS away from home will be one of our toughest fixtures of the year.

We haven’t played well, but I don’t see it any being worse than this during the year.

So many premierships, over the years, have been lost by the middle of March - it's hard to see how the team could possibly recover.

[shawthing]

It's not the loss so much as the way we've been utterly dismantled. Embarrassing. I remember this happening in 1991.

[Piesnchess]

Well doesn't Cox look like a dickhead now.

Oh come on, we have had at least ten other players put in a shocker too, not just him, this is Pendles worst game ever id say.
