Game Day Thread - Tigers V Pies

Who'd ever.think a Collingwood player would overrated?

I think the younger Daicos looks good. The Browns are both massively overrated. Kmart Dusty is massively overrated. We forced him to have more midfield time yesterday because every time he went forward, Grimes was already running the bath for him and telling him to jump in.

I hate us coughing up the late in quarter goal as much as anyone. And the thread mentioned it a few times yesterday. Just looked at the AFL timeline worm for all our games. We kicked the last goal in 17 of 32 quarters so far this year. Note sometimes the last goal can be up to 8 minutes before the siren so they aren't all last gasp scores. So I think it's more of a loss aversion mindset .. we assign more pain to a late goal against than gain for a late goal for.

What a great day yesterday.

Have this long standing tradition with my two buddies One Tiger and one PIe.
We always attend this game (unless Covid puts a stop to it for 2 years).
There's rules in place.
You can't leave in the 3rd Quarter if your team is getting smashed.
You CAN leave 90 minutes after the game and having bought the Winner the first drink.
Well the first one after the Match finishes anyway. Then proper shouts.
We started imbibing at about 1.15pm

You've got to cop the Theme song and the Winner hugging and headlocking the crap out of you.
(The Pies bloke is about 6ft 6 and I am a short arse so never fun!)
So in recent years these games have been great fun for my Tiger buddy and me.
Ended up getting in a taxi at 6-10pm to head home.
Totally pissed and totally content with the world.

Yellow and (Dustin's Back) Black.

Seriously, the first few pages of this thread are embarassing. The usual suspects too.
Its always amusing reading the first few pages of a game day thread whenever we are at least a point behind at any stage during the first five minutes of the first quarter.
 
A couple of comments from people in the crowd around me brought a smile on my face.
Whenever degoey touched the ball “ well done Kmart “
A few times when Pendlebury got the ball, the guy sitting in front of me turned to his mate and kept saying , “ Do you know he has a basketball background?”

If you hear Collingwood supporters they actually believe they are going places.
They are the next Adelaide/Hawthorn
 
Was that a dig at Hardwick?

No, actually a compliment, ill explain it like this...They are still on their early first dates, inexperienced in their relationship, still finding their way, understanding the game plan etc.
We are married with kids, meaning our list has been built over several years with more experienced players who have 100% knowledge of the game plan = we are contending for and winning flags.

The 3 kids are our premiership cups

Cotchin is one of the greatest players of all time.
Remember the contested possession on the wing in the first quarter.
He evades two C'wood players who collide with each other.
Cotchin must play to 300.
Dusty to 350.
Shedsy can retire at year's end.
Shedsy and Josh's selfless retirement create list space.

Watching the replay.
An amazingly good first quarter by "Thunder" Balta.
Four defensive intercepts and rebounds.
Dom Pérignon footy.

A few a bit harsh on Graham i reckon.

He is always better round 10-22 when the grounds soften up a bit and arent so quick.

He play fairly well i thought.

I did like Mansells little elbow, on that collingwood wanker. worth the week i reckon.

Without giving too much away, a friend of a friend met up with Nick Daicos on Sunday and Daicos opined that "the Tigers are back in town"

Were u in MCC Members Level 4 Q48?
We were 5 rows back in E.
Pretty sure my Tiger mate was shouting that out to DeGoneski. Poor man's Dustin.
And the Basketball comment sounds like something my Pies mate would have said.

The basketball comment was actually said by a Richmond supporter taking the *smile* out of his Collingwood mate
