A 40 odd point win over Hawthorn who were hardly sighted in the first half is pathetic. Being out scored by Hawthorn in the second half, should not happen if Collingwood is top 4 material.
We deserved to lose, and thus we did, however they had no chance to win when in the first quarter and a bit the Pies received 4 gift goals from pathetic umpiring decisions..... say what you want, but the fact is.... when ya playing 25 men its mighty hard to get any enthusiasm up.
Collingwood with that help (first half) should have had a bigger win. But then when the umpriing was more reasonable in the second half, Collingwood were outscored by the team at 14 on the ladder.
Some good individual performances from the pies and a solid win in the overall scheme of things, but by no means impressive.
Also if Ben Johnson isn't suspended for negligent high contact made with enough force to concuss Croad (Johnson had no eyes for the ball, but I don't believe it was intentional either, just sloppy), then the AFL really is setting the Pies up for a top 4 finish by helping all they can.
And before anyone says I am just bitter, it's not just that... I know my team is a couple years away from even being in finals contention... I just thought I would give my opinion on that Collingwood performance, cos there was more to say about that, than Hawthorns performance. Only bloke who played a solid 4 quarters was Browny, wouldn't ya love him in ya team? a Bloody tough nut he is!
So yeah Collignowod have the easy run home, but they'll get knocked out before the Grand Final if they have to face any other top 4 side before the GF.... might be able to pinch a spot from the Eagles tho, which will leave the Eagles vulnerable, and Adelaide ome and hosed.

"It's hard to soar like an eagle (magpie) when you are surrounded by turkeys (hawks)"
Yes the Hawks managed to bring the mighty Pies down to their level.
Have you heard of the term 'junk time' when the losing opposition manage to kick some goals when the game is over. Well junk time started at half time last night.
Go Pies

andrew3134 said:please name half the Collingwood team that pulls out of marking contests, would be very interested to hear who they are, especially coming from someone that goes to Collingwood matches everyweek. Or are you just basing that opinion on one contest you saw last night, which i dare say you are.
