well i will give my verdict on the pies in this thread first as i know shoes or kyle will start a praise thread.
but that was extremly impressive, they are a real deal side!!
the cats looks like the Brisbane Bears of Old lol they got smashed everywhere.
The Turnaround for pies has been because of:
Fraser, Buckley, Rocca and a few others back to full fitness levels and the emerging talent of Swan, Shaw and Thomas.
They look impressive and are in the running for a top 4 spot. Tonight was their first real win as their previous best was against the hawks who are holding on to 8th spot and the cats are actually a quality side.
but hey it helps anyteam when you are the richest side in the AFL , have the best facilitys in the competition, have the best schedual in the competition and have 70 000 fans screaming everytime someone gets the ball and booing the shit out of the opposition that gets it lol.
I dunno about best facilities, Waverley Park's upgrade is to the standard of NFL training facilities, based on former Superbowl champ Green bay packers setup.... so I'd argue that Waverley Park has more than the Lexus Centre... maybe they have 2nd best facilities
I agree there, thats the one rule i would like bought in from the pre-season comp (or possibly the play on after a poster that makes the game fun!! lol)
