I’ll just add, it’s always stupid when we need to wear the white shorts against Collingwood.
Post of the day from Henry.Beating the DJR gif in the VFL thread?
Pies fans aren't used to knowing who the father is.At the game I cried.I did too but that was due to a Collingwood ■■■■■ telling me I was a bad mother because my child was crying and I was bugman5 attend to her.■■■■■■■ brutal year.

Fantastic win despite Collingwood having a 3 man advantage. Some real good signs today, loved the kids work especially
4 man. They had 4 field umpires today and they still were poor.
Was a sensational win!! Needed that win so badly and we got it!!
Positives:
-McKernan is an out and out GUN! Completely destoryed Grundy before he went off and then dominanted their pinch-hitters. Hope he and Bellchambers can form a formidable ruck duo!!
-Stanton is a champion! Deserves the two years!
-Hocking, oh have we missed you!! Competitive beast who gets the ball moving fwd. 3 goals to add to that is probably BOG.
-Fanta was fantastic at HB (bar that miskick that to lead to a 'Pies goal). I have hope he’ll transition into a wing role!
-McKenna is simply brilliant! Have we seriously found our next small fwd? A fwd who crumbs, applies pressure AND kick goals? Yes, we have!
-Langford showed some good signs in the 1st half as a mid. Slowed down a bit in the 2nd but still kept competing.
-Bags, Hurls and Jake were superb in defence. Pears ok.
Negatives:
-Kav played his last game in the AFL for the EFC. Had real talent and potential but for some reason never really showed it.
-Umpires…
Overall, thrilling game. Finally good to see us score soo many goals in one game. Our future is decent. More pre-season work into Gleeson, Lav, Langford and Fanta will be huge. I just hope we can select the right coach!!
This win could be huge, a great way to finish a shisen year and may just help retain some players - always good to finish on a good note.
what happened with that free to daniher in the middle that turned in to a ball up? poor guy can;t even win frees that he wins.
Feel sad tonight, was a great win but knowing that we aren’t going to be able to see Fletch one more time is weird/sad/strange and a sad day for me.
An absolutely champion and both my children have never known life without the great man roaming the back line.
Very pleased the boys could get a win and send Fletch and the others off in style but it just kind of hit me that Inspector Gadget has left the building.
So good that we actually pulled one out. The way things have gone it was looking like we were just going to fall short.
A lot of folk in red & black walking taller tonight with some restored faith & the road ahead sprinkled with promise.

CHECK THE BACK OF YOUR COAT LOVE.
If Stanton isn’t offered minimum 2 years, supporters should burn the solar center to the ■■■■■■■ ground.
Off to collect, hit Dan Murphys for a bottle of Glen Morangie, fire up the spa, & toast the end of this season from hell several many's of times. C'mon Summer, & yes, bring on 2016.

Great to have a win, but holy crap we were terrible. We should have been flogged by 50 points. Or we should have won by 50 points if we could just stop fumbling or 2nd guessing ourselves inside 50.
Cannot fault Hookers game or Stants and the kids showed plenty of glimpses, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves, we are back to hoping “another preseason will make a huge difference” and “everyone will come back from injury and be awesome next year”.
Maybe it’s the way of the future but most of our goals today were “conjured” as opposed to being from good counter attacks or from marks inside 50.
I’m stoked with the win, but we’ve played like that the whole second half of the season, only difference was that they never quite got 3 goals ahead to break us.
And umps FFS.
Anyway, I’m glad we have something to celebrate, it’s been a long time between (celebratory) drinks!
Where was Thomas and O’Keefe?
■■■■■■ hell, winning feels good.
Still 3 wins to go in the reserves though!

That is all.
Oh and Stanton, how ■■■■ was he? Must have run 25 ■■■■ kilometers to go with his 3 ■■■■ goals and 30 ■■■■ disposals and 8 ■■■■ marks.Delist.
Yeh but didnt he handball it and miss a target or something somewhere in the game at some stage??
Remember that bit?
Remember?
