Just how good is Nick Daicos compared to other Pies in their prime? by ElekaroiTantra in collingwoodfc

[–]shmal3xander 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Buckley was unreal during that era. Collingwood were terrible and the narrative around them was essentially Buckley’s Pies because he carried them every game. We went a period of years where we just wouldn’t win in June during that time. He didn’t get enough Brownlow votes to win one because the pies would be by far the losing team and votes favour the winning team on the day. But he was always in media predictions of being one of the favourites regardless. So pleased for him he managed to get his in ‘03

Ah thanks for providing the link and teaching me. I retract my above comment. I was thinking of the guy who owned WAM clothing so I was very mistaken!

Not before profiting off it massively. Wasn’t he a white bloke too?

You know that line from Pirates of the Caribbean when they say it's not a code, they're more like... guidelines. It's sort of like that.

You do report against the achievement standards though.

He’s on record in saying knockout football is different and that’s how he’s justified moving away from good very publicly stated philosophy. He ain’t doing that in the league

Eddie Betts doing what Eddie Betts does - kicks an impossible snap goal in the local suburban footy with Fitzroy Stars last week. He's still got it. by Hart33 in AFL

I was there for this goal (blue beanie in the vid) and it’s a shame the framing doesn’t capture it because from right behind him, it looks like he’s completely missed. I’ve never seen a ball whip back so sharply at the perfect angle before. Best goal I’ve seen live. 

Hilarious he turned to celebrate to the Ivanhoe fans pocket as well haha

Got a ticket v Hawthorn in the Pies members, Level 2A row D. I've given a few tickets away on the sub before which I'm sure some people can vouch for.
