True Believers,
Well that was fun. I didn’t see it. Anyone who watched it, we’d love to hear your comments?
Reports at http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/2016/8/bl-v-coll and http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-match-report/collingwood-v-brisbane-magpies-get-big-win-over-lions-20160514-govco5.html.
A good result; was this because of our performance or due to theirs? Like always, probably a bit of both. From the Match Report: “The Magpies weren’t always clean, but they were committed and had a clear game-plan the hosts simply refused to match.” Love it – addresses a couple of key points I have been harping on about.
‘Experts’ views – http://www.theage.com.au/afl/expert-tipsters? 18 picked Brisbane (including Connolly and Baum); 6 picked us. The margins were pathetic – Best pick I’ve seen: me, margin – 69 points. Got Treloar and Cox pretty right too; pity about Trav.
