I’m honestly ready to never hear another word about this game or Scott Pendlebury ever again but actually thought the gold numbers for the whole team were cool? Can’t understand the hate for it. #AFLPiesEagles
I hate “honourable loss” stuff but WCE had nine MCG debutants in front of 90k and everything else against them today. Wouldn’t call it a highlight for this era but it’s something. #AFLPiesEagles
Random memory - the Pies also played the Eagles at the MCG the day Brent Harvey broke the record in 2016. Fond personal memory as it was the first game I called at the G. Malcolm Karpany debuted. Still think about you, Mal.
@drhfffurrr Firstly, you’re wrong (the difference in number of games from era to era is negligible) + modern footy/injuries/player management means players still miss plenty anyway. Secondly you don’t need to be a prick to people on the internet just because you don’t know them.
As a young footy fan in the 90s, the 400 mark seemed almost a mythical thing (with just Bartlett and Tuck for a long time). I can’t believe we’ve seen four others cross the mark since.
Giants’ (4-6) worst start to a season since… 2023, Kingsley’s first year, when they were 3-7 at the same stage, then won 12/15 and lost the prelim by a point.
