Friday Night @ the Dome saw the pies get off to a good start with Rocca banging a big one through, as the first qtr went on the pies extended their lead with one of the goals of the year from the Brazilian Harry O. The Saints pegged the pies back towards the end of the qtr and took a slender lead into qtr time. The second was similar to the first, quick moving exciting football. The Saints got out to a 14 point lead before the skipper lead from the front and kicked one from outside fifty. Thomas finished off a great first half for himself by putting the pies in front on the bell.
The third was controlled by the pies, it contained a now custom Leon Davis goal from the impossible and went through and finished with a dubious free/goal to Lockyer.
The last qtr was again the pies, however the ability to kill off a side was absent again, Didak kicked a goal which put them 16 points clear with 15mins to go however they couldn't continue as the Saints pilled on the pressure. The pies held up in a tight one by 9 points. Best players for the winners include; Didak, Burns, Davis, Thomas and Bryan.

Collingwood returned to the winners week this week with a pretty easy 73 point victory. It was everything we could've hoped for after the disappointing finish last week. Medhurst was simply outstanding and so to Pendlebury and Cloke.
I had to do a fair bit of editing this week so sorry if I have missed your favourite highlight. They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

Cilla forgets Grahams name! The first time in 15 years! I think Cilla must have known that the end was coming! Come back Cilla!
Rivalry round saw more than 70,000 pack into the MCG on Sunday. The magpies were switched on from word go with a huge first term, they looked slick and sharp and moved the ball from one end to the other with ease. The only respite the tigers got was a dodgy 50 paid to hand them a goal. The second wasn't much better for the tigers as the magpies piled on the goals at one stage leading by 71-17. Towards the end of the half the foot came off the gas allowing the tigers to ger a few. The second half was pretty much goal for goal with Shaw and Thomas putting in contenders for mark of the round. Wood finished it off the game with a great mark and his first goal, the pies running out winners by 44 points. Best were Medhurst, Shaw, Thomas, Didak, Davis and Shaw. The backline again held firm.

"Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seem to be (uh-uh)
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream (that's right)
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living your life, after death
Chorus: Faith Evans
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
[Puff] I miss you Big
Verse Two: Puff Daddy
It's kinda hard with you not around (yeah)
Know you in heaven smilin down (eheh)
Watchin us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need (uh-huh) to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts Big I just can't define (can't define)
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us in the 6, shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks
Makin hits, stages they receive you on
I still can't believe you're gone (can't believe you're gone)
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living you're life, after death
Chorus
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
[Faith Evans] Somebody tell me why
Interlude: Faith Evans
One Glad Morning
When this life is over
I know
I'll see your face
Outro: 112
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
Every night I pray, every step I take
[Puff] Every day that passes
Every move I make, every single day
[Puff] Is a day that I get closer
[Puff] To seeing you again
Every night I pray, every step I take
[Puff] We miss you Big... and we won't stop
Every move I make, every single day
[Puff] Cause we can't stop... that's right
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
[Puff] We miss you Big

Every step I take, every move I make

Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray

Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray

What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you"

It was a case of welcome for the 45,000 strong crowd who witnessed the start of what many hope to be a promising magpie season. The Pies hosted the Dockers at the MCG, and started the more prominant. Rocca and Didak getting the pies going. For the rest of the day it was pretty much goal for goal with nothing more than two goals in it. That was until the last quarter when a fitter and supieror magpies outfit flexed it's muscle running out 20+ point winners. Best for the pies were Swan, H Shaw, R Shaw and the leading goal kicker Anthony Rocca who kicked 6. A special congrats must go to Browny and Woody, welcome to senior black and white footy.

In what was the most tightly contested last quarters since the 02 grand final, the pies somehow clawed their way off the floor and found a way to tie the game during the normal game time. Finals draws = Extra time, and it seemed the pies players had more legs. The young brigade lead the pies into a prelim final with Pendles, Thomas, Goldsack brilliant, also deserving of notice were the unsung hereos in Didak, Davis and Medhurst whose forward and midfield pressure ensured the pies could get over the line. Dane Swan was the pies best with 38 possies and 11 clearences including 9(?) from the centre. Amazing performance in an Amazing match.
Collingwood made the finals for the second straight year and this time faced up against the Swans. After twice beating them through the season the pies were hell bent on repeating that result on the big stage. The young magpies tackled and pressured Sydney into many mistakes, leading by 5 goals at QTR time. The Swans lifted through Goodes and Micky O to trail by only 4 points early in the 3rd. An amazing turn around then came over the game, with Rocca, Buckley, Pendlebury, Cloke and Rusling asserting their dominance over the game. The pies ran away with the victory by 38 points. They were happy to avenage a finals loss from last year and move on into the Semi Finals to take on the depleted WCE.
Collingwood for the first time in season 2007 went into battle with its champion Nathan Buckley leading them out, in what was always going to be an emotional game for the champ he provided the first of the games highlights when he pin pointed dale thomas in side 50. From then on it looked like Collingwoods night. Sydney faught back early in the second only to find O'bree and Pendles back in there best clearence form. Led by young FF Shaun Rusling (4 goals 3) the pies were way to good for the swans running out 5 goal winners. The pies now have a slim chance of making the top 4, but require a few results to go there way.
BOG for pies - Scott Pendlebury, Sean Rusling and Tyson Goldsack.
A second straight Friday night game for the pies this week against the dees and david nietz 300th game. The pies came out hard and played some magical footy in the first half with great goals from davis and didak. Burns and Swan prolific early. An unfortunate incident involving BJ sparked a Melbourne comeback but to the pies credit they held on to record there 12 victory of 2007.

Collingwood bounced back against old foes Carlton. At half time they looked shaky but 5 2nd half goals from big forward Anthony Rocca changed the game. A consistant match from Travis Cloke who put in 4 of his own. Collingwood are back on track with a 24 point victory.
