As a lifelong passionate Collingwood supporter who was at the Grand Final with my tribe, this game was very hard to process, especially after the emotions of 2018, 2011, 2003 & 2002 lingering in the background. It was sensory and emotional overload for us Pies supporters to the point that we weren't able to really take it all in because we literally had to wait until the siren to let out what was within. That raw emotion translated in to the loudest roar of relief ever at the end of the game. One of the loudest cheers and shows of emotion was when Sidey was slung in that tackle resulting in that 50m penalty towards the end. If you have a look at the Pies supporters in the background, every single person was out of their seats and motioned for the 50. It was a sight and a noise to behold and the defining moment of the game. Aside from that game changing moment, you may notice on replay that outside of the first Nick Daicos Goal, Pendlebury, Degoey and the Sidebottom goals, we Pies supporters were relatively subdued and not really really able to take in the game because of the sheer magnitude of what was at stake, the level of intensity combined with the fear of being heartbroken. I feel that concentration by the supporters actually made all the difference to the energy in the stadium and somehow contributed to the Amazing outcome. For once we didn't get ahead of ourselves and that is the great lesson! We remained present and in the moment, waiting for it to unfold without any resistance or attachment to outcome. It was like keeping the lid on a pressure cooker and not releasing it until we were cooked 😉 The players sensed that too and everyone I speak to agrees the game was a dream-like blur...and in need of a second watch to take it all in and fully appreciate it for the spectacle it was. By the end of this game a lot of supporters were mentally and physically spent after 2 years of unbelievably close games. It all culminated in the 2023 Premiership 🏆 and boy was it worth the energy and emotion. What a wild ride! Unlike anything ever seen in AFL History with all those close victories. This Legendary Grand Final is precisely like Pendlebury...it will age like a fine wine and get better with time! As we have witnessed, Themes definitely do count for something..."Made it Legendary" P.S. Interesting observation to contemplate... 02 & 03 makes 23 (2-0-23) meaning the two Grand finals will be zero'd out in 23, and more than made up for those two grand finals against the Lions, of which coincidentally, two individuals, McRae and Leppa were an integral part of. It's like there was an intelligent master plan that required precisely 20 years (making it 20 '23) of patience to ripen, mature and unfold. How phenomenal is that??? A 20 year wait making it 20-23 to get karma for 02/03! There are so many significant narratives associated with this game and season, not least the birth of McRae's baby 🍼 on the same day, that it has captured the imagination of AFL fans, reporters and commentators alike, no matter who one barrack's for and as a result will go down as folklore.
TY for explaining the 23 thing. It would have driven me crazy until I found out. Like you, it’s been a ride. I have been at the G for 6 losses, 2 draws and 2 wins “missed 90, was in Kuwait” working. I have viewed every possible interview on this game and I totally understand what they did in this 2 years. It’s magical what came together on that day.
@@nevmat1595 wow, that's quite a ride! it was indeed. It brought Great pleasure to all of us. One of my friends said the feeling was right up there with the birth of his children.
@@grainjah a small number did and always will but the majority do not and did not. Don't be lumping everyone into that basket because we don't boo. We celebrate everyone and everything. They are all professional athletes and must be appreciated for without them we wouldn't have a game to watch or enjoy.
Fabulous insights Pendles. Super interview too. I went to 8 Grand finals, one a draw, which we lost between 1964-1989. Losses In 1964 by 4 points, 1966 by 1 point, 2002 by 9 points, 2018 by 5 points. THIS TIME WE WERE READY. Collingwood legends forever: Pendlebury; Sidebottom; De Goey; Crisp; Mitchell; Hill, the whole team & coaches. I'm so proud. COLLINGWOOD. COLLINGWOOD. COLLINGWOOD. Our fighting words that haunt opposition teams. Fly: "We are NOT finished yet!". Bring it on Magpies. Carn the Pies.
thank god we got this bloke at pick 5 ,,,thank god, ,,,,,without him there was no way we would have taken home the cup,, a true champion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,game overrrrrrrrrrr
You are are real champion loved watching from the start to now you are to me the best Collingwood player and looks like play 3 more years and a great teacher 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow! I mean wow! That was the most enthralling podcast viewed from an old school life long Collingwood diehard supporter! & with ears to hear & mind enough to quantify! I can safely say? Or assume in liew of possible perceived bias? That this brilliant Collingwood champion! Will be the most sought after coach in waiting! I got a feeling his coaching whenever it be? will become modern day legendary stuff to become folklore
This is as good an insight into a game, a humans thoughts and how bloody good he is. Pendles has to be up there as the best as a player, but as a football brain? Maybe the best ever!
I grew up idolising Peter Daicos. Never thought anyone would surpass him - this man has. That last quarter was something to behold - I would have awarded him the Norm Smith for that quarter alone
You are a true champion Pendles. Heart and soul 🖤🤍🖤🤍🏆🏆
Got that right
He is a lovely guy and one of the Best players😊
You are a Collingwood legend Scott (The spiritual leader of the Mighty Maggies) Go Pendles, Go Pies...
What a great human Pendles is. Just an amazing role model for young AND old! The greatest player to ever put the black and white on! ❤
Led the pies to the cup in that last quarter. What a champion! Congrats Pendles. 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Absolute champion mate doesn’t get better than this bloke
World needs more men like Pendlebury. Stoic and respectful.
