The end comes quickly | Pies Nation
The last few days have served as a brutal reminder on how quick things can change in football.

Pies Nation: Drawing To Win featuring Pete Helliar
It was another case of deja vu as the Pies and the Hawks played out a draw for the second time this season, and although it was the full four points that were on offer, the signs we saw at the MCG on Saturday suggest that for this season and beyond, things are looking good at the Collingwood...

Pies Nation: Purrly Outplayed
It was another disappointing effort against the Cats, as our six-game winning run comes to an end with a 25-point loss at the MCG on Thursday night, and with some more injury carnage to endure, the attention quickly turns to maintaining our place in the top 10 with three games remaining. Join...

Pies Nation: Frozen
Unfortunately, it was more of the same from the Pies on Monday who were in for the fight, but could not finish off the job, going down to Melbourne by eight points on King’s Birthday, leaving outside the top 10 heading into the bye and leaving us wondering if there’s some triggers we need to pull...

How fitting that this is episode 10 of the season, as we tuned into Anzac Day and watched a masterclass from THE master.

-
Pies Nation: Daicos Delights Again
