Interesting stat: Aaron Francis took 5x the amount of marks than Draper and Phillips combined this round!
Was replaced by WEEEEED
The hurt will continue, because I can assure you this wonāt be the last ANZAC medal Daicos will be awarded in the years ahead.
At the ball ups throughout the day Collingwood always had a player about 10-15m away without an opponent. More often than not that player got the ball and was a link in their quick ball movement. How did our coaching staff allow that to happen?
Because our spare was in the D50
you monster
That didnāt work well - watch all Collingwood quick kicks or handballs forward going their plus one around the stoppages.
Theyāve been sitting off opponents all year, they apply pressure in the fwd50
2 premierships since 59. Pendlebury and Sidebottom are generational players with one premiership to show for it.
Most of those chanting probably need to be in prison or drug rehabilitation clinics.
Donāt let them get you down. They donāt deserve it.
Agree it didnāt work today. In our past few games weāve scored well coming out of defence in numbersā¦didnāt use our spare well, didnāt use the corridor often and were then beaten around the ball by what we know (Pendlebury, Sidebottom etc)
Maybe we could take some ālearningsā from the game?
Saw Rutten in the Richmond box last night and thought thank god weāre done with that
I assume DāAmbrosio was dropped for lack of defensive efforts, I mean he got 27 possessions in his last game.
Hind is possibly similar, not a great defender
Agree but todays goals by the smalls werenāt from body positioning, more general play, crumbing which our guys can handle
They did well in dragging Redman out of the play. It was really McGrath or bust.
Hind should have played over Davey who was overawed. And I am no Hind fan.
Almost time to get games into Bryan I think. Phillips is stop gap at best.
In the last qtr our injury list told the tale.
There was a Collingwood āgentlemanā in front of meā¦olderā¦stick thinā¦ā¦sleeveless shirt that was unbearable. Got up and started waving the Essendon supporters leaving and commenced with the āCollingwoodā chant.
I may haveā¦.may haveā¦.made a loud-ish comment about seeing the track marks on his arm.
Iām sure if there were any Essendon supporters around me, they would have appreciated it.
I would have.
I would have too. Let it out.
Especially when Lav went down. It changed the course of the game IMO.
