Round 5 Non-Essington Games

Howes quad iced big time

Brisbane will be out of the 8 in a few days… after all the hype a week ago

It’s absolutely a 50/50 game.

Brisbane: Briefly was a shooting star, now just a bit of rock.

Smashed two weeks in a row

Honey moon period over

Not as seedy as Christensen though.

What if we win? What then?

We must have softened them up for the filth… cwood always seem to get teams the week after the opposition has travelled.

Interested to watch Rayner’s progress this year - Undoubted talent but he plays like a millionaire - He has a bit to learn.

Then we are just ■■■■■■ next week

All of Collingwood goals came so easy whereas Brisbane had to scrap for most of their goals. Their forwards took a lot of marks on the lead - nearly all their kicks were finding targets last night. Did they have a great night? Or did Brisbane fail to put enough pressure on their entries.

Last night, and last week, was nothing more than a young side getting their tails cut by better, more experienced opponents. Now the hype surrounding the Lions should dissipate to a degree.

Last 2 weeks Collingwood have played opponents coming off 5 day breaks. Next week we’ll be coming off 2 consecutive 6 day breaks while they have a full week. Luck of the draw eh?

A lot of conspiracy theories but no one has mentioned that for all the hate Collingwood are a pretty darn good side.

They’ve assembled a group with alot of players from other clubs, wonder how they’re all being paid outside the cap…

Probably the same way we’re paying Stringer, Shiel, Smith, Saad, Stewart, etc who all were poached from other clubs I’d guess?

There’s a lot of reasons to despise Collingwood, from the free pass their president continually gets despite a level of racism that’s get anyone else in the industry sacked, to the armchair ride the afl always gives them with the fixture, etc etc etc. but ragging them for having too many high paid recruits nicked from other teams is a bit too pot kettle black for me tbh…

It must be awesome to be umpires’ darlings.

They’re up and down, just like everyone else.
