How frustrating were the umpries today? Countless times they would give away the softest free kicks not to mention the one to Robertson right in front of goal. It seems in the past few years we cannot play well against Melbourne and i cannot see why. They arn't that good.
Anyway a few positives from the game was our youngsters in the backline. Stanners played well i thought. Was moved onto Robbo, which was a big move and did ok. The other one was Goldsack. Attacked the footy. Spoiled well and carried the ball. Looks the good so far.
Disappointing efforts today but i give credit to Melbourne they out played us today.

mate, stanners was not good, he wasnt our worst, but he had 5 goals kicked on him, lets not get to ahead of ourselves.

Toovey needs to go
Lonie in!
Stanley was screwed because he had to play on Robbo in his first game. We just didn't have the defensive players to win this game.
Good effort to come back from 6 goals down to almost hit the front, but some poor umpiring and some poor disposals stopped any chance we had.
Toovey shouldn't of played, we should of brought Cox in i reckon.
Wakes also showed that AFL has passed him by, been a great servant but his time is up.

Melbourne are in deep trouble if they can only beat us by a few goals. Rocca, Medhurst and a few others were useless and the umpires were just plain shit.
Can't wait to beat those pricks in round 20.
In: Lonie, Lucuria
Out: Stanley, Tooves.
haha dont forget mate we were left with 2 on the bench for majority of the match with neitz and johnstone getting injured... thats to go with yze being a late withdrawal.

Yes very true but first gamer playing on a bloody good forward? Was very tough on the kid. I agree with you on he wasn't our worst but he did do a couple of good things. He is one of the younger kids on our list, just needs some experience.

i wasnt havn a dig at him, i just dont think it was a real positive, though he wasnt a negative, he has played on Robbo before and Stanners got bog.

yep and we had our best 22 on the field and had no injuries what so ever...:rolleyes:
u did play well though esp the first qtr which basically killed us
haha! suck shit.
i guess you guys got whats coming to you. you know you're in trouble when you lose to a side like melbourne.
you guys dont even deserve to be in the top 8 IMO. come september, if you guys are still there you dont stand a chance. when will you realise that your team is shit? We wouldve beaten you if we hadnt gone to sleep in the 4th.
PS how much longer can you blame the umpires for your team's shit effort?

We lost today because of a number of reasons (and in this order);
1 - Like many times this year we could not start with the right intensity
2 - MM was again outcoached by Neale Daniher. Why he had Stanley and Toovey on Robbo was a disgrace. He never once put Wakes, Maxy or goldsack there.
3 - MM refused to zone the kickouts instead giving them a free run on the huddle all day.
4 - The umps were disgraceful. Honestly worst I have seen in a long time. Will be interested what comes of it.
5 - Our young backs were just outgunned. Again, not sure coach gave them best chance.
6 - The fwds, namely Rocca and Medhurst were a joke. Did not have a go.

Your a class act.
The start killed us today and we couldn't get back in front. We kept battling though, so that's a positive.
Harry's injury will hurt us. We really need Clement back next game.

Agree with all of that. Wasn't Goldsack put on Robertson at the end? Doesn't matter though, the damage had already been done.

Snoop Dog, you left off reason number 7
MM did not anticipate how hungry Melbourne were to win this game.
I honestly looked forward to winning this game and our comeback was quintessential Collingwood.
But I've been around long enough to know that the Pies can overstimate their opposition and we have an ugly fourth quater fade out.
We'll still make finals - I hope it's from skills and not relying on the other teams stuffing up.

i suppose i am, supporting a team on the way up. Only because there isn't any further down you could go. Get some class and get into the eight before you try and start bagging our team.
Back on topic: We lost simply because we had an ineffectual forwardline. We kept turning the ball over inside the 40-50 metre zone. Rocca was held well and our crumbers were crowded.
In all honesty, apart from the odd contest, I think we won it everywhere else.

I was really impressed with how your blokes fought back today, especially after losing O'brien so early. I know first hand how much losing a bloke early fcks up your team, but your boys kept battling on.
The umpires were terrible all round today, Rocca was clearly being held in some instances, and Mclean getting fifty for throwing the ball into a chair?!?!:confused: Not too mention the ludicrous hands in the back inconsistency.
Once you guys get your defense back you'll be right up there this year :thumbsu:
AS my name says I'm a fan of MM but today he was wrong to not put maxwell onto robbo earlier. when netiz went off he was the only one who would hurt us and he did. Obree needs to go not just on today he is not our future either is Licca been great for the club but get the kids in. Take the pain now for future gain

Basically, we lost today not because we had a poor under manned backline but because our forward line was like a trampoline and none of the forwards worked hard enough. Our Midfield got control of the game from quarter time and we couldn't put the score on the board. I do agree that Malthouse left Stanley on robertson too long but hey let's face it with the way the umpires were going we were always up against it. I have never felt so frustrated at the umpiring as I did today. Especially the no 19. He lost control of the game and was calling everything.
The good thing to realise as a Pie supporter is Jimmy and presti are back next game. If either of those played today, we would have probably got up in an ugly effirt as Clement would kill Robertson.
One player I would like to see dropped is Nick Maxwell. Never mans up and is always lead to the ball. If it wasn't for Harry going down, I would be sending Maxwell back to Willi.

ONly heard it on the radio but sounds like MM had one of his bad ones. Why was Swan used only in defense - probably our form and most dangerous attacking midfielder. Maybe he is carrying something, that is the only excuse for wasting him as a defender. Maybe he was supposed to play Rhyce's role but it didn't work.
But it does sound like they matched us for pressure which has been one of our main strengths.

If you want to compare, we had Buckley, Clement, Presti, Licuria, Shaw, Rusling and Lonie.

Pretty much spot on Snoop. Particularly the Melbourne kickouts, they hit someone in space (and by space, I mean f**king acres) every time. Here are a few more
1. Half Forwards being reactive instead of proactive
2. MM not assigning someone with a bit of leg speed to pick up Bate. It was blatantly obvious that he was the target proceding a kickout. Don't know how many times he outsprinted an opponent to have a uncontested mark. He killed us all day.
3. Inept midfielders who have no ticker (Scott Burns you forever will be excused)
4. Our inability to lock the ball in our forward fifty. When was the last time we created a stoppage inside our fifty or better yet, within 15 - 25m of goals.
5. Serious lack of leg speed up forward.
6. Forwards who are willing to have one effort and lay one tackle when the ball is in dispute, and then just watch as the opposition waltzes out of forward line with ease.
7. Shane O'Bree continuing to get a game
8. Ability to get numbers to the contest

Stanley and Toovs were the only options on Robbo - the other blokes are too slow.
Toovs was beating Davey when he got moved to Robbo, but Stanners was getting a bit of a tocuh up.
In my opinion, not much either of them could do. Robbo is a quality player, was getting good blocks from his fellow forwards and getting silver service from his midfield.
Sometimes forwards are just unstoppable, anyone call for Clements head when Nathan Brown kicks 5 on him in a quarter? Stanners gave Robbo a touch up in the VFL when he wasn't gtting helpf from experienced forwards and perfect delivery from and elite midfield like Maclean, Bruce and Davey.

Clement is easily the best defender in the comp along with Scarlett. Rhyce Shaw has been one of the best small running defenders going this season, and Licuria has been on of the best taggers in the business for a few years. Granted he was crap in the games he's played so far, but was obviously injured, has come back and was BOG in the seconds last week. Lonie adds the class by foot when he is on form, something we actually really need at the moment.

You ****er. Presti is easily in the top 5 full backs in the comp. It is very rare any forward he plays on kicks a bag. That's all we need from him, he's a defender, he does that as well as anyone, we have attacking defenders who do that job.

You are right he is not one of the best. He is the best. No other defender can shut down both talls and smalls like he can, no other defender has been able to shut down James Hird like he has. Very few other defenders can do all those things and have such a fantastic kick and attacking game. There is no other defender in the league you would swap him for.
Don't really care whether Shaw has proven himself to everyone yet, he's proven to Collingwood fans that he is a very important part of our side. Licuria hasn't played much as a tagger lately, certainly not this year, but he provides that hardness in the middle for us when he's on form.

With all due respect, Presti was once one of the best defenders in the league. Last 2 seasons or so havnt been his best. Still has small influence when he is in the side, but he is far from an influencial player for your side, imo.
You were raped by the umpires today, granted. I think they were inconsistent both ways, but your fowards just lost confidence early on and it cost them through stupid free kicks and hands in the backs. And yes, Robbo should have given away a free-kick, but the replay shows the umpire wasnt in position to see it (he was behind a collingwood player) and so payed the mark although Robbo's hands were on the back.
Don't worry, not all Melbourne supporters are ignorant fools. But seriously, everyone needs to stop bitching. You just lower yourselves down even more.

Moloney-another hard bodied, long kicking midfielder.
Pickett-well not in our best 22, unless hes fit.

Your entire post is a waste of electrons.
