Unfortunately, the condition of the ground doesn't help anyone.
Players aren't confident enough to fully go through with their kicks for fear of doing a knee.

Yep, shocking game. Smart coaching by Malthouse though. He's making sure when the pies attack that they leave enough numbers outside their 50 to stop us rebounding. I would have thought that after having it done to us 3 times last year Roos would have figured it out by now.

The kicking is pretty poor from both sides but other than that how could a game be boring when Sydney are losing :D.
Kirks a bloody gun.
You've not seen much of St Kilda's first half of the year I take it
This isn't even the worst game of the year, let alone worthy of the hefty... "ever" :o
The contested marking by the Pies forwards is the only redeemable thing about this game.
Sydney's gameplan plus the shocking state of the ground equals a boring game.

Whenever Sydney is playing it's always in contention for worst game. I'm not watching anymore of this crap.
Let's face it, for a neutral, this is shocker.

It seems we get a "worst game of the year/ever" thread on hear every week. With Saints taking the week off, Sydney's a perfect candidate for the tag. :)

Maybe but the past 6 weeks have been against Essendon, Port Adelaide, Richmond, West Coast, St Kilda and Melbourne. Not one of the top 3 teams! Your form is over-rated.
The Sydney folk will love it - at the moment it is a reasonable score for a rugby match. Seriously though - are both these teams really in the 8?

Lucky the AFL pumped this game up so much....
I was shattered in 81' when I played Big M footy at Moorabbin (on the whole ground) and we'd only kicked 1 goal at half time.
Sydney should get points for kicking backwards to even it up.

It just seems that Sydney are scared to take the game on. Totally sticking to the percentages, aiming for total ball security, but as a result Collingwood are able to get players behind the ball & have plenty of time to man up when required. A couple of 50 metre kicks to contests, might help break the shackles, otherwise Sydney are going to struggle to kick 5 goals for the game.

At half time Australia have scored 15 more points in the Union international than Sydney have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on a side note, did anyone see that shiner in the Union? It nearly made me sick!
Wife and I are cheering and toasting every point or out of bounds on the full. Gonna be shitfaced.......:thumbsu:
Unpossible - apparently only the Saints play boring football and we drag everyone down to our level?

Me and my mates did this a few weeks back for the WC Vs Cats game. We skulled every time Ablett got the ball and when ever Geelong kicked a goal, It got a bit messy towards the end.

The only possible things to save this from the worst ever game.
1. Jennifer Hawkins streaks.
2. Barry Hall starts an all in brawl in the last quarter and knocks out two pie players.
3. Sydney learn how to go forward and get within a goal at the end of the game or win.

AD & co just sent the script.
7 goal last quarter to Sydney only to lose by a point.
Hailed as one of the games of the year. Need another Sydney side, too much heart for one NSW team.

no goodes no sydney
Yep. They are shit.
Collingwood just absolutely own Sydney, they are the definitave 'bitches' that a side could ever be. Swans are as uncompetitive as they were in the early 90's. Collingwood just own the space on the ground and control the tempo.
Collingwood own Sydney and have a great record against Geelong. Can someone though please answer....HOW THE F$%# DO THEY LOSE TO CARLTON?????????????????????????????

Sydney basically screw themselves over going into any match against Collingwood with the attitude "its going to happen", Carlton actually play to win.

Sydney are Adelaide's bitches. Adelaide have won 8 of their last 9 encounters over Sydney in the past 6 years. Look forward to our next meeting in 3 weeks.

Yep, it was complete ultra-defensive rubbish football. A truly painful spectacle. :)

The reason is Carlton have a bucketload of raw talent and they know it. They back themselves to take the game on and run over ANY team in the comp rather than having to wait for their opponents to make mistakes like the Pies did last night. Malthouse knows he hasn't got the list talent to have a shootout with the top-8 sides, and so he resorts to this ultradefensive rubbish. The problem last night was that both teams resorted to the same ugly tactics, hence the painful exhibition. :)
worst game of footy i have watched in quite some time.

This is coming from the team that was 6 goals down in the 2nd qtr and they were kicking backwards? Crows r piss poor and will get pumped at the MCG
....beat an undermanned Collingwood by only 10 points on their home ground with two players off the field and unable to return, and a number of players out....
The good ol' Collingwood Supporter failure excuses. lol. They are a football institution. It's almost painful watching Collingwood supporters try to avoid the reality that their list is rubbish. Last night's painful spectacle was no surprise. Both teams will never progress playing that sort of footy. :)

Seriously, it has to be closeI have not heard one commentator or journo claim it was anything like the worst game ever. It was a terrific win by Collingwood who has beaten two teams in the top-4 now, and will be within a half a game of the top-4 themselves this time next week if the favourites win. The game was marred by the length of the grass and the shifting soil of course, so instead of beginning a thread regarding the quality of the game, maybe the quality of the ground would be more apt.
As for your team, Geelong players don't give a stuff about their supporters and are only playing to win for themselves. If Geelong don't win the premiership, then that would be an under achievement. If they do win the premiership, then the supporters are not a part of it, so they have nothing to celebrate. It's a lose-lose situation for Geelong supporters this season.Wife and I are cheering and toasting every point or out of bounds on the full. Gonna be shitfaced.......:thumbsu:Not much going on in Wycheproof on a Sat'day night then?Seriously though - are both these teams really in the 8?Yes, both of them are in the eight. Collingwood beat Sydney by more than the Bulldogs did. When the Bulldogs beat Sydney, the Swans had more scoring shots. A full strength Western Bulldogs beat an undermanned Collingwood by only 10 points on their home ground with two players off the field and unable to return, and a number of players out. I look forward to a Collingwood v. Western Bulldogs rematch in September.The good ol' Collingwood Supporter failure excuses. lol.They are not excuses, but factual observations regarding the Collingwood v. Western Bulldogs match. Which part of my post are you actually disputing as not true?
You barack for a team that you wanted to lose last season. You urged them to lose. You cheered for them to lose. Any supporter such as that has zero credibility regarding their opinion of opposition teams of course.
Do you fair dinkum think that anybody takes your opinion regarding the list of other clubs seriously? If so, then you're even more delusional than you continually show yourself to be. Your team has *won* three wooden spoons in five seasons, and is run by crooks and cheats.
Any team that has been down as long as Carlton has been and received so many top draft choices because of it, should be better than 7 wins and 7 losses by now. Why is it taking so bloody long? Instead, you are arrogant regarding this mediocrity, and their recent collection of wooden spoons.
I'm certainly grateful that Collingwood has not *won* as many wooden spoons as Carlton. I also can't see how Carlton will win any more than three more matches this season when looking at their draw, and I am a Collingwood supporter that has never urged my team to lose, so therefore my opinion means something.

Can I ask, what the hell? I can guarantee that if Geelong win the flag this season, not one Cats supporter will be unhappy. Ridiculous comment. I'd kill for the Pies to be in their position, looking certain of back to back flags.

At least be realistic when trying to insult our club.
Your side is in the exact same position as Swans, you haven't beaten anyone that matters. You'll be out of top 4 contention in the coming weeks (Adelaide, obviously Sydney will be).
I am being realistic, i dont rate any club that is in the top 8 at this moment that loses to carlton...twice

lol. The Pies tried that against the Blues and got thumped a few weeks ago. Remember? The problem is the Pies just don't have the list talent to play that way and win. Malthouse knows that, and that's why you'll see a lot more of that ugly ultradefensive rubbish that we saw last night. :)

From a neutral perspective, I can understand it wasn't highly entertaining (free-flowing, high scoring) albeit for a few cases of individual brilliance, particularly contested marking by Collingwood but any side, supporter and coach would be overly thrilled with the ability to restrict a well respected top 4 side such as Sydney to just 2 goals for 3qtrs.
Worst game ever? Not even close. It's pretty clear that title belongs to games usually involving St Kilda or Hawthorn.
Ridiculously bad surface. Dewy conditions. High pressure game.
There was good footy to be enjoyed but it wasn't often pretty.
Full marks to DT (2 speccys) Cloke (clean grabs and 50+ metre goal) and Didak (some cheeky taps and kick-ons) for making it look like a dry day from time to time.
