Toast Round 6 = Collingwood 90-77 Essendon

[Jen2310]

Looking forward to when Cox/Cameron and/ or McStay are back and Johnson does not have to play ruck. Believe that us when the real fireworks will start

On SM-N975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Its gonna be very interesting when that time comes. As given our small forward brigade, dont think we have the luxury of playing a third tall along with cameron and cox and mihocek and mcstay. So either we play 2 rucks and the other talls. Or 1 ruck and Johnson as a forward/ruck.

Or Johnson instead of McStay which on current form would be the obvious choice.

In fairness, Brisbane knew it was coming, it did not come.
Glad it came tonight though.

Brisbane were too far ahead to see it coming

But wont happen, lets be serious. lol

Why?

If McStay continues to underperform and Johnson fires it's a given, pretty sure McRae won't give a stuff about some ludicrous contract.

I think they play different roles.Mcstay is a big body that brings the ball to ground, brings the smalls into it and a selfless team player. Johnson more your 3rd tall high flying forward. Hasnt been under performing in the eyes of the coaches. They know what they want from him.
Dan's the man.

Exactly. This comparing roles of McStay and AJ is ridiculous

 

[Black_White]

I was surprised by this as well.
I really thought he didn’t like the pies?!?
Was good to see.

I think the removal of both the President and the coach has seen him come back to the greatest club in the world.

 

[Exambolor]

Maybe should have done this last week eh Jack?

 

[Go Woods]

Except for the draw ... now that was a game...
I was there!

Yep, so was I

 

[SuperSteele22]

Something that has dawned on me, is how incredible a feeling it is to be down by 5 goals at 3QT, and be able to say to the people I'm with "we're winning this" with supreme confidence. And then to sit back and watch it eventuate is like walking on clouds

 

[jmac70]

Some very quiet Bomber supporters at work today.

Gold.

"I once punched Nick Daicos in the guts because I couldn't stop him".

Doesn’t materially effect the fit blokes, eh!

 

[gopies1981]

It’s Richmond, isn’t it? Richmond?

It’s got to be the Tigers.

Where’s Richmond??? Where’s their tiger army?? Lol proves that Collingwood is the biggest club in the competition. Essendon second biggest but where is Richmond?? Lol

Minnows

The players currently in the side need to take the attitude - for sure Howe, Lipinski and McStay will come back into the team, but someone else can make way for them.

Know the feeling mate.

Just had this feeling we'd fight back hard in the last quarter. You have to have confidence after what this team did last year.

 

[Quicky]

Johnson should be a lock on form. The selection decision should be Cox v McStay.

Caldwell fined for striking Nick

MATCH REVIEW: Bomber learns fate for Daicos strike

Jye Caldwell has been cited for his strike on Collingwood's Nick Daicos on Anzac Day

Of course. **** the AFL man

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Anyone else noticing a common denominator here?
(apologies if already posted)

You can go further:

• Round 4 1977 (Rich vs Coll) = 92,436
• Round 6 2019 (Ess vs Coll) = 92,241
• Round 6 2014 (Coll vs Ess) = 91,731

The top 8 biggest H&A crowds have all involved Collingwood.

The top 10 biggest H&A crowds have involved Collingwood 9 times.

The top 20 biggest H&A crowds have involved Collingwood 16 times.

Top 20 crowds:

• Collingwood = 16 (8 as the home team)
• Essendon = 16 (6 as the home team)
• Richmond = 4 (3 as the home team)
• Carlton = 2 (1 as the home team)
• Melbourne = 1 (1 as the home team)
• Hawthorn = 1 (1 as the home team)

I think the 1958 record will never be broken.

Of course. * the AFL man

I heard that the first penalty was for Caldwell to polish Nicks boots but they then realised that he wasn’t good enough for that?

Given all the build up and work done to put on the Anzac Day game it seems rather odd to me that when the game has concluded we the television audience immediately went to the news and didn't get to witness the celebration of the players, the awarding of the medal to Nick or the much lauded Darcy Moore

Sorry AFL but that was crap and the game needs to start earlier next year and beyond so it doesn't happen again.

It was on 7mate.

Absolutely and makes slightly more sense than what I suggested.

But my main point was so far McStay hasn't shown anything to warrant an automatic selection.

Just watched the last quarter…again
