NAB Cup Round 2 - Collingwood vs Melbourne Matchday Discussion.

[ksardog]

Firstly buckley,young and sinclair are clearly not up to it.
Mooney i would like to c get the opportunity in the VFL side to develop as an on ball tagger, let him follow the oppositions best midfielder and get a better understanding of the game, athletically he looks incredible and skills r ok, just needs to b fast tracked into learning the game.
Keeffe has been ok,yagmoor and williams good.
Scares me if we r going to centre the ball if players like toovey,maxwell will be doing the centreing.
To b honest we look shit, dawes should never play ruck , cant win a hit out.better off playin mcnamara or witts as second ruck
Ball handling as been terrible by most tonight.

I'm glad to hear that Reid is doing well. I keep having flash backs of his injury inhibited performance in the GF.

Is daisy playing forward?

 

[JOELY]

Yagmoor impressive again. Nothing ostentatious, but nice quick hands in traffic, and he kicks it sweetly off the left. Mooney exceeding expectations, just needs to hit the rule book.

Dawes is just there to compete for the most part, you can't really say Leigh Brown was a marvelous ruckman but he did what was needed in 2010.

Young has gotten a huge amount of the pill, his disposal is just a little bit sketchy - but that being said so is 35 other players' out there.

Bit harsh on Sinclair, thought he has been tenacious as hell all night and done well competing and applying forward pressure.

Agree with Buckley though, same flaws we've seen in his game for too long - his time is limited.

Keefe is fairly rubbish, just quietly.

 

[legendstatus]

Very early but this is an ordinary start....Toovey is so bad that I'm laughing...Dawes soft and no second effort...... Young has no peripheral vision and just fumbles too much...Swan doesn't look like he wants to be there...... The rest well who cares...

Is daisy playing forward?

He is at times. However it's impossible to tell if he'll do it on a more permanent basis this year because it's safe to say our forward structure is all over the shop at the moment lol.

 

[Swooop]

Yeah Marty's on plus, Sidey, Rounds, Ceglar and Wellingham on

 

[ksardog]

I dontlike dawes in the ruck also cause im worried about his knee, he looks awkward.
Can see us rotating swan daisy and pendles thru the forward line alot this year.
Young double grabs everything and sinclair does nothing but chase tail, bring on ugle.

 

[Swooop]

Maxy, Reid, Jolly and Swan off

 

[ksardog]

How was that marking effort from buckley, **** me he is terrible

 

[daics_35]

Ceglar is looking good since he has come on. I have also been impressed with Williams, he looks like he could be a very good player.

 

[Number 10]

I can't watch the game and have noticed on FanFooty he is getting a fair few hitouts already - is he playing as well in the ruck as his stats suggest?

 

[Swooop]

Yeah, he's looked good so far Number 10

 

[ksardog]

Ceglar is playin against melbournes kid ruckman and winning most hit outs.
Nothing has changed this half we r going to short from the centre onwards. Hate this game plan already, bring back mick

 

[DWil6]

Will be shocked if we win with the way this game has gone. I can handle not winning the NAB cup grand final for the greater good though. Not pretty to watch though.

 

[ash84]

Pretty poor performance by the boys so far.

 

[Wooljay]

Liking Sinclair, hungry as hell and his second efforts are excellent.

Oh, welcome to BigFooty, Mick.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

If Buckley and Keefe get games this year you know we're struggling.

 

[SnakePlisskin]

He's got the tools to be a good footballer ,height size good kick but just continues to disappoint

 

[ksardog]

We look absolutely terrible as we did last week, i hav a bad feeling about this year.i know its very early but our system looks shithouse

 

[Swooop]

Will be shocked if we win with the way this game has gone. I can handle not winning the NAB cup grand final for the greater good though. Not pretty to watch though.

Think you're right, but with all the changes at HT, only six to eight best 22 out there now.

 

[DWil6]

Good goal by Rounds. Bucks putting the cue in the rack with the line up in the second half.

 

[ksardog]

Marley williams has good football smarts

 

[Swooop]

Lovely goal by Rounds pulls it back a bit
