Game Day Pies v Hawthorn, 5 August, 4.35pm, MCG

[TW Sherrin]

For anyone wondering why we operated at 50-50 all season with rucks, today's the reason. Cameron isn't up to it alone and Johnson is not a ruckman. Nor is McStay.

Daicos. Return him to the HB line. I don't care if he gets 30 easy possessions, he needs to touch the ball to have an impact.

Emancipate Moore from his locked down role, too.

Mitchell and Adams both have failing bodies - so let's think about how we can set Macrae up for success when he returns from a broken thumb. Because sooner or later, he deserves a shot whilst they rest.

This is going to define our season and it's not a melt to say so. We can either kick back and accept a sixth placed finish or knuckle down and deliver a premiership.

After today no team will let Naicos run around by himself. Even at half back he'll get tagged now.

We need Bucks to come in as caretaker coach until finals to harden some of these boys up a bit.

I’d prefer Malthouse tbh

Can only go off what we've seen in recent weeks, anything else is idle speculation.

The flag race is still well and truly wide open and any of 5 or 6 teams could end up with it if they can strike a bit of form at the right time, and that includes us, whether that works for you personally or not.

Ladder position yes, form and how other teams know how to beat us, absolutely not.

We'll likely go out in straight sets unless we find another way to play coz everyone else has worked us out, good luck doing that we 3 games left in h&a to make it work.

In short our run at all costs game has been found out and we can't rely on it.

 

[Carringbush2010]

The lions lost to the hawks, and Gold Coast last week. Guess their seasons done to

And we're unlikely to win another game.

Geez. 2 weeks ago against Port we were on top of the world. Now this.
Did we make a decision to put the cue in the rack after the Port game and go easy, does that actually happen?
Looks like another week of avoiding media.

Always a breath of fresh air your positivity on here

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Can we possibly get Frampton into the side next week, to free up Moore FFS!!

That was the very reason we recruited him for. Why the f**k isn't he playing?

 

[Carringbush2010]

Always a breath of fresh air your positivity on here

Positivity, pretty hard to be positive when our game has been worked out by the competition and we've got 3 weeks to find another avenue, how positive are you about that?

Match day thread is the airing of grievances, people that have a beef with certain players or coach, or smarting that their favourite player hasn’t been picked.

 

[No SPIN]

And we're unlikely to win another game.

Maybe time for you to ask your boss for leave in September.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Geez, I would so love to be wrong, but the competition has worked out how to stop our run game, even when we got it going today we fumbled it and got exposed the other way, and that's been going on for weeks now.

Certainly got absolutely pumped at cb, just to compound things, that's bad against other contenders but against the 16th place team.

I now have zero confidence.

Please Fly and Co. please please please prove me wrong, and have a biblical seismic shift in game and make it work.

You are never positive. It’s tiresome tbh.

Already booked, coming to Melbourne for GF week, maybe wasted that annual leave.

Then you don't read all of my posts.

You’re the only person I know, who books tickets to watch their second favourite team play in the GF.

 

[Piewithsauce13]

A loss to the hawks and Henry has kicked 4 already. Someone is sticking it to us today!

How long have you been following Collingwood with a comment like that. I will guarantee you there will still be ups this season but unfortunately downs as well.

 

[Magnanimous]

Could be at least 4 changes

And there lies the problem.
Whoever the winner this year will be about to hit their straps and we are in our worst hole for the year.

Four changes will not help that, given nobody is busting the door down.
We have not guns to come back into the lineup either.

I think GWS have a better chance than us right here and now.

Melbourne and Bulldogs starting to lift too.

We need to at least win one of the next three to ensure we get to play at least 2 finals.

We've got Frampton sitting in the VFL ...

Even Krueger would made more impact than half the forward line we had in today.

I don't have a 2nd team.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Could’ve been worse, as in Essendon beating us today, after losing to Carlscum the previous week. If that happened l would’ve felt sick to my stomach. Losing to Hawthorn meh, not good, but you can tolerate their supporters.....

I can understand being annoyed but check the ladder before writing nonsense

That post you replied to isn't an emotional one, it's how we've been found out over the past weeks and is now coming home to roost.

We've been down for weeks yet managing wins, now and last week it's clear it's unlikely we'll win another game seeing how the opposition are now able to stop us.

I don't have a 2nd team.

Then your negativity is just a ruse!
You had us all fooled

It's not negativity, it's blunt reality, the comp knows how to and are now able to beat us.

Tell me otherwise.
