Game Day Round 1 vs. Sydney, MCG, 7:40pm Fri 15/03

[gouki88]

Dean again.

He got held first, but carry on championing the demise of a 2nd gamer

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Ah, the old forward infringes first, defender reacts, free kick forward. Classic.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Frampton in too for backline

 

[Soaring Magpie]

AFL umpires are killing the game

It's such an unbelievably amateur code.

Fin will give great effort but he has no obvious offensive/creative weaponry. He’s a grinder who isn’t going to move the needle in a big way.

We need Ed Allan and Harry DiMattia to come through. They have some X Factor.

Every team needs a grinder. A player or two that want to win the dirty ball.

MaCRae getting the ball out to the likes of Naicos and DeGoey is what we need, we want them on the end of it, not at the coal face

 

[Rusty Beam]

Something is different about our zone… I reckon they have changed it… and it’s not working.

Our players only seem to be looking at each other with absolutely no regard to the opposition.

Both last week and this week we have been kicked through so easily.

Did we change line coaches?

 

[cityslick1]

This is actually sickening how easy they can score, and how hard it is for us to

 

[unplugged]

Love to have been at the ground to see how that unfolded. Did we not see them take possession at our HF line 30 secs earlier? They had about 5v2 in their forward line

 

[manicpie]

JFN over Markov next week. We need some run from defence. WHE isn't working in defence either. How long till Murphy gets back

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Not sure what Schultz brings to the table, slow average footballer.
Why is he a walk up start?

 

[cwoodgal]

Don’t know what’s worse our defence or forward line, we look a basket case in both areas, we will be lucky to win 1 game before the bye at this rate

They are just working harder than us , we are not chasing with any vigour
That Mihocek miss just burst any bubble we had

We are losing contest though who cares about the zone

 

[caloschwaby]

Sydney chant going around the ground. Fk sake Collingwood look what you've done

Either Murphy takes his spot or our defence will be like a big holed colander all year.

Um...

 

[gouki88]

I think eggs in the Murphy basket are risky

 

[gouki88]

Hey Cameron, maybe kick it?

 

[VinnieB]

The amount of easy goals kicked against us is ridiculous.

Is it execution, effort or are the coaches trying something different that just isn’t working or are we still working it out?
