Round 16, 2014 - Gold Coast vs Collingwood @ Metricon

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Young has absolutely no backbone.

Hawks supporters jumping on him pretty quick. Were you all saying that in the first half of the '08 GF?

It's a myth he played well in that game, had lots of possessions but was a turnover merchant, kicked one great goal, that was about it.

 

[Gone Critical]

Terrible effort by the Pies but GC also were great. Out prime midfielders let us down the most. Pendles didn't really fire a shot. He should have when the game was on the line. Beams and Swanny missed shots they needed to make. Top players have responsibility.

regardless of whether he had played well in the first half of that game (or any game for that matter), it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact he is terrible under pressure.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Swallow stiff.

That's what I keep telling her.

 

[gutsroy]

I also think that Collingwood's weakness is there key backs Frost and Keefe.
There halfback's are good and they have good team defence

When Collingwood play a side with a strong midfield and the opposition get the footy in the forward half, they key backs get beaten.

Collingwood need Reid back desperately.

Cant see Collingwood winning a final with those two in the key posts

Yeah, I think that's a valid point, and when the opposition forwards get on top of Keefe in particular, they tend to go on with it and really get hold of him.

 

[momentbymoment]

Any truth to the rumour that Eddie is calling for all expansion clubs to play without a bench?

 

[momentbymoment]

Haha it's started.
Eddie loses to the Suns and now he wants to take over the AFL.

So predictable ...

[Watson_my_mind]

This Suns midfield is going to be a machine.

O'Meara = Ablett
Swallow = Andrew Swallow
Prestia = Judd
Bennell = Akermanis
Martin = Rioli

GG she all over

 

[Collingwoodity]

Commentators going OTT about what the win will do for footy in Qld.

Yep. 3 flags in a row for Brisbane couldn't help QLD.

 

[Collingwoodity]

reckon you can guarantee Pies wont be playing the Gold Coast at the Gold Coast next year

Would be good to finally play them in Melbourne.
