Round 5 2014- Collingwood V North Melbourne Etihad stadium

[Atley]

This time last year Petrie was marking and kicking goals from everywhere - probably about half the reason they were as competitive as what they were.

Maybe he is carrying something as his form is dropping.

Not playing against bottom 8 sides.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Whenever Sidebottom has a big day you know its a bruise free affair.. Just a crap game.

Sidebottom is a good player.

 

[GROTTO]

And now watch flogs troll an injured player

He was lucky to have not broken his leg.

 

[eaglespremiers]

How are those two plodders going to help them?

Males them competitive in the stoppages. All left to Cunnington ATM.

 

[Atley]

Typical junk time Brent Harvey display.

 

[Dangas]

And now watch flogs troll an injured player

Gary Rohan was in the stands.

 

[eaglespremiers]

He was lucky to have not broken his leg.

Should he have called Cunnington out of the contest then?

 

[TheKanga]

That was utterly dissapointing, that was a Round 1 like performance.
Expecting much better today, Ben Jacobs and Dan Currie should be dropped.

If we play like that next week against Freo we are in for a world of pain....

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

Gary Rohan was in the stands.

Relevance?

Yep, spot on.

.. or his other specialiaty - wet weather football. He can sit off the pack and wait for everyone to try and get the ball and it'll eventually slip out to him.

 

[QPower]

North had 83 tackles against Port and 87 against Sydney. 49 tackles today says it all - North were miles off it today. Far too big a difference between their best and worst.

 

[Cleavy]

add both teams to the "pretenders" pile

They are SOFT AS BUTTER

tackle them hard and they fold like a deck of cards.

Well maybe if the dud Brad Scott had a brain someone would of manned him up.

 

[Dangas]

Relevance?

No relevance, just Karma can bite back too!

 

[TheKanga]

So what excuse will brad have today

Did he have an excuse R1 ? No move on

 

[Atley]

Did he have an excuse R1 ? No move on

I am sure he did. He needs to face facts that is a terrible coach. Worst in the league by a long way.

 

[TheKanga]

Jacobs is the worst player in the AFL.

Those kicks to no one in our fwd 50 were pathetic.

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

No relevance, just Karma can bite back too!

Yeah those 50-50 accidental contact injuries should really bring back karma. Dick.

 

[TheKanga]

I am sure he did. He needs to face facts that is a terrible coach. Worst in the league by a long way.

You could argue he coached poorly today however it was the poor fwd structure and foot skills that did us in,
i thought he coached very well last week against Sydney.

 

[biggiemediums]

Less Roos hate more Pies love please. Really apart from the Freo game, we've played well.

Beat Sydney, Richmond and North all 3 of which were definite top 8 guesses, a lot would have had a couple of them in top 4. Went neck and neck with Geelong who, let's be honest, will be right up there again this year! Bombers next week, then a couple easier games. Should be sitting nicely at 5th/6th by mid year.

 

[Collingw2010d]

add both teams to the "pretenders" pile

Yeah no Collingwood played well today.

 

[Dangas]

Yeah those 50-50 accidental contact injuries should really bring back karma. Dick.

ok.

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

ok.

If you think Thomas deliberately injured Rohan/went dirty at the football at the contest, then I have no words.

 

[nicko74]

Beaten fair and square. No excuses. Well done Pies
