Autopsy What just happened? A draw???

[anshell]

Yep. Second time this year he has cost us a game against a top 4 side.

I was thinking the same thing.It's ironic really because he's Buckley's love child,and he's probably destroyed his career with those two games.

 

[ThexderX]

Feels like a loss.... but it was a great effort. The crows are a win clear on top of of the ladder, our captain and best player is out, and we held on for a draw. Of course it was terrible to let that lead slip but we shouldn't be on their level, so I'm still happy with the effort.

Not being rude, but that is a losers attitude.

Lets all hold hands and put in a good effort. Its not if you win....sorry mate. Crap!

How's Buck's going to explain pissing away a 50 point lead? can't wait

You're right, but at the same time, how's Pyke going to explain giving a team placed 13th a 50 point lead?

I think once our heads cool down a bit we will realise that a draw is an unreal effort against the 1st side. But still, so frustrating.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Midfield only ran one way in the second half. How many times did Adelaide stream through the middle almost untouched?

A couple of short kicks at half back and we were lost.

 

[barrackers]

Why did Dunn or Reid not take the kick out? Or Goldy? They could have hammered it 70 meters high and long.

Free kick for holding the footy

 

[jscan]

Six years and this is Collingwood's best, blowing a 50 point sold lead. The coach is worth every cent!

 

[Rusty Beam]

Blair earnt his spot for next week

Pisstake surely?

It wasn't a kickout. It was Langdon's free for a holding the ball tackle.

Blair overall was good today but killed us in the last minute. Think third time this year in dying moments of last quarter Blair dudded us- GC and another taking legs of player. Today not releasing ball after fend off.

 

[PepperFace]

I've never seen anything more Collingwood than that. Up by 51 points. And still cant win....and costing us draft picks without even being able to enjoy a win. COLLINGWOOD COLLINGWOOD COLLINGWOOD. FML

Coz it wasnt a kick out

Meh both teams scored the same points but at different times. Was some great play and some shocking. Adealaide are premierships favourites.

While a draw is disappointing it was still a positive match.

Pies midfield has only ran one way for about 4 years.

 

[Lockyer24]

Great effort by the boys, but

1. Buckley is a hack of a coach defensively. Every time the Crows got it past centre after half time was a goal. Genuine ineptness
2. Non holding ball call last 2 mins, I will bet 100 percent that campaigner umpire was born in Adelaide

That's one of the talking points I expect the Pro-Buckley lobby to say, but I see blowing a 50 point lead as what it is, piss poor.

Midfield was surging forward only to **** it up with a stupid handball. Adelaide flew back pretty quickly so the mids were chasing arse back the other way.

 

[DT_fanatic]

Eh, everyone's emotional after a game like that. Shame to give up a lead like that, but Adelaide could not miss once they started their come back. How often does that happen. They are the top team for a reason though, and I think we have a lot to take out of this game.

For starters, Blair will never play another game again, surely.

We're looking for a consistent effort and put our best foot forward with 22 contributors.

We can still make the finals and we'll pick 22 blokes to have a crack next week and get back on the horse.

Something like that.

Clearly the TV clock is off... Went to 0 and there was still 5 seconds in it.

But the real crime was how old mate was allowed to mark uncontested on the 50. If that was contested, we win.

The TV coverage always turns the clock off when there is 3-4 seconds left. They do this for every quarter of every game.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Sums this club up really - massive tease but ultimately pretenders

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Game done.
It's done and dusted.

We can mix it with all teams but at the end we are too medium levelled.

Wells? Wow he makes a difference, we lose otherwise.

But we learn, we build, restock with better talent.

Sorry folks this one is a learning game, we will be better for the experience.

We're a better team than last year, we just need a little more talent.

Looking forward to the pre season and continued improvement.

Is that you Blair !!!

Yeah, he still thinks we will play finals, that's the funniest part!

They closed the gap with more than enough time to win by 5 goals. That 25 minute period was atrocious and unforgivable, but given the circumstances you would take that result and on paper we shouldn't have gotten close.

If you listen to every dickhead on this board we should have lost by 10 goals today with how crap we are... yet suddenly a draw means we are a disgrace? A game of footy is 4 quarters, and regardless of what happened in the third, we came out level with the best team in the comp. We're really not that bad.

 

[saha]

That ball needed to go closer to the boundary. Clangdon.

Yes, we would've liked it within centimetres of the boundary, but if he kicked it out on the full we'd all be complaining even more. He kicked a long, high ball 50m and the players up the ground shouldn't have allowed an uncontested mark. Simple.
