AFL 2019 Round 1: Collingwood v Geelong, 7:50pm AEDT MCG

Treloar is shocking. They call him elite?

Who's "they"?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Insipid tackle Kolo.

Pies fans would have to be the most feral when a free gets paid against them

Absolutely.....no matter how blatant they reckon every free should go their way. But that Selwood one was soft.

You ever been to an eagles home game?

The sound of knitting needles thrown to the floor in disgust is a sound to behold.

 

[Chaisa]

Great play that.

 

[Engimal v3]

Lmao De Goey flogs em

 

[HBF]

Its defensive footy.


Pies fans going feral at the moment

Good contest though.

 

[Acinath]

Atkins doing his job brilliantly

 

[ToreadorMarch]

This is why Geelong aren't a threat in finals, the umps tend to put the whistle away.

What? You watching this game or just a couple of minutes?

 

[SterlingArcher]

Darcy Moore looking like the lovechild of Peter Moore and Joffa Corfe.

Couldn't find your post re: Roughead but certainly thinking Moore + Roughead are going to make it difficult for Reid and Dunn to come back in when fit (presuming that Dunn might be a little bit slower with another year older and an ACL added). Both Moore and Roughead look settled, although helps with Langdon and Howe helping.

 

[Power Raid]

Lazy defence there

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Who's "they"?

Who do you think?

 

[RAPPA]

Atkins can really play. Good recruit

 

[Damon_3388]

I reckon we had him in defence for a period at the Dogs, i'm pretty sure under Brendon McCartney.

You did, and he did pretty well considering the heavy fire he was under, too.

Surprised he wasn't tried there more in recent years, given the Dogs' patchwork key defensive stocks, and his mediocre ruckwork.

 

[Power Raid]

Unlucky hawkins

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Jordan Roughead looking solid, finally back playing his proper position in defense for Collingwood, after being forced to masquerade as a ruckman for years at the Bulldogs.

He’s a better ruckman. 2016 was by far his best season. Serviceable as a defender and can play decent roles on the huge forwards like Hawkins but I wouldn’t want him there all season.

 

[OK Computer]

Aside from Rohan butchering a goal and then missing a shot in the second, I don’t really know why everyone has been so down on him. He’s been fine.

he's had 6 disposals and is a terrible decision-maker. Top 5 worst player in the league.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Brayshaw may need to learn the difference bewteen Kelly and Rataglea

 

[Damon_3388]

Who do you think?

Enlighten us, oh wise one.

 

[OhDustinMartin]

How hot is it at the ground?

 

[captain blood 17]

Looks like Grundy is the new “Rance”. Doesn’t mind staging for the frees.

Grundy's midfield/ground ball ability is obviously far superior, but I can't believe some Pies fans try to tell you that the gap between Gawn and Grundy's contested marking isn't that big...Grundy has barely been an aerial threat at all tonight, Gawn is probably equal with McGovern in the comp.

 

[ShadeyP]

Harry Taylor's left leg might well fall off at some stage this season .

 

[HBF]

How Geelong are in front I don’t know

Collingwood bad kicking.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Another arsey goal for De Goey.
