Game Day AFL 2019 Round 17: West Coast v Collingwood, 6:10 AWST Optus Stadium

[PerthBoy86]

I am so f**king livid right now. Should've thrashed them. No goals in nearly an hour? Putrid. We've been overrated after the Derby. Maybe brought back down to earth. We just fall asleep too easily. Way too many forward 50s and shots by the Pies. Heck we were pretty lucky, they missed easy chances. Pretty pissed off, blew a chance to secure 2nd.

Well done to Mason Cox. Bagged by the media all week and comes out with a solid 3 goal performance.

Mason Cox is a very special footballer , taking on the hardest game to adapt to, he is a super player, but I said that ,when he started , always knew that Buckley had a plan with him.
Is big Nic carrying too much weight ?

 

[PieLebo87]

Nic Nat is giving Grundy a ruck lesson so far.

You can’t keep the #1 ruckman in the competition down for all 4 quarters. Ended up on 22 possessions, 8 tackles, 6 clearances and 31 hit outs.

 

[SuperSteele22]

The type of win that can do wonders for a team, irrespective of the four points.

 

[Duskfire]

Fantastic game and an example of one that doesn’t need to be high scoring to be quality. The first half was free flowing but that second half both teams put the clamps on and fought it out.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

All of Pav's Christmases just came at once. He looks like he just won the lottery.

 

[Lyttelton Ranger]

Rightfully so. From a neutral POV Collingwood were shafted all night

 

[StillAtLarge]

1 point after halftime and it was rushed lol. Eagles aren't winning it this year

Oh well.

 

[Occidental]

Missing 12 of your best 22 as well?

Not worried about that. As you saw if the team on the park really puts in and really wants it, anything is possible.
Noble, Quanyor, Brown, Crocker all struggled, but they all kept going.

 

[10571z]

Huge win, really though eagles would run over us. Our structure and defence brilliant

 

[Drewie11]

What grown man dresses like iron man and goes to a game of football. What a gronk

 

[Brad Goodman]

To win a game with Hoskin Elliott at CHB for three quarters and Crocker on the field at all just defies logic.

 

[South of the Yarra]

What a robotic horrendous game of football this is. even though the score is only 16 points the difference. If Collingwood get up and win I'll jump, over the moon.
They look lost, desperate, they are not talking to each other , they are being caught with the ball they are passing to each other when the receiver of the ball has an eagle on his hammer, they look half asleep , the last 5 mins of the third quarter they seemed to get a tiny bit of composure back, but they may as well be 10 goals behind , because they are beating themselves and the eagles are precise, but beside that, if your an eagle fan its fine, but gee wiz its a won game, it is just robotic and god almighty when will the boundary line stop being used , it is just boring, now if the eagles get up by a point , it will not be a surprise. They'll win this , and the game is totally frustrating and getting to the point where you know how its going to turn out, before the game is even half way, and Collingwood look like they are asleep. They have a couple of players trying, but they are beating themselves.

Start jumping

One game doesn’t mean anything. Eagles lost to Melb at home last season.

I thought Hoskin Elliot was pretty good? Maybe I’m wrong

 

[eddiesmith]

2.8 in the last 50 minutes...

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

That 'nanna' is at every VFL and AFL game, does a lot for the club.

How the hell does she keep up at that age?!

 

[StillAtLarge]

They weren't full strength though...

 

[big bootaaaaah]

This is what playing a reserves grade team the week before does to your form

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I said it in the Eagles board so I may as well just say it here, too.

I can't feel mad about this loss, we literally did the exact same thing in reverse to them in a Grand Final. I'd never get over it if tonights game was last years Granny, but it isn't, it's a regular season game, there's always next week. If they're good enough they'll bounce back.

Collingwood wanted it more when it mattered and deserved the gutsy win.

Yeah but that game we had half the forward line out

 

[ep2018]

Oh well, thankfully that was a H&A game and not a final. GG Pies.

Beat me to it.

I just got over it!
