Preview Changes v. Collingwood - Round 13, 2021

[jhong]

What a conundrum , cement hands or concrete legs . Brown needs to force his way in based on form , not reputation . Might be a different story if we were not 11-1 right now . But we are . Having players at his feet got us 2 goals from Weid spills , but i also think he needs to take his chances with slotting goals or risk losing his spot to B.Brown .

It’s the problem when you have no good players and you only win games because the other sides have injuries and you’re peaking early ):

Hard to force in without a VFL

Hopefully for not much longer .

I noticed both Weid and Fritsch in the FF role stayed really deep as the last line. I’m not sure if it is instructed to keep kind of a reverse triangle shape and create space in front or just by chance and bad running patterns. But I didn’t notice that many leads from FF and we don’t bomb in to the top of the square 9 times out of 10 anymore. Still, if he takes his marks he has 5 shots on goal so it was a nearly game.

 

[LeverPuller]

Oh god now Collingwood will be fired up for Bucks

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

The Age is reporting Bucks is resigning mid season

 

[Bluelegs]

Reckon Buckley would be a good asset at any club (provided he isn't involved in the post-season player reviews).

 

[Jamurp]

Pies to win it for Bucks now surely.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

s**t team is going to win now because they'll be trying extra hard?

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

sh*t team is going to win now because they'll be trying extra hard?

I love how everyone here always loses their minds when someone related to the opposition dies or quits or it’s raining etc because we apparently don’t play well when that happens. Probably my favourite MFC board meme

I sure hope so

Additionally, this was already Collingwood's Grand Final so I don't see how it makes a difference.

It’s a super grand final for them now. Unfortunately, for us, it’s only Round 13 ):

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Even if we win our win percentage only increases by 0.06% percent. Sad!

 

[Bluelegs]

sh*t team is going to win now because they'll be trying extra hard?

Not sure why no team has tried sacking their coach the week before the grand final.

Sacking your coach definitely makes it more likely that you’ll play better rather than worse. I’m shocked anyone would think otherwise. We should sack our coach before every game.

Grand Final Parade: Goodwin Sacked

 

[stEdy]

The players hate Bucks - why would they try and win for him now?

I'd much rather be playing them now then when they get the inevitable new-coach-bounce

I'd also go after Steele Sidebottom end of year if he wants to play a few more finals before he retires. He's got a few good years in him at a new club. Stick him on a HFF

 

[Jamurp]

We showed how much we loved Roosy by getting spanked by 100 points by Geelong in his last match.

What a s**t show those last few weeks were.

"They'll probably be fired up because player x signed a new long term contract" is my fave.

This is genius. 5D Chess.

I remember attending Bruce Doull's 300th game for the Carlton Cheats - we still won. The hype dies away very quickly on-field.
