Toast Round 20 = Collingwood 90-45 West Coast

[TradeDraft]

Best or Equal best win for the Season.

We dominated for 3 Qtrs but fell away in 4th qtr but with the Young Side not a Shock and helps when you are about 12 Goals Up Helps

Our Top 2 Picks from last year Draft where very Good. Henry Marking Strongly and using it well and Macrare kept going and showed some real Class with the Ball

This is about the best Game I seen De Goey Play. 34 Touches and most where Effective Disposals getting the Ball into our Forward 50

Bianco had a Barry Crocker but though had 2 Shots at Goal for 2 Goals

Adams is Huge in and under the Ball but Kicking can be a Worry

Steele play his best game for the Season by a Country Mile

Hoskin-Elliot keeps up his Great 2nd Half of the Season Form

Ruscoe looks at Home in the Backline.

Be Intresting how we back this up vs Hawks next Sunday

Just taking a break from mopping up the vomit at home watching my own side to say well played today. I enjoyed watching you link up by hand and running it through the middle. A very smart way to play against us executed really well. Always respected Harvey the player, earning it in the coaches' box now.

Good luck for the rest of the year.

Moore, Maynard, Howe, Crisp, Roughy, IQ and Ruscoe is a nice solid mix of quality.

Flip Crisp for N.Daicos, ease the kid in off a HBF and push Crisp into the middle.

But yep, Moore and Howe back will be great.

 

[Everybody Panic]

Cracking win. Love the way every single one of our recruits has showcased why they can play AFL football, and you can only just imagine how good we could be with an extra season or two behind them.

Loved Quaynors goal and celebration too!

Gee that was impressive wasn't it. I won't buy into the "West Coast" were sh*t narrative. We kicked the crap out of them. Would've been 80+ if we weren't running around with a bunch of fatiguing kids.

Ruscoe, Fin, Ollie, Bianco (minus the field kicking) all super impressive. Great effort in the first half from the big Grundog and Sidebottom in particular. Adams a proper warrior. Crisp, Maynard, Howe, Roughead solid as a rock.

I mentioned it in the gameday thread, DeGoey is a different footballer to me. Working so hard, getting to every contest, involved in every possession chain. I thought he had it in him, but the difference between his first and second halves of the season is night and day. You couldn't let him leave based on the last 6 weeks.

Eagles where Terrible. Had no Pressure on at all for 1st Half

We made them Pay for that though

Best or Equal best win for the Season.

Beating Richmond and Carlton are 1 and 2.

 

[domus]

Simply superb. All of the young kids showed something and the older brigade were at their very best. Sidey turned back the clock and Madge is even beginning to look very good at times.

 

[PyrrhicVic]

Huge game by Sidey, he can still turn it on when he wants.

Our 2020 draft class are going to be the future: Ollie, Macrae and Ginnivan were great. Add in McCreery, Poulter and Reef and it’s going to be one of the best hauls in our history.

Oh, and we’ve got Nick coming...get onboard Clarko.

I have the Demons as our Best Win so far

 

[domus]

Tired of the Eagles were missing some key players crap. Barass, Shuey (who has been poor since his return) and Ryan (okay) but we were missing Pendles, Daicos, Moore and MCceery and we are supposed to be a very weak team.

 

[pablo disco bar]

What a strange team we are

Wins against Melbourne..Richmond and Eagles.

1 Point losses to Port and Brisbane


Many honourable losses

I know always is said but a fit and healthy team brings optimism..

Gotta get the coach right!!

Is Harvey a chance ?

At least Gary Lyon Mentioned we did not have Pendles and Moore

Doubt it but we look lot better under Harvey then we did under Bucks

 

[johncitizen]

It's obvious the players love Harvey. Win 2 of the next 3 and he deserves to be a contender for coach.
Playing an exciting brand.

Great sportsmanship! Good luck to you guys too.

 

[doppleganger]

We had a handful of kids, but still a very experienced team, our ins this week were

Howe, Mayne, J.Thomas, WHE

Avg games was 100+

Our experienced players did the heavy lifting and let our kids shine.

He did his chances no harm by adopting an attacking game plan and encouraging the kids to 'go for it'.

Just depends on how the board sees his contribution.

I was thinking the same. We’ve played better against some of the better sides than bottom 8 teams

 

[anshell]

Fantastic win.The pressure we put on them,especially in the first three quarters was as good as anything we’ve done since 2018.DeGoey is showing the most consistent form of his career.Needs to be kept at all cost,because I think he will only get better from here.Sidebottom had his best game of the year.The kids looked great,very promising.All in all a very satisfying afternoon of football.

[Carringbush2010]

On night shift and only caught glimpses but That's what the future looks like, I'll reiterate the 'why I'm buoyant about this' thread.

What helped is that wc and pressure = oil and water. For a team that used to waltz the ball through it like a knife through butter boy! Now they can't open the door to get out of the dunnies.

Get the right coaching panel and we're in it in a few years.

Keep De Goey in the Midfield

 

[Scritchyscroony]

What the heck is up with Ruscoe? He covers the ground, loves a tackle, spoils when required and kicks to his team mates.
What’s going on ??

He's absolutely destroyed his whipping boy credentials the last few weeks

I had no time for Harvey, but was really impressed today with the play on style of football the boys played. Harvey has not done his own chances of getting the coaching job any harm today, particularly with the form displayed by Sidebottom, De Goey and Grundy. I reckon loving the coach is important to success, and I agree that the players seem to have lifted under Harvey. A great win.
