Review Round 23, 2023 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

[martinson]

What a load of BS

Na . I thought he was poor. I mean he's at every contest so he's going to get some of the ball but geez ,stop giving it to the opposition.

 

[p4p1]

Looked broken. Was plonked in the forward line. Hopefully no flare up

I’m thinking that Lyons being subbed on at half time and Ah Chee coming off probably contributed to that. Dunks 4th was better than his 3rd.

This will be the team for the remainder of the year. Lyons a good sub.

Lyons was great tonight. Had some big moments. He stays.

 

[Gadzorks]

Gunston new head coach.

I'd really like him as an assistant coach. He's got a huge amount of footy smarts to share.

Just please not on the field. In the ones. Have at it as the caption of the twos and back up if hippy or Joe get injured.

 

[braddsey]

Kicking straight makes such a massive difference, particularly in Q1. 6-2, vs 4-4 last week, 1-4 against Freo, 2-5 vs Geelong.
(Best not even discuss the Suns game).

That was an awesome performance by the boys, and better live. Got challenged in Q3 and wrestled back control.

Loved every minute of it.

How impressive is Lachie Neale acknowledging he’s been a bit down on form and then responding like that.

We’re so lucky to have him at the lions

Don’t want to be accused of tooting my own horn but did think that the pies wouldn’t tag him. Which to me is crazy given the impact it has.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Ticked most boxes. Still need to stick more tackles. Think Chuck enjoys being the linchpin when Gunston’s not there. Dev should’ve tucked his dangling bits in and not given them something easy to tackle - it’s that sort of attention to detail that keeps you in the 18. Nice to see Neale’s form turn the corner.

What a load of BS

Agree. What's with the Oscar hate?

He comfortably won the hit outs, had 16 possies and laid 5 tackles.

Thought he was very good myself.

Wasn’t Mitchell tagging him, except Mitchell is cooked

I thought Oscar had a great game

Listening to Kick Ons yesterday, Cam and Hugh did say how great he is at going through their vision with him etc. Sounds like someone we need to look down as a future assistant.

Funny how everyone has different perspectives .

We never looked at the stats but during the game were kept lamenting what he did on so many occasions.

Just doesn't seem to have any smarts at all sometimes.

But I've always been a fan of his endeavour ,even when it's misplaced.

Oscar was more challenged when Cox came on, but i think he figured it out in the last qtr and got back on top.

COLL 100 from expected 90.3 (+0 rushed)
BL 124 from expected 92.6 (+0 rushed)

Lot to like about Eric tonight - torched Maynard a few times and his goal kicking from the 50 is excellent. AhChee is a total lock. He's got skills to burn and real footy smarts.

 

[RandomPest]

Brereton gave Rayner a big wrap in the post game show.

Cam's quietly becoming a big game player IMO. Has shown up when it matters in quite a few games the past few years. I know he can be a bit of an easy target when he has a quiet game, but it makes me optimistic he'll still turn in to a consistently high quality player. Has all the attributes for it.

Great win. Open forward line was brilliant. Lester was great again. So good with the ball in his hands. 100% Disposal Efficiency. Great mark in the last quarter when Collingwood were pressing.

 

[Tom14]

Did anyone else almost die when Eric was running towards goal and took a bounce lol

I was so mad lol. Charlie was right there for the handball too.

 

[luthor]

Wasn’t Mitchell tagging him, except Mitchell is cooked

Mitchell racked up his usual disposals numbers and as usual , had very little impact.

31 possessions of which 26 were handballs.

Says it all.

 

[Dalions]

Great game, intensity up from first bounce, fantastic to finally win a last quarter in a game that really matters.
Top 2 all rests on next week. Can’t wait, bring it on!

Saw Dunkley on Mitchell for most of it in the first half I reckon? In any event it was not effective.

 

[Elixuh]

I’m almost dead from the last month of football and we have our 7ft tall forward taking bounces 5 out from goal
Pls Eric stop this madness

It’s the one position on the field that we can’t do much about. Hes a work horse but he isn’t a star. He is probably a good enough ruckman for us to win a premiership with. He just makes some howlers and Cox did give him a bath when he came on. O evened up the ledger the longer the game went. We are looking so strong around the ground that our ruck is our biggest worry, followed closely by our mids defensive efforts at times.

Linc pinched a calf according to himself. I doubt he plays next week.

Gunston in
