Toast Round 13 = Melbourne 71-72 Collingwood

[Lockyer24]

All week I was thinking we only really had that strange game against GWS, and the bad 15 mins when the whips were cracking against Geelong. We were due a flatty.

To get a 6/10 performance and win is a bonus. Dees brought their A game today defensively and tactically. We won from a slight lack of weapons from them and our usual experience in close games.

Hope the bye helps. Because we had a lot taken from our game today that other teams will now copy.

Clearly following the custom of giving it to the best player in the winning team …

… Great win. Josh played well. But Gawn clearly stiff, and he’ll get the 10 coaches votes.

Somebody should check Ralphy's betting accounts, he's completely unhinged over a free kick which was clearly there

Which free?

We didn't play our best today. Credit to Melbourne who played a magnificient game. Sometimes you just need to win ugly and boy was it ugly.
I don't understand why WHE didn't take the shot for goals with 10 seconds remaining. He kicks it and there is only 4 seconds remaing. Strange decision to go backwards. Again I will take the ugly win.

Ralphy having a melt on Twitter makes the win that little bit sweeter.

Pendles and he spoke well. Fine representatives.

We played so slow, got smashed around the contest and our key forwards were demolished. Won purely on superior talent. Take the 4 points and never speak of the game again

Congratulations for those attending today's game.
You didn't have to listen the whining sniveling cry baby Luke Hodge!!
He never stops.

Langdon hands in the back on Naicos then not making a marking contest, aka, tunnelling...

Miss the goal and give the ball back to Melbourne I guess. They’re well drilled these boys and it worked.

We played right into their hands the majority of the night, I'm amazed we were able to hang on to the win.

Blazing away and kicking on top of our forwards' heads, against an aerially strong team, again and again is just silly.

Did the Cox ( in form) debate end tonight or has it resurfaced?
I think the later - against Melb at least.

I think the later.

What’s the argument for Cox helping? He has been one of the worst offenders re: being outmarked by defenders

He is such a w***er, whenever there is an insufficient attempt call he always takes the anti collingwood perspective even if it makes him look like a hypocrite to what he said 5 minutes earlier

 

[black is White]

I was watching on Foxtel but was that the most biased commentary against us all season?? My god they were bad.

 

[Run n Spread]

Good win for a game not on our terms. Bit of luck with umpiring and the bounce if the ball
They blew 2 golden chances in the last 90 seconds to at least tie.
They've all learnt a rest

I thought Dunstall was worse.

FFS, calling “Collingwood are a great team today because they always convert their opportunities” …

… before the player has even taken his set shot.

 

[Mr Cannons]

Thank you Max Gawn.

Thank him twice for the equally shocking kick into the middle of the ground in the third, no idea what he was thinking literally not a Melbourne player in sight

Shocking game and a real ordinary performance, so lucky to get the points.

Game aside I’m not sure how I’ll watch from now on, sorry but something needs to be done about Taylor and Hodge, Taylor is the most innacurate caller there is and just a general buffoon.
Hodge was basically cheering for Melbourne all day, saying rules should be changed, questioning every clear free kick we got, and boy did his voice go high and the excitement in his tone once Melbourne hit the front.
Just a miserable has been.

My father utilised the mute button. He knew enough about football not to need the commentary.

We do look like a Team that they Needed the Bye Badly

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

Weitering, Wilkie, Andrews, Collins and Frampton... who you leaving out?

Wilkie isn't top 5 May ahead of him the other yes

 

[76woodenspooners]

Imagine if your club’s leaders are Gawn, Petracca and Oliver

Gawn goes alright? I’d happily have him on our list.

Petracca is a decent player. But not a leader. And no way justifies what he’d be getting paid.

‘Oliver” and “leader” don’t belong in the same sentence.

I keep hearing about this "Main Board" but can never find it. I know, I know....early onset. Can somebody direct me please?

Dunstall and the others were disgustingly biased i was tempted to mute
