Game Day Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 19 vs. Fremantle. Sun 20/07 @ 3:15pm (MCG)

[Seedsman_]

Imagine a world where it can be both.

I don’t think blaming things out of our control achieves anything.

 

[Mick F]

By the time finals roll around we’ll be glad we rested players.

The Coach selects the 23 he believes will best represent the CFC that week.

 

[Bianconeri]

Mate our lead to second is now down to 2 points. It would be still 10 if we stopped resting players.

Doesn’t matter what our lead is by the time finals come.

 

[Axl the great]

Absolute Spud Moore, goes forward late and still can’t play in front.

 

[upnsmoke]

Dean worsens the defensive lineup big time...

Pies have a losing record when Dean plays... look it up.

He is a huge liability.

 

[Silky23]

Doesn’t matter what our lead is by the time finals come.

If we have this level of a dominant season and don't sew up top 2 to give us two cracks at home to make a prelim in front of massive Collingwood crowds, that is a failure.

Fly did say their goal was to get to 14 wins, since then we haven't added any points lol

We travel to Brisbane or Adelaide it will matter. Rather play them at the G.

Spot on. He’s dead weight.

We’re still on top

It doesn’t matter if we’re on top by two points or ten. We’ll still be playing at home.

Absolute Spud Moore, goes forward late and still can’t play in front.

Look up the Pies defensive effectiveness when Dean plays. He drags everyone around him down because they are playing 5 against 6 when Dean plays.... horrible synergy with Dean. Worst player I've seen get games since Madigan.

How the **** is it Dean’s fault Moore got burned on the lead every time Voss went for it? Just such stupid analysis

Pies needed these gimme games because Pies have a few hard games coming up.

We've just dropped games to GC and Freo.

We have Brisbane at home in 2 weeks, Adelaide away and the Hawks.

Given our current form we could easily go 1-2 or 0-3 in those games. Crows at home are a 30+ point better side.

 

[76woodenspooners]

We are a bullshit side. We just don’t know how to kill a team. This was as bad as anything in the last 10 years.

I hope it hurts!

Absolutely! No wonder we’re sitting on the bottom of the ladder … oh wait

Freo was never going to be a gimme game.

Mate, look up the stats.

Watch the games.

Dean is always disadvantaged so the other defenders around him are off position or cannot implement the plan accordingly.

Compare the games Dean doesn't play. Stats and by eye test and you see the defense stand up and are more reactive to the entries.


With Dean, Pies defenders are a second behind because they worry about Dean's matchup.


Pies have a losing record when Dean plays.

At the end of the day he let his direct opponent kick 6 goals, making Patrick ****ing Voss look like peak Dunstall.

Those were the hard games

Telling me to look up stats whilst lazily assuming correlation = causation is funny. Dean only plays when we are slaughtered by injury, especially last season when we were a bog average side.

Moore and Maynard were not ever out of position due to his presence tonight, they were out of position because they played badly. I’m surprised you’d suggest our leaders have such a crippling lack of faith in a player.

Voss literally did not kick a goal on Dean

We had no choice but to play him upnsmoke - our two first choice defenders got hurt. And Dean wasn't the reason we lost at all today anyway

 

[Sea fog]

Wonder if Moore will be cited for dropping his knees into the back of an opponent.

I was talking about Moore.

Dean was good today, point the finger at the captain mate.
