Autopsy Clutch Win at the MCG, Freo Down the Pies

[kp junior]

Collingwood’s highest pressure game of the year and most tackles F50 for the year, and we won.

 

[Dockeroo]

Woke up very early to watch this one from overseas and it was well worth it!
Great fight shown to dig out the result away from home against the odds. The last few minutes will be very valuable for the players going forward you can’t replicate that type of pressure in training. The value of kicking straight was on full display for all to see there - probably not realistic to sustain that level of accuracy in every game but we barely missed a set shot all game. Straight kicking leaves you in every single game, on the other hand they let us off the hook a few times, in particular Elliott with that 4th quarter miss that for all money I was certain he’d kick.
The effect from all players was fantastic and JL and his coaching team deserve plenty of plaudits this week. Voss is a genuine gun now and needs to be re contracted soon as other clubs will come hard for him. We certainly won’t get away with paying him $110k plus matchies in 2026 anyway

Our set shot kicking has been unreal the last few weeks. Jye and Pat have improved heaps. Sean and Luke are dead certs. When Caleb kicked his early on I thought we were right in it.

For some reason i find we kick better/conversion is better on the road then at Optus.

Why does Luke Ryan keep kissing people?

Needs to go the full Merv Hughes and put the tongue in the ear as well.

 

[Perfect Purple]

Why does Luke Ryan keep kissing people?

He’s a friendly guy!

Nah seriously, he just loves his teammates and loves winning games.

 

[Ghost Pig]

JL in the press afterwards said they would have brought youngy on earlier but couldn't decide who to sub! I find that pretty wild!

He also begrudgingly conceded that having pressure for spots was good for the team because he knows he's going to have some tough conversations over the next couple months and some guys that deserve to play will miss, he cares alot about this group and you can see now that it's reciprocated by the players.

 

[Ghost Pig]

Kingy currently pumping our tyres up on First Crack. Gritted teeth I reckon. Cop that

Knocked Collingwood back to 3rd best in his top 5 rankings, showed what he really thinks of us.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Let's play a game of guess who?

 

[jusjoshin]

Such a ****ing sore loser

He is confirming what I've thought for a while. We have two distinct game modes, and switch into attack mode when we need to. I think it is an energy conservation thing as we travel every other week, and it increases recovery times. We played 3 dour quarters and 1 aggro quarter against both the Hawks and the Pies. In other games we have switched it up for 10 minute stretches to break teams before switching it back. McRae thinks we should play this way all the time, and if we only left our home state 3 times a year, we probably could, but that isn't a luxury afforded to us.

 

[Farrand]

He's definitely got a lot of Merv about him. Gotta love it

 

[Ghost Pig]

I didn't sense gritted teeth from him, thought he was quite graceful in his analysis which surprised me.

It was pretty harmless. As much as I despise Collingwood, I really like Fly.

I'm sorry toto95 but please grab the nearest bar of Imperial Leather and give that mouth of yours a good scrub.

 

[StingBitten]

So, Pat Voss kicked half our goals and Serong got a lazy 37 disposals. Cool!

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Basically Switta on roids

Yeah spot on. He's super dangerous. Has the perfect amount of mongrel, and he's seriously talented too.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

A lot of goals from talls

Voss 6
Amiss 2
Jackson 1
Darcy 1

(Tracey 0 - good sign)

Need more from our small

 

[Ghost Pig]

just give us the kudos we deserve without the backhanded shit,

we should play however gets us the win

He landed in the cushiest job in footy, with a team full of hardened vets and plays 2 of his last 14 games this season outside of Melbourne. He can get fuqqed, telling us how to play.

Perhaps the way we are playing is working just fine on current form.

 

[Footskill]

Our luck changed. When JOM kicked his goal and it bounced through, knowing our luck because Maynard was adamant that he touched it, thought they would go to review and it would get overturned to a point

 

[toto95]

I'm sorry toto95 but please grab the nearest bar of Imperial Leather and give that mouth of yours a good scrub.

I know, I know. I wish I hated him. But I do think he is a very respectful and caring coach. That's the only good thing I'll say about that club.

 

[Superkoops]

Definitely beaten around the ground. Cameron was taking marks as he pleased it seemed.
Hodor kicked the goal however and that probably trumps everything else in a one point win

7-8 score involvements I just heard Kane Cornes mention. So he did his bit.

 

[Dump Truck]

In a crazy, hell-freezing-over moment, Kane Cornes has just praised Darcy and Jackson for the game!

 

[Purple Jesus]

I'm watching it now. No one spoil the result...

Get up at 6 to watch it live ya wuss!

 

[Farrand]

Get up at 6 to watch it live ya wuss!

I was going to but I watched the boxing last night so I only have myself to blame...

 

[wakojako]

How good is it to have a key forward with personality, flair and mongrel that kicks goals. Also the fact that Voss is super quick and can tag a KPD out of a game just makes our forwardline so much more dynamic. The people saying that Sturt needs to take his place when he's fit need to be locked in a room with Voss for a few mins after a couple of red bulls.

 

[Purple Jesus]

So did I

 

[Farrand]

So did I

I'm out of excuses. Didn't even go to the pub yesterday
