AFL 2019 Round 1: Collingwood v Geelong, 7:50pm AEDT MCG

[Art Vandelay_]

Greatest midfield to ever grace the game they said

beaten without Gaz and Selwood in the guts

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Runner up hangover

Here he is, a Collingwood game and the flog Zoom is out in force.

I cant help but feel the pies should have won that. Bad goal kicking cost them.

Nobody looked like winning it until the last 5 minutes. Cox and Stephensen were pretty ineffectual, Elliot had a good first half, no impact second half, De Goey a few flashes and that was about it.

Collingwood had a great year due to the pressure they were able to put on teams last year, it is a lot harder to do at the start of the year, Pies form early last year wasn't flash either.

I never said you would be 0-7, I simply said it was a chance and you've got Howe's shit kicking and De Goey's shit footy IQ to thank.

Haha! It was never a chance like you hoped.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Atkins is a ripper.

Showed some poise and clean hands at a few crucial times there.

 

[captain blood 17]

Better luck next week, eh?

Tiges and cats are 1-0. Pies are.....?

Losing to a side that's playing four guys in their first game is a really bad result.
Bit of soul-searching required by Collingwood.

It’s pretty concerning, can’t see that Cats squad winning more than 10 so I dread to think how bad we are gonna be.

 

[jarrod_island_doggies]

Bold of ol' Rompingwins to bring up anything to do with Wiki...

 

[Hamingja]

6,6,6 suits the Cats to a tee,that’s why I tipped them.

Not really we don't have a ruckman

 

[zucchini]

Absolute decline for Gary Ablett Jr is absolute peak for 90 per cent of players in the sport’s history

Agree, Burgoyne is in the same boat...

 

[Gavin Excell]

Don't let a decent last quarter distract you from the fact that that game was an abomination.

Reminded me r1 2011 v st kilda

Shocking match but got away.with.4 points

Will take

Geelong again win by free kicks and pure luck, don't any Geelong person tell me these guys don't get the rub it only takes one to three frees that are very dodgy and they seem to get them, no other club in the AFL gets the crap these guys get maybe WCE , given by umpires, there is at least one goal that geelong scored from a simply invented free kick from the ump.
Maybe its their jumpers that reflect badly at night or the umps can't see , I don't know , but Collwd should have kicked better, and the game was even but Geelong as per usual seem to get those advantages every time, and slime their way to a win. Any way the games as confusing as last year, zone stuff is OK everything is still the same bullshit with rules. How many times do teams have to win from free kicks, is that footy? I have no idea any more.

If geelong kicked every goal to win a game from frees, and each free was there, that would be great, but its never like that , there is always frees to those two Danger and Selwood and for some reason it always changes the result, even big Tom doesn't get looked after like those two but he benefits from it.
I actually think that Geelong became the better side and deserved to win, but shit , they always get helped and its always the usual suspects who get benefit of the doubt with very doubtful free kick decisions like the umps have a habit of just giving it to Selwood or Danger mouse, when something is a toss up.
Its true.
But quite weird. And it only takes that one or two mess ups, but they were both fumbling like amateurs tonight.
With the rules same old same old the AFL has done nothing. And still has unneeded rules to pull the game up and make it unfair, by the way Dangermouse did get a free against him that was absolute bullshit, so now the AFL is going to start taking en deavour out of it too.

 

[captain blood 17]

I told you we were a chance to lose - Geelong are a bit of a bogey side for us. Not a good record first game of the season either.
Oh well 2/2 in my footy tips - yes I tipped against my own side as my smokey for the round.
Unfortunately I was right.

Cats just rooted $4k of multis for me. Next time warn me for gods sake.

Stanley was pretty.good

Unfortunately his career to date suggests he cannot string it together

Collingwood in serious danger of starting the year 0-3, Richmond and west coast next up, oh oh spaghettiooo

 

[captain blood 17]

Speaking of which - it’s awful about his acl, hate seeing that stuff - who comes in for him?

Garthwaite or Balta drops back and we being in another flanker type. Costagna did well in the vfl returning from injury apparently.

Us fans don't deserve any shit; but the players deserve every bit of shit they cop. As soft as it gets - there was no heart out there. I coach in a different sport, if my guys came out like that... I'd be livid.

Geelong supporters are a little sensitive after we returned fire in 2017. They seem a little thin skinned.
