Game Day AFL Round 3 - Matchday Discussion West Coast@Collingwood(MCG – 7:25PM)

[lenny&carl]

Very flattering scoreboard.

 

[Tazzaye]

Sad. We didn't choke last year, West Coast nearly did. We are so far off them in 1 on 1s.

Yep my exact thoughts last yr

 

[TradeDraft]

Guess I get a Days Holiday

 

[magpie_marty]

Well i am not sure what to say regarding that game.
Can i blame the umpire perhaps yes,But no i will not.
But some of our prime movers seemed down,Our out played thinking of Pendles and sidebottom.

Kudos to the eagles they took us apart once again.

 

[sr36]

I reckon if someone rough ups ryan he will run off crying

He's a freak talent though.

 

[GreekLunatic]

He's a freak talent though.

Yep but he bashed a kid so goes Down in my estimations

 

[anshell]

He's 28...

Exactly.People say the most ridiculous things here when we lose.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Time for a spell: josh Thomas
James Aish

Aish was fine today.

Maynard horrible though, particularly if he was pretending to man Cripps

 

[sirlothie]

Guess I get a Days Holiday

For what?

 

[loki04]

Rather us lose to em now instead of in the finals, next time we play em they’ll be the heavy favourite, just think the players dont have their heads in the game atm

Mate unless we do a shake up of personnel and tactics we will lose to them in all games this year much like last year.

The umpiring again was poo but even given that they had our measure.

Unfortunately they have it over us, just like Geelong in 2011.

We will need to play out of our skins to upset them.

I'm talking about Ryan not Gaff, or am I missing some gossip.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Why the **** cant we beat these campaigners? ******* disgraceful.

Because we aren’t good enough

I just think we need to change our stoppage set up (personnel and method) and stop overcommitting players numbers to aerial and ground contests.

Aish was not fine. **** me.

 

[Gaben]

Seriously, get a grip on yourself.

I'm grabbing both arms.

Can someone get a grip of Aish and show him towards the door?

 

[domin8tors]

we didn't take advantage of momentum when we had it. and look at the first half alone and Stephenson actually cost us literally 4 goals. 2 easy Joe the gooses of the top which he stuffed up. then 2 coming out of defence he kicked on the full which resulted in WC goals. so there is 24 points. in a game that we lose by 22.

[Tarkyn_24]

Aish was not fine. **** me.

I won’t be rushing to rewatch the game, but unless I have my matchups mistaken and he was manning Cripps I thought he was solid enough.

I’m usually a big critic but aside from that smothered kick through the midfield didn’t think he made too many errors.

Can’t say the same for Maynard and Howe.

Still not sure what you're talking about?

 

[Rorzza]

Backline - Will always struggle at an elite level if midfield struggles. I thought Roughead, Aish, Langdon, Moore, Crisp where our best defenders.

Midfield - Hard to pick a winner. Mayne went missing in the 2nd and 3rd when it counted. Phillips none ability to take a clean possession hurt. Pendles struggled, Grundy no presence. What was Greenwood's purpose in the team tonight, did he play?

Forward - Cox is struggling, contested forward marks are invaluable. Might not make the team next week. No forward pressure (Varcoe)! Elliot well covered and Stephenson bellow par. Missing Wilbur, I liked Mihocheks` game tonight!

 

[GreekLunatic]

Still not sure what you're talking about?

Liam Ryan was involved in some domestic violence case

 

[Markfs]

Exactly.People say the most ridiculous things here when we lose.

only when we lose?

 

[gappa]

We’ll win. Not for revenge. Not to show belief. Not for poor little sick Timmy in his hospital bed. But because we are the better team.

Should have done it for Timmy.

 

[loki04]

I just think we need to change our stoppage set up (personnel and method) and stop overcommitting players numbers to aerial and ground contests.

Yep add to that:

WC are very good at zoning and strangling our ball movement from HB slowing us to a crawl and setting up their defence.

We can't play the hold and chip game like we do vs Tigers it plays into WC hands.

Sorry bit late closing this down. Take the discussion to the post match TRS has started
