Game Day Preview - Round 8 - Collingwood v Sydney MCG Sunday 7 May 3.20pm

[legendstatus]

I don’t know what to make of our game plan - what I do know is why we leave it to close games in the end and toss of the coin result

Our zoning is pathetic. We are allowing too many easy marks and chip kicks

And lastly our forwards are hopeless defensively

 

[Kappa]

Seriously, Hill 3 touches and McCreery 0 touches. That is just pathetic.
How many more weeks do we carry Bobby for???? sitting around the fringes looking for easy footy.

All our small forwards have been shocking, Elliot is playing another stinker too.

 

[YouBeauty]

Sydney weren't even playing that well it's almost like we have played them into the game

 

[Aussie pie]

Are we the worst number 1 seed in history? Very ordinary

 

[#23 Hill]

Seriously, Hill 3 touches and McCreery 0 touches. That is just pathetic.

Yes. He's probably gonna be the one subbed for Ginnivan if he doesn't pull his finger out.

Elliot is the first on the chopping block at least the other two put pressure on

Here is a hint at what the issue is here. Marks below

It's pretty bloody obvious. They are holding onto it and short kicking nearly everything.

 

[magpies42]

Want someone to flatten Papley the flog.

We need to use the ball better. Wasteful.

 

[anshell]

We always have at least one shitty quarter where we do practically nothing,so hopefully that was our quarter this week,and we don’t play like that again.

Will get the knod to give Ginni a run soon I feel

 

[MagpieJoel]

Just trying to work out the kick along the ground from Elliot to Cox. Wtf?

 

[magpies42]

He leads tackles. Met Parker front on in the first quarter, he is a pressure machine. Give it a rest

 

[cwoodgal]

Now you know why I keep saying for Elliott to be dropped, completely out of form and becoming a liability. Hill on his way to being dropped too…has provided nothing

This is solely effort to make a contest

 

[mumblingpie]

Absolutely no fwd pressure, damn we used to thrive on it

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Not worried. De Goey been quiet which will change in 3rd qtr and only 8 points.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I think we need to hold the ball a bit more. They’re doing too much damage with the ball.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I need to know what’s wrong with Elliot

Is he playing hurt?
Is he having issues in his personal life?
Is he too comfortable?
Has he just tipped over that hill to being too old?

Whatever it is it needs f**king sorting because he’s a liability at the minute.

Might need a rest in the VFL

 

[unplugged]

Assuming last year we worked out that we can't play the run-and-gun for 4 quarters. And now this year we're content to be within reach and absolutely send it in the last quarter.

Still, looking very flat in the middle.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

We have had 12 tackles I50. It’s not the pressure in the forward.

We let them get out of our 50 too easily.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Let’s hope we play a massive 3rd quarter

Agree. I’m wondering if our game plan suits wet weather football. But it’s hard to tell with terrible delivery and then our forwards offering little contest.

Midfield has been down too. De Goey, both Daicoses, Sidebottom, Pendlebury. Mitchell.

Terrible second quarter.

 

[HFF]

Forward half game is not in good shape at moment
Both offensively and defensively
The heavy metal pressure way off and to be fair needs fine tuning as it has only appeared in spurts all year

 

[doofdoof]

I don't know why we are no longer switching or running hard to the middle. Seems like every kick from defense is going down the line to a pack

 

[No SPIN]

This whole media beat up about us being this exciting free flowing team is a myth! We are an average side playing it safe and only keep ourselves in tight games through our fitness and never say die attitude.

Eventually the tower will topple.

Settled down FFS.
