Game Day Freo v Pies (warning, may contain David King meme)

[Purple Jesus]

Stop giving away free-kicks in front of goal (most have been there if we are being honest) and we should be okay. The defence are holding up relatively well but we can't keep giving so many repeat entries and expect to hold them.

It’s the inconsistency.

 

[Feathercap]

I'm loving this test to be honest. It's exposing those on the list who are up to this pressure and those who aren't.

A win today is a bonus, this is a great game for preparing this side for what's to come.

100% this - the honest toilers unfortunately just cannot hack it in the pies forward line

 

[Mr Cheese]

The issue for Collingwood is going to be maintaining a 200+ pressure margin for the whole game (admittedly some of our fumbling has likely elevated this). That drops to even 185-90 and I think we start beating the press. That happens and who knows, we're certainly capable of scoring.

 

[largebus]

Good. Lyon going off again about the 50m penalty.

Watching the 7 feed (cause Dwayne and Lyon suck) and Nick Riewoldt absolutely teed off when they replayed it.

 

[noise36]

Holy shit 63% to 37% time in forward half, need to even that up, defense needs to be able to get exit without turning it over

 

[freo84]

Just watching the Shultz free and 50 replay - the umpire that called it was absolutely unsighted. He had no vision of that whatsoever

If anything it was HTB ffs....

Their older players will drop off.

We need to tighten up on McCreery

I know.

 

[Footskill]

When we can't clear it from defensive half from repeated stoppages, it's a team D not just up to the defensive unit.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

That call is incredibly consistent

It's a big Victorian team against Fremantle (would also probably get called against most other non-Victorian teams - see the Crows last few games against the Pies at the G)

Yeah, he's really turned into a weapon for the Pies. Big, fast, hits hard and can run all day. What I'm hoping Drizzy becomes (with added goal kicking nous of course).

strongly disagree. this is a rare opportunity to make a statement plus we need to keep winning to ensure a home final or even top 4 finish. I'd be bitterly disappointed if we lose this. Pies are shaky AF.

Only a goal down being shafted by the umps

Unbelievable how one sided it has been then they didn't get a free for 5 minutes then when they did gave the bronx cheers.....

 

[MadMundy]

We're probably in a good position for the second half, umpires usually balance things out when the discrepancy is high, only being 7 points down helps us.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Worner, Wagner and Banfield can't deal with Collingwood's Half Forwards. Elite defence from Collingwood.

 

[Jezzitizle]

We have a few players hardly impacting, led by Jackson and Treacy.

If we can get them in the game it would help.

 

[Bicco]

Behind the glass with my boy! Great game. Collingwood crowd is nervous we've got the most room for improvement. We can do this.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

The 50m penalty was for umpire dissent apparently - because Worner (or whoever was on the mark) pointed to the replay of the original free on the big screen.

For the first 18 rounds that isn't dissent, but soddenly now it is an auto 50, even though nothing is said, just a point? Wow.

 

[dominguez]

Would love to see Vossy kick 6 or 7 from here.

 

[toto95]

Hope Voss decks Maynard

Wasn't even a point

Pointing to the screen is 50. Just players are smart enough not to do it anymore. The yelling directly at the umpire however…

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Amiss is just not doing enough and needs to be dropped
