Autopsy Round 5 = Collingwood 39-45 Fremantle

[PonsfordMagpie]

Ugly match. Terrible result.

Missed opportunity as I thought we were better for the majority of the night.

 

[unplugged]

What a frustrating game. A well coached game outside of two 5 minute lapses, which turns it into one of the most frustrating losses you'll ever see.

Poor goal kicking cost us that game. Mcstay around the corner, etc.

We lost it. Freo didn't win it.

 

[Pera]

Just a really, really dumb last quarter.

Tried to play the possession game with a lead in the wet for the majority of the quarter, then tried to play a lateral handball game when chasing.

The killer instinct has been coached out of this group.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Signing DC to a three year contract is one of the worst list management decisions ever.

 

[Exambolor]

Horrible game to watch, and compounded in losing that way just sucks man….

 

[Chrispiesssss]

We are definitely not a top 8 team. We have 8 players who aren’t afl level.

They all happen to be in our forward line.

 

[hellfire]

The upside is, I don’t really care, because I know we’re not competing this year.

 

[cityslick1]

We’ve gone from the best team in the league to watch, to one of the worst…

Elliott and Shooter as our forward targets… no chance

P.s great debut Angus Anderson. Def a first team player

Signing DC to a three year contract is one of the worst list management decisions ever.

Add Jamie to the poor contract decisions.

 

[thebaldfacts]

The 2 sitters we missed at the start of the last quarter killed us. We lost the game through poor goal kicking.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Fly said he wants players not picks. Well, we have neither.

Time to look at some positional changes so we can bring in players like Parker/Ryan etc.

Last year for Pendles, Steele and Howe. They are all best 23 but they are stopping us getting games into players we need to.

 

[gouki88]

I am really frustrated with a lot of things.

But one thing that I can't explain is Steene playing 51% TOG. What the **** is that coaching? We did it with Cox last year, but with an extended bench and (one would imagine) a kid with a better tank than Cox, I just find it inexplicable. What is the actual point of including him if he plays 10 minutes a quarter? It feels like our coaching is trying to be too clever or cutesy maybe. Why is he ahead of Buller if we don't trust him to play?

An easily winnable game we pissed away. Oh well

This is what happens when you let players influence list management

It’s time for change
How can we continue like this ?
No F50 strructre
Trying to keep it to a low score weekly

We have become everything McRae promised we would be when he took over

 

[J Albert]

Team has lost its identity. Literally no idea what our game plan is it changes week to week.

 

[Dubaimagpie]

Horrible. Just horrible. Poor execution.

 

[Doc1763]

threw it away, McStay, Schultz & Elliott cost us that game in the last quarter. Just gutted, two 5 minute bursts, and we lose by a goal. Just so deflating.

Wut? You tell Frampton to only kick down the line in the wet and not 20m chip passes, and we win against probably a top 4 side.

 

[Monco Matt]

We're taking the P155's, clueless football team just playing to hang on for four quarters and hopefully fall over the line every week. What has happened? Half the team has fallen off the cliff. Goalless final term, horrible errors, game over. Horrible uninspiring football and got exactly what we deserved.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Signing DC to a three year contract is one of the worst list management decisions ever.

Especially with the new ruck rules and that we could have traded him for something decent.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

If we won, we would be lauding a coaching masterclass by Fly.

Very frustrating night. I think everyone at the club will be filthy we didn't get the result.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

We are definitely not a top 8 team. We have 8 players who aren’t afl level.

They all happen to be in our forward line.

This is likely the first time ever that Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond end up the bottom 4 teams.

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

We are no longer fun.

Kind of end of that premiership era. Bit sad.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

That was absolutely awful in a completely different way the Brisbane game was awful.

Essentially controlled a large majority of the game and yet all Fremantle needed was essentially a 5 minute spell for the whole game to win the game and kick the same amount of goals we did for the whole game.

Forward line is completely broken. Not sure whether it’s the lack of quality, or the fact that Goldsack has no idea what’s he’s doing.

 

[Peters_Nuts]

Just such a disappointing result.

I feel shocking for our back 6. They couldn't have done more.

Also the AFL app says Steene attended 0 centre bounces and 51% time on ground. What's the actual point of playing him?

Time for McStay to go now unfortunately.

 

[BigVic]

What a dull game
