Autopsy Round 5 = Collingwood 39-45 Fremantle

Frampton was close to our best player for the night.

Well done to Maynard, IQ, Crisp and Angry too.

Good point.I don’t know why people are rubbishing Frampton.He was one of our best players and held the backline together all night.

 

[TradeDraft]

Feels like I’m missing out by not blaming someone, as it must be someone’s fault. I’m just not sure who.

Everyone excpet the Backline

 

[GreekLunatic]

If mcstay kicked that I reckon Schultz would have kicked it mcstay seem to zap the energy from the team with that misd

JDG , Elliot look completely gone.

Jaicos's decision making has reached a whole new level of crappery. Not sure what is going on with him but he looks completely out of it .

For all the experience we have , our decision making which used to be a hall mark has completely dissipated.

Think we need to start blooding the youth on a permanent basis.

Thought Josh’s effort, one percenters , spoils , tackles as good as I’ve seen from him. Throw in 9 intercept possessions , man we have some tough markers.

 

[Hazz]

I think he tarnished it when he kept harping on about how much he deserves to be paid. Because he's definitely not worth what he's being paid this year so far

yes, well, that too of course!

just one of those goals would have broken Freo

 

[Exambolor]

Good point.I don’t know why people are rubbishing Frampton.He was one of our best players and held the backline together all night.

Bloke bloody tries his heart out each week

 

[Go Woods]

Shattering loss, we kicked ourselves out of it, Elliot a massive disappointment, just looks cooked.

 

[Aussie pie]

Fly likes to stall or somewhat destroy young careers. Steene will be the new Allan....

This

Why dont you stop being a marshmallow

Ok, ill do that boss, just dont share the images of you and eddie

 

[nickyds35]

Elliott….

I can’t remember another player having 5-6 howlers in a row in the last 5 minutes of the game.

 

[anshell]

Do you think Dockers are also a poor footy side?

Yes,if we are so terrible,why did they just fall over the line,mainly due to our woeful goal kicking?

 

[IlovethePies]

i don't get why many posters here are slamming our so called pathetic team when fremantle only scored 6 points more, and are clearly a Premiership contendor.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I feel bad for our defenders. They did a terrific job to restrict Fremantle to 45 points. All of them will be in my votes tonight.

Our forward 50 connection let us down badly. We had 61 inside 50 entries and only took 10 marks. Our forward line needs to be under serious scrutiny for its lack of movement and our mids are not doing enough to provide our forwards with good entries.

Anderson's performance was a positive, despite a howler in the last quarter. His third quarter was very exciting and leaves me optimistic that we have a good player in our hands.

Some of the set shot howlers were unforgivable, which cost us dearly. Looking at McStay and Schultz specifically in this case.

 

[901023]

Checkers’ body can only hold up for half a season now. It was the right call. We need to make a few more calls like that.

We should have bitten the bullet and called time on 3 out of Howe, Membrey, Sidebottom and Pendlebury.

Poor list management again.

 

[Lunchtime]

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

The "Big 4"..........and trust me...plenty in the AFL world outside of these 4 clubs will be laughing seeing the Big 4 as bottom 4 teams

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

I think the Fly mantra of happy family, we are winners eventhough we lose, players basically doing whatever they want, that can end. I'm a member and l want this fking club to start getting ruthless and Fly getting harder on players.
All the kumbaya BS can now go, and its time to start cracking the whip....

 

[Monco Matt]

Josh has become a butcher, tonight was the worst game I’ve seen him play.
Nicks disposal hasn’t been much better to be honest either.
They both need to get the “cute” out of their game, especially in tight games.

They both played like they're off to Tassie.

 

[HFF]

i don't get why many posters here are slamming our so called pathetic team when fremantle only scored 6 points more, and are clearly a Premiership contendor.

It’s been pathetic for the most part of 18 months …not fun to watch
We can’t score anymore

It’s a grind and eventually we will be blown out and broken

 

[No SPIN]

The BS on this tonight is laughable, especially from those who all week said we’d lose.
Fly comes out with great gameplan that suffocates one of the most offensive teams in the game, expected to finish Top 4, and save from some poor finishing we win.

We were the better team all night!!!

I’m tipping Longmuir is sleeping with his rabbit foot tonight, after taking some migraines meds.

 

[gouki88]

Thought Josh’s effort, one percenters , spoils , tackles as good as I’ve seen from him. Throw in 9 intercept possessions , man we have some tough markers.

I thought some of his tackling efforts were really poor tonight, similar to Houston. That kick straight down Freo's throat from centre half forward didn't help

 

[ksardog]

GET WEST IN
Start Steene at the centre bounces

It’s not rocket science

 

[cfc19902010]

Ok, ill do that boss, just dont share the images of you and eddie

Quality posr

 

[foreigner]

Hate to say this but Sidebottom is done.

Yes he and Howe should have retired last year. We give the kids a go, to know what they've got.

This team is boring to watch. It was Fly who moaned when we were slow and boring when he came in. Now he has turned us into the most boring team in the comp.

 

[Moore of the Same]

To me it feels like the coaching staff are still trying to hold onto the idea that we're a contender. We're clearly not this year. Hard decisions will need to be made eventually.

This, to me, is problem numero uno. There's a lack of reality acceptance, and maybe that'll take 8-10 round to realise, but sooner the better. This isn't doom and gloom, fyi, it's just reality. We won a premiership more recently than 16 other teams, that was somewhat unexpected and amazing. There's a lot of faces in this team that have been here a long time, we need a proper refresh and that might mean a little mediocrity short term.

The longer that our coaching lives under the delusion that we are contenders this year, the more wasted opportunities to blood new talent and try new things.
