[demondavey]

Jezza is such a flop.

Must have spent a lot of time watching Rioli and Puopolo

 

[MelbourneGWS]

What an exciting match. And to finish off the wonderful day, need to watch Chris Scott

sook at the coach’s press conference!

 

[Xtreme]

I LOVE YOU GWS!!

 

[ipswichpies]

Whereas Pies haven't played there in 30 years

It is not big enough to hold our supporters let alone yours as well and you know what it will probably be a 130 yrs before we play there again get use to it instead of sooking about it.

Yes it does not get much than seeing his antics after they lose.

 

[Tenens Pila]

That was alarming if you were a Giants fan, Clearly no system for the final minutes of play.

Needed Hogan at both ends.

Maybe that's the system.

The Giants did win......

It's big enough now

Pies have an exemption that no other club has

Protected princesses

 

[Frappe]

Cats blew it

Sure did. Mind you their I50 conversion was pretty good.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

The AFL is really strange in this regard. It should not matter how many seats are available to away fans

 

[Gavin Excell]

Sure did. Mind you their I50 conversion was pretty good.

Their ball movement too is elite when they decide to play that way

It's a wonder they don't play more attacking football more often given the class they have fwd line

 

[SSSSSS]

Probably someone closer to home

 

[Wojcinski]

Probably someone closer to home

Hawthorn trains the flop, you've got Watson, Moore and Ginnivan the top 3 floppers in the league. Your opinion as a Hawthorn supporter holds no weight here friend

It was a great game. Someone had to lose. I was barracking for gws but Geelong won't lose any admirers with that performance.

I'd rather we player Geelong there, we have a better record there against Geelong than at the G.

So it's not the burn you think it is.

I’m sure the current players take a lot from that

And all three of their moves can be traced back to one bloke.

The original.

 

[PhatBoy]

Yes and no.

If we had gone to 6-3 with the players missing from our defence plus no recognised ruckman it would be an outstanding spot to be in having played all but one of the other top 8 sides plus another who is, admittedly probably only in mathematical terms at least in St Kilda, vying for a position.

Bring Humphries, Stewart, Jack Henry, Jake Kolodjashnij, and Stanley, maligned as he may be, back into that side and it looks a hell of a lot stronger so another win looks bloody good.

But to get into a position where realistically we should have won, with the Giants having lost Stringer who for all his flaws looked very dangerous, was a bit of a failure

 

[Wojcinski]

So it's not the burn you think it is.

The last time Collingwood played there was 1999, they've played 3 games there since 1990 so yeah I'm sure the gang would feel right at home down in Geelong with that 51% winning percentage established in the 1950s

 

[LoungeLizard]

I’m sure the current players take a lot from that

Who cares what they think, the record we have there is over 100 years, we seem to play well there against Geelong.

Geelong play well against us at the G.

So maybe if Geelong stop asking to play us at the G we might get to go back and play there.

 

[Osho]

Not sure if it’s just us or I just notice it more because it’s my team, and it’s actually all teams that do it, but gee we seem to over-commit players to opponents who are already ‘taken care of’ when the ball is in dispute.

Ie. there’s a stoppage or the ball gets kicked to a contest, it’s on the ground, an opponent might get to it first but there’s no way they can have time to direct a clean kick or hand pass to a teammate because they’re more or less tackled or pressured, but another player goes in to try and assist anyway instead of looking after a possible recipient of the random ‘get out desperation flick out’ and suddenly they are away in clear space.

They’re trying to do the right thing but all it does is allow the opposition extra extra players and time and space and almost invariably they’ll create a scoring opportunity out of it

One of the disciplines in modern footy is keeping width and not getting drawn into a contest by sacrificing an outlet. It can also happen in pack mark contests when it'd be handy to have outside sweepers set up to receive the ball when it's flung outside a few metres.

It'd be interesting to know the coaches instructions for different scenarios.

Footy Gods strike again.

Karma for Blicavs the cheat after saying he touched it last week.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Yes and no.

Yep agree
Disappointing to not deliver
Having said that, was a great game to watch

I had forgotten about that
Fair point

Exactly - it seems counter productive even though it might be an effort thing and being willing to ‘help out a teammate’ and coming from the right attitude, I really notice it a lot with us that we over commit players to ‘hot spots’ as it were and don’t guard outside players or even space as well as some of the other teams. But like I said maybe I just notice it more because it’s my team that I’m paying attention to

Danger did get a fair piece of the ball. I actually thought Blicavs ripped it out of his hands. They tend to pay them one way or the other but it’s just a matter of who they give it to and it’s generally the guy who ends up with it
