Game Day AFL Round 21 - Match Preview Collingwood@Melbourne (MCG– 1:45PM)

[Maggie5]

Look 4, points if 4 points.

But fu** me dead. We're a pretty average football side.

Agree but add JDG, Moore and Stepho, think we may just be a little bit better and then players can play in their rightful positions.

No question, Maggie.

We are such an ordinary side when we try and just chip it around for 30 mins
Not to mention when we don’t have any players forward of centre to kick to
That first and last term was exactly that.
And that’s all coaching as far as I’m concerned

Bang on the money.

The players can show what they can do when they play quick direct footy.

Coaches on the other hand showed how inept they are.

 

[unplugged]

Not phased by that finish. Did enough earlier in the game to take the foot off the pedal. I doubt percentage will be what dictates our ability to finish top 4.

 

[cakewalk_1]

Melbourne doubled their score in the last quarter.
We stopped and played pathetic nothing football by chipping the ball backwards.
We basically refused to go forward and try to score in the last 10 minutes

Look 4, points if 4 points.

But fu** me dead. We're a pretty average football side.

We play 2 brands of footy.

Run and gun brand hitting up targets inside 50 that suits the team and is hard to stop. It is a top 4 style and brand.


Then we have the chip and methodical slow movement with dump balls at the end of kicking chains, this brand is a killer for us. It is a bottom 4 team style for our team and kills our momentum in games.

Quarter 3 vs 4 is a prime example of the 2 styles and results speak for themselves. If melbourne played a bit more urgent they could of stole that game in the last quarter alone despite entering it 40 points down.

 

[No SPIN]

Jog off.

He’s right

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Now we hope for Geelong = Brisbane = Richmond and West Coast to lose, looking at the remaining games and current form our best hope might be to take Geelongs spot.

Yep most likely Geelong. Their form is close to as bad as ours.

 

[J Albert]

Go Carlton!!!!

 

[davywap]

You considered it enough to reply. Hahaha the weather was fine all game. Im glad your happy with the great performance... enjoy the win.

Just because I reply doesn't mean I value anything you have to say

 

[Adz]

Yep most likely Geelong. Their form is close to as bad as ours.

Not even close.

 

[swoop42]

Our inability to keep our foot on the oppositions throat in a final quarter has again been disappointing.

 

[Visions]

Oh yay, the gameplan posts are back

Pertinent though.

We wouldn’t have had a -4 goal difference in that last 25 minutes if we didn’t go back to that stupid gameplan.

 

[davywap]

Can you really blame them with the injury list we have.

I'm sure whatever we do the experts on here will find a reason to blame

 

[Maggie5]

Do you honestly believe the coaches box sent a message to change the way they were playing?

 

[No SPIN]

And this is why this team are nowhere near winning the premiership.

Correct - JDG, Moore, Aish, Wells Stevo were all s**t today - can’t win the flag with such a poor contribution by them

 

[jonbe54]

LOLOLOL you people are a riot.

Yeah we are ordinary at present . . .

LOOK AT THE FRIGGIN INJURY LIST FFS.

Of course we took the foot of the pedal when we could afford to, can you imagine what would happen if we lost Grundy, Checkers or Crispy in the vain search for an extra percent?

Purely calculated shutdown, no amount of percentage will do us any good if we loose any more footballers.

Take the win and bank it, hold the fort for our returning stars.

It's all about getting into the finals with the strongest, fittest list possible now because we will need it big time.

 

[Thatsmyname]

If I had a dollar for every time someone posted this over the last 2-3 years before Pendles goes on to a BOG performance....

There were quite a few wet panties just before halftime rolling out the same sacrificial scapegoats

 

[The Dawes]

Looked like we were just trying to run down the clock for the last 25 minutes

 

[davywap]

Max will be the AA ruckman. He owns Grundy.

Last year Grundy owned him but somehow Gawn got the nod then

Thats pretty much what Pendlebury implied too.

Yep. Otherwise why wouldn’t the coaches box send down the message to go back to quick direct footy that hot us into that position.

I think you'll find plenty of injuries occur when you're half-assing it.

They are right. We know nothing and Bucks is s**t. On another note what’s the ignore limit on BF?

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Not sure what game some posters were watch but Grundy smashed Gawn...
