AFL Round 5: Collingwood v Essendon Wednesday 3:20pm AEST @MCG

[Adelaide Hawk]

None.
All served their penance and are now back playing again bigger and better.
What an inspirational group of men.
First bounce back from the drug saga and then fighting in the trenches in the spirit of our fallen soldiers.
This performance should guarantee us the next ten anzac games.

What colour is the sky on your planet?

I sincerely hope you’re taking the piss

What a marvellous performance by Essendon.
Two men down, and battled manfully while undermanned.
That is what the Anzac spirit is about - Not playing players who have been found guilty of drink driving.
There should be 22 Anzac medals minted. One for each Essendon player who played.
I have never seen a more courageous effort in my entire life.

Must be all those tootin barb's still in your system.

40% of Joe Daniher's disposals this year (30 of 75) have been turnovers.

Needs to make better decisions and stop trying to do too much.

 

[The Joker]

McGrath needs to be moved into the midfield or at least play the loose HB role, he couldnt defend the 90yo lady down the road!!!

 

[smasha]

Training run for Collingwood. They'll pull up better than we did last night so that should even up the fact we got an extra 20 hour break.

Nearly half the tackle count of last night’s game.

 

[captain blood 17]

They need to drop Goddard for a month and give a kid a go.


Sent from my iPad using righteous Bhodi manpower

 

[Black white]

Nearly half the tackle count of last night’s game.

Thanks bruce

'Stuff this cup, it's not the premiership cup, let the coach carry it'

 

[BPikkers]

Essendon are deathly slow. Too many players more concerned with picking up 30 uncontested possesions in the back half (Goddard, Hurley, etc)

Collingwood are the opposite. Break neck speed. Players like Stephenson, Crocker and Murray aren't Rolls Royces. But they move the ball fast. sure they make mistakes, but far more good than bad. Reminds me of Richmond.

Sunday's match should be a cracker

I think you’ll see a number of changes with the 5 day backup.

 

[Red Bull]

A lot of efc players don't seem to be what they were a few years ago ...

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Might be time to start taking the Pies seriously. That's a couple of excellent games in a row.

 

[RupieDupie]

Geez Collingwood have been flying under the radar,

Howe, Maynard and Langdon in the back
Pendles, Treloar and Grundy in the middle
Then add in Stephenson

And then the big Cox, if he can fly and mark like that every week...

They have always had the capability, they started 2015 8-3 too If I remember right. Now to see if it sticks for the rest of the season.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Treloar was one of our worst. How the hell did he win the Anzac medal over Pendles, Sidey, Grundy, Varcoe or Dunn? Unreal.

 

[The Doozy]

essendon defenders always seem to rack up a heap of disposals along the half back line ......just looks like there racking up the stats, no fluency

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

What did you think of the loss Goddard?

 

[Off The Couch]

Treloar was one of our worst. How the hell did he win the Anzac medal over Pendles, Sidey, Grundy, Varcoe or Dunn? Unreal.

I thought Varcoe and Dunn were excellent early when the game was there to be one

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Uwotm8

There was easily half a dozen players that played much better than him.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Why does Eddie have his face painted purple before each game?

 

[RupieDupie]

Geez Collingwood have been flying under the radar,

Howe, Maynard and Langdon in the back
Pendles, Treloar and Grundy in the middle
Then add in Stephenson

And then the big Cox, if he can fly and mark like that every week...

And Vercoe, and Sidebottom, Hoskin-Elliott handy up front... jaysus

It will be interesting to see how they go up against the Tiges

 

[YnBlack]

For your (and your fellow supporters) sake, I hope your Footy Dept don't share your insight into the game.

Hoping you bring the Adelaide pressure not what was on display today.

 

[le dominateur]

Time to replace Essendon, the occasion deserves a contest

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

What did you think of the loss Goddard?

Fans always make a lot of disharmony. Maybe when your not in the right place someone has to agitate to changethings though. It really depends why they're arguing to me.

 

[Smokeyr67]

You can only play the team that runs on the ground, if they warrant manic pressure, they get it, if not, they don't, simle as that
(BTW, I thought in general the pressure was good, a couple of lapses, but you get that sometimes)
