Poor Hird got knocked last week and they ran it for all it was worth last week in the media.
Today RShaw was the leading possession winner on the ground by far, and Essendon (as always) targeted him with a oopsly convient king hit. Did we respond? Nope. Have the game, if you please. Don't know who did the hit. Hope the bludger gets suspended. In 1990 this fired us to a GF. But the point is Collingwood did not now defend Rhyce (also did you see the TV vision of Browny in the coaches box? the guy with the 1990 hit that swamped us back to a GF - but now disappointingly no-one on TV has ever seen Browny utter a sentence in the coaches box to contradict or even engage MM and thus can never be seen as his replacement) . We are neither nasty enough nor fast enough.
MM your current approach is up in eyes of all Australia. Play newbies, as they did with Lovett at al, or you have lost public credibilty for our club. Thank goodness you have Rusling, Yakka etc. We don't need to beat St Kilda next week; our yardstick tomorrow is that we need to be better than we were today.
