Game Day Collingwood v Gold Coast at Victoria Park, Sunday 17 Sept. 3.05pm AEST

[Maggie5]

This game is a real opportunity to get a proper gauge on where both Collingwood and Gold Coast are at, after each posted its first win of the season last week. The Suns dominated at the contest last week, which drove their ability to attack, but it won't be as simple this time around against the Pies. How well the Suns go in the midfield against the Pies will tell us a lot about them, and if they can attack regularly without total control in the midfield. If they can, it is a real opportunity to exploit Collingwood's under-resourced defence.

The battle between Brianna Davey and Charlie Rowbottom in the midfield will be one to watch, with the latter the heir to Davey's throne. So far this season Rowbottom leads the competition for clearances with 25 – including a record 16 last week – while Davey has registered 15 over the opening fortnight, but it will come down to which players' teammates provide better support.

Brit Bonnici's 50th game.

Watch, either go to the game, AFL site on 7.

So where the hell is Ruby. Just tell us the truth about when she’s coming back.

Looking at the inside training video, they showed Ruby in a moon boot on the bike.

FFS.
We dont even know what her injury is, only thats a foot issue.

 

[danielnajdek]

At this rate she'll miss the whole year.

Congrats Brit on 50th. One of only 4 originals left in the side.
Gutsy player, gives her all everytime she crosses the line. Hopefully the girls can get an important win on the board for her.
We need to bank these wins and hope we get a couple of good players back in the next few weeks. Go Pies

 

[danielnajdek]

Another former player killing it today.

 

[Jen2310]

I see that. Jamiee.

I'm about to head over to the ground.

Does my head in. So frustrating.

jordyn allen having a blinder ..... shes really stepped up this year in schleisers absence

 

[steviewonder36]

Cant kick for goal, terrible

 

[Harry O]

Such an unathletic unfit and unskilled list we have

High on effort but not much else

The decision to sack a few of our best athletes to St Kilda seems to have backfired

 

[danielnajdek]

Third week in a row where the last quarter has been horrible. We aren't fit.

Lambert was a massive headscratcher.

This team will struggle to win too many games this season.

Goal Kicking as s**t as Melbournes has been

We are abysmal in the aerial stakes. No one can take an over head mark
And we get over run every week because we are so bad athletically

Lambert was just about our Best Player

 

[danielnajdek]

That was a poor game to watch. Our last quarters are the worse in the comp. Don't know how we can be so unfit.

Recruiting. Look at the body shapes of a lot of them.

Recruiting. Look at the body shapes of a lot of them.

Fitness of some players is definitely an issue. As is our inability to take marks at all let along contested marks. Oh, and throw in our inability to kick for goal. Some of those misses were appalling.

 

[danielnajdek]

Also don’t know why Bri didn’t get put in the goal square. Taggers would hate that yet the coach did nothing to help Bri.

 

[Jen2310]

Had opportunities, biut couldn't convert.

The suns looked good. They have talls only we could dream of
