Harsh. He's clearly better suited on a wing and should be left there.
Kennedy in their best, is this right or lazy journalism?
chamberlain was unlucky I thought he was good for them

Nonsense, Roughead won that contest.
Nic Nat also wasn't deserving at all. He got a lot of clearances, but didn't do too well in the ruck compared to his usual standard. He also only 4 metres over the whole game. Redden and Duggan were much much better than Kennedy and Nic Nat

Extremely lazy. Where is Witherden in this? First game for the eagles, had 30 touches and used it exceptionally well.
Journos just sticking with names that jump out at them.
I’ll take that risk.

Couldn't even spell Naitanui correctly either FFS, not that he should be in there anyway.
Collingwood’s tour of Perth at Optus Stadium began brightly, before significant injuries and decline in consistency saw the Magpies falter against West Coast by 27 points. In the opening term, the Woods got out to an early lead with Brodie Grundy leading the way with two marks up forward resulted in majors, while Darcy Moore was swung forward for the entire match leaving the defence slightly weakened without him. Once Jordan De Goey took a heavy hit to the nose, coupled with Jeremy Howe’s hamstring injury in the second term, the team could not sustain the energy and performance required to win the game, and took a significant nosedive once those two moments occurred. After Howe went out of the game, Moore was kept forward with reliance on inexperienced defender Mark Keane in tandem with Jordan Roughead to hold the fort behind the ball. Both of them could not quell the dominance from Oscar Allen (who I urged Collingwood to draft in 2017 with our first selection before selecting Jaidyn Stephenson) and Jack Darling who dined out on an unrecognisable and smaller defensive unit with Moore not stationed there to take intercept marks. To rub salt into the wound, Collingwood were unable to deny Dom Sheed’s withering burst of 3 goals deep into time-on of the third term that made it incredibly hard for the Magpies to realistically challenge for the win once he kicked the dagger through the heart as he has done numerous times before against Collingwood. Sheed will forever be the greatest villain for that Grand Final goal he converted in 2018, which still gets spoken about to this day. Early in the last quarter, Collingwood had a sneaky chance when they reduced the deficit to 22 points with almost 9 minutes of game time remaining before the Eagles were able to kick clear to snuff it out and prevail comfortably.
Collingwood only won four statistical categories on the night. They were contested possessions by +5 (143 - 138), intercept possessions were won by +3 (68 - 65), while hit-outs had a margin of +1 (29 - 28), and +8 for Inside 50s (50 - 42). West Coast flexed their muscles winning the remaining statistical categories such as disposals by +75 (414 - 339), kicks were won by +74 (268 - 194), +1 for handballs (146 - 145), and uncontested possessions had a differential of +70 (274 - 204). Clearances had a margin of +8 (39 - 31), of which centre clearances were won by +2 (15 - 13), while stoppage clearances were +6 (24 - 18). Uncontested marks were won by +50 (123 - 73), with a differential of +5 for Contested Marks ( 13 - 8 ), while tackles had an advantage of +15 (51 - 36), and Tackles Inside 50 were won by +3 (6 - 3). Marks Inside 50 (11 apiece) was the only category in dispute.
Jack Crisp (32 disposals @ 62%, 541 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 23 uncontested possessions, 7 intercept possessions, 21 kicks, 11 handballs, 7 marks, 5 tackles, 1 goal assist, 11 score involvements, 2 clearances, 2 centre clearances, 4 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) continues to win the ball at will, but his ball use has been deplorable and inexplicable, especially in his last two matches including this game.
Scott Pendlebury (24 disposals @ 88%, 373 metres gained, 10 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 11 kicks, 13 handballs, 4 marks, 2 tackles, 3 goal assists, 7 score involvements, 5 clearances, 4 centre clearances & 5 Inside 50s) created scoring opportunities and won enough of the ball to use it effectively.
Steele Sidebottom (22 disposals @ 77%, 248 metres gained, 11 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 10 kicks, 12 handballs, 3 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal assist, 6 score involvements, 4 clearances, 3 stoppage clearances & 5 Inside 50s) had a reasonable night without dominating. Improved his ball use from his previous game to give his team a chance of scoring some goals.
Brodie Grundy (20 disposals @ 70%, 184 metres gained, 15 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 25 hit-outs, 11 kicks, 9 handballs, 3 marks, 2 Contested Marks, 2 Marks Inside 50, 7 tackles, 4 score involvements, 2 clearances & 2 goals) started like a house on fire in the first quarter, before his influence diminished after that, yet he competed extremely well and won his battle against Nic Naitanui in a losing cause which was very unfortunate.
Chris Mayne (19 disposals @ 100%, 195 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 15 uncontested possessions, 4 intercept possessions, 10 kicks, 9 handballs, 4 marks & 7 score involvements) had a solid game where he used the ball well and contributed to scoring chains, which he usually does not do very often.
Levi Greenwood (19 disposals @ 74%, 282 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 13 kicks, 6 handballs, 2 marks, 5 tackles, 3 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 2 Rebound 50s) relished more game time, and had a crack with his intent to tackle and gather the ball from stoppages.
Finlay Macrae (18 disposals @ 61%, 242 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 9 kicks, 9 handballs, 4 marks, 4 score involvements, 3 clearances, 3 stoppage clearances & 4 Inside 50s) displayed promising signs on debut as he emerges as part of the next wave of midfielders the Magpies have coming through the ranks.
Brayden Maynard (27 disposals @ 85%, 428 metres gained, 11 contested possessions, 16 uncontested possessions, 11 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 12 handballs, 4 marks, 3 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 4 Rebound 50s) managed to win a lot of possessions, but he was having to battle Jack Darling (a battle that Maynard won against him 2 years ago), who cashed in on Maynard’s lack of height after Jeremy Howe had injured his hamstring which made Maynard’s task much more difficult.
Beau McCreery (11 disposals @ 54%, 239 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 7 uncontested possessions, 7 kicks, 4 handballs, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 3 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 2 goals) had his best game for the club so far, and will look to build his standards in the coming weeks.
Brody Mihocek (11 disposals @ 36%, 290 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 2 uncontested possessions, 10 kicks, 4 marks, 2 Contested Marks, 2 tackles, 8 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 2 goals) disappointed me with his wasteful conversion in front of the sticks which let the team down. Late in the third term after kicking a behind to reduce the deficit to 23 points instead of 18 points, Dom Sheed kicked the next three goals in no time to extend the lead for the Eagles by 41 points. Ensure you own responsibility for those behinds, Brody, so that the team does not risk a four-goal deficit becoming seven majors like it did in Perth!
Darcy Moore (9 disposals @ 78%, 268 metres gained, 2 contested possessions, 7 uncontested possessions, 9 kicks, 8 marks, 2 Contested Marks, 4 Marks Inside 50, 1 goal assist, 6 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 3 goals) started well outside his normal habitat, couldn’t get near it in the next two quarters where the game was lost, before finishing with a flurry of consolation goals to provide a respectable finish to a dismal loss.
Collingwood’s next game will be against Essendon on April 25 (Anzac Day) at the MCG. Time to find winning form now without desired personnel available for selection and produce a brand of footy that is sustainable over four quarters against the Bombers who are equally depleted. Hopefully, there will be full capacity announcements for venues such as the MCG and Marvel Stadium here in Victoria, that would make the entire state smile in the event that it does occur before the weekend.
