I really don't understand why we completely go away from our gamestyle once we get a decent margin on the opposition....

 

[Gaben]

The intent to slow things up with about 8 minutes left was really poor. Not sure if it was a bit of a tactic to practice heading into finals, but it was no good.

Well you know what I think

Good to get 4 pts

But * off Collingwood pathetic putrid defensive effort !!!

Nick daicos wins the medal also do we charity case at the G

 

[Dan Moody]

no Maynard, no Checkers.
We can see who really holds up the backline now

I don't think there was any intent to slow down. A couple of poor kicks resulted in turnovers and goals. We have an issue with clubs getting a run on and not being able to stop it.

Naicos best on ground? actually thought Q was great tonight after the first 5 minutes. A whole game performance, where as Nick had a couple of quiet qtrs, but then again he was unbelievable in the third. On the plus side, this probably guarantees Naicos another 3 votes in the Brownlow

I’m gonna guess it’s a pretty physically taxing game style. Not really sustainable for a whole game.

You can't be serious. Go back and watch the last 10 minutes, we actively slammed the brakes on with about 7 or 8 minutes left and focused on just trying to possess the ball. Blokes running round giving the slow down signal, running to receive the ball in negative territory, handball receive game stopped dead.

The turnovers were a direct result of the intent to hold and chip the ball around.

Anyway, like I said, was highly likely an in-game trial of our ability to do what we did for later in the year but we executed it terribly.

Bianco was doing an Adams, stopped our momentum like we were shot with his turnover kick across half forward, then his smothered kick. We looked off from that moment

Now we can all relax watching the rest of the games and how they play out. We can’t be moved from top spot.

Two goals came directly from our players kicking into the man on the mark. A third came from a poor kickin to a contest.

None of those errors have anything to do with slowing the game down, which in itself is an entirely appropriate tactic.

That's true, plus two 6 day breaks, looks like we fatigued in the last half of the 4th...

This was my read on the situation too.

Another 3 Brownlow votes....Another 7 to 8 coaches votes, you would think....

Toast - Round 17 = Western Bulldogs 77-89 Collingwood

Excellent win in my opinion despite the drop off in the latter stages of the final quarter. Both sides demonstrated their quality throughout the game. From halfway through the 2nd to the early stages of the last quarter, we produced a masterclass performance. Nick Daicos in the 3rd quarter was...
