Collingwood v Western Bulldogs: Prongs and Grundys. AFL Round 4, 2019

That looked nothing like the sport I love

Both sides were absolutely woeful. Not a clue what you were watching.

The problem with the Pies is they have 3 midfielders who are awful users of the ball. Adams, Treloar, Phillips.

I’m surprised you managed to limit it to three.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Umpires did their best to keep the Bulldogs in it but Pies irrepressible when it mattered

Umps help the dogs every week.

Also it’s so congested around the ruck contests around the ground it’s hard to get a clear advantage from a hit out, so it’s interesting as to how Gawn & Grundy can capitalise more on their dominance.

Dewy nights are the worst for taps to advantage IMO, Grundy put the ball down a team mates throut many times but the ball had to much heat on it, rucking when it's raining is easier as you mostly go for territory and get the ball moving your way.

Hard to argue with that, and the fact Pendles isn't what he used to be.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Be surprised if Pies play finals. Average team.

Has anyone got some tissues?

 

[ep2018]

if it is humid at night it will be challenging.

That's what got us.

Its cringy hearing it in US sport games let alone in an Australian game.

Not as cringy as Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi

I cringe hearing that too. Imagine yanks saying that when Aussie stars play in US sports.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Mayne looked very crook there

Copped a heavy one to a kidney IMO.

How about Booooo?

That's what got us.

Very challenging when you get drawn to play them away there early in the season.

Pendles has surprised me a little in the first 3 weeks ... I think he's been playing well and was instrumental in getting the Pies up last night.

I actually quite like the Pies but your biggest problem is you have far too many poor users of the ball by foot in the one team.

Disappointing game of footy last night, all the sideways kicking literally put me to sleep at 3/4 time. It’s early days but I hope the standard of footy improves as the year goes on!

 

[Ocker]

Awesome game. Loved it.


Well played.

For real?

You need to get the old VHS tapes out and remember how footy should be played.

The game is in trouble.

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

In all seriousness the Dogs were good. Not sure how they were so putrid last week. Maybe they should request or more from Marvel to the G.

I would love that.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

That was a dreary negative game. It looked like Longmire was coaching both sides.

The Pies did well in rolling the Bullies and the Umps and limiting the free kick differential.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Bevo has one trick. To flood. What an ugly game.

He's fast becoming a blight on the game with his negative tactics.

 

[FrankCostanza]

4 points is 4 points. Important to win ugly sometimes, could make all the difference later in the season

Agree with that.

Collingwood fired up when it was important.

Umps help the dogs every week.

They did two weeks ago!

Lots of bad kicking, Collingwood , nearly kicked themselves out of it at time with paases, but the cream came to the top in the end.
Any one say that Elliot isn't a gift to Collingwood well him and that long tall American saved the night, but I thought the game got a little pack forming too, like Sydney v Melbourne Thursday , but, maybe Sydney lock up when they are in trouble, funny first quarter Sydney looked in control couldn't score.
Melb worked their way back in.

surprised any neutral fan lasted to quarter time. Yawn fest.
