Collingwoods skills

[Kenneth_]

Was wondering does anyone notice the lack of skills collingwood has especially in there midfield. I find alot of their wins are flukes. All they really do is bomb it out of the centre into their inside 50 where as when you look at teams like hawthorn, wb, carlton, geelong, st.kilda etc they actually measure up there kicks and try and hit a target inside 50 instead of launching big kicks inside 50 and hopeing the ball gets to ground so there 5 or so small forwards can crumb it. It's kinda good coaching by Mick Malthouse considering their forward line is pretty much small crumbing forwards but im yet to see some genuine skill other than pendlebury in their midfield. I was at the carlton v coll game with my mate and i was constantly mentioning to him watch when coll get a centre clearence all they do is bomb it inside 50 and even he was realising this was true especially in obree and swan. Veryyy overated side IMO.

F*ck wit\. If u watched some carlton games u would realize that that is murphys problem. he is always looking for the impossible pass.

You are a spaz, go ahve a drink back on your own board.

Murphy yesterday had 28 touches with ZERO clangers and 86% efficiency!!

Compared to Thomas who had 22, 4 & 82% and Pendles 23, 2 & 70%.

I know who i'd want, i hard ball winner or your soft outsdier and show pony who goes missing.

Team of battlers with no stand-outs. When the pressure is on, you need 1 or 2 stars to really lift the others. They dont have that.

I heard there skills were pretty good, apparently the are the best skilled team at bending their elbows, bringing their glass filled hand to their face and then performing the 3 man weave.

lol hard at this comment. WTF are you talking bout. Swans effective disposals aren't even as good as murphy's. Talk about being bias so typical. First of all i wasnt bagging your team i was just spotting out what good coaching MM does but it would be nice to see how you guys would actually travel if you actually tried to hit targets from centre clearences. Your midfield is crap btw very much like kangaroos midfield. Very overated side use have.
Player: AVG Disp: Effective Disp:
Judd 23.4 %71.37
Gibbs 20.3 %78.10
Stevens 23.6 %70.68
Murphy 23.7 %69.29
Scotland 24.4 %75.77
Carrazzo 26.1 %78.29
Swan 24.9 %68.12

Collingwood and St. Kilda I cannot believe these two crap teams are in the eight. Both are a disgrace ohh well at least they will both be out in the first week.

Probably a fair analysis and probably the last season you can make it.

Suspect he'd get a game for Collingwood.
