Pies Kicking has been atrocious this year.. from kicking out back to the delivery to the forwardline and around the ground.. They were the highest scoring team the last 2 years and tonight they went just about 3 quarters of the game with 3 goals (credit to Sydney though)but they used to scored from everywhere much like Hawks this year..

Really need to stop bombing it in.. Especially Swan from the clearance loves a high bomb and then it gets cut off at the 50 meter mark...

If they can improve there and get Dawes or another KPF to help Cloke , they will be back...
 
Bucks and Collingwood have 1 more year. I think Bucks did okay considering pressure and injuries. But if he doesn't make the GF next year he should be toast. He happily took the role from the best coach in the country with a list as good as any.

If he doesn't deliver he got to go. Can't image that fat headed ****-face Eddie ever admitting that he was the engineer behind this if in fact it does go wrong.

I'm not quite sure if peoples opinion of footy has skewed as a result of recent history and a couple of once in a lifetime teams (Brisbane/Geelong). But the reality is teams generally don't consistently stay at the same level every year, particuarly as weaknesses are exposed and tactics change.

I'm pretty happy with a prelim final appearance for the pies. When you make it to a knockout final it all comes down to your performance in one game unlike the expanse of the full season. All credit to Sydney. Played much better on the day and won almost much every position.
I'm always impressed when people take the time to write a polite, well reasoned response to what is basically a thinly veiled troll (like 90% of the mainboard is these days). Far more effective than giving the OP the satisfaction of rising to the bait.
 
A first year coach making the Prelim is far from a disaster.

Rarely do first year coaches inherit a grand finalist side. And even rarer in such cases does the previous coach get the boot to make way for the first year coach.

From grand finalist to preliminary finalist is a backward step, at best.
 
Collingwood are a formidable club with a strong list, good game plan and a successful culture. With all that going for them, they should be a force to reckon with for quite some time yet. And they gave their all tonight.

None of which changes the fact that Eddie McGuire is an insufferable douche.

They were doomed to fail the whole time. When you have people like Buckley and Harvey around the joint who have no idea what it takes to win the big one, what can you expect.
 
Egg on Eddies face?........................looks more like beetroot to me!
That's just the rest of the Aussie burger he's saving for later...

Eagles were happy to let Worsfold persevere through 3 years of filth after having been a top 4 side for 3-4 years.
 
They lost the GF last year? How has it backfired? Insecure Carlton morons. That's right...get arrogant again. We all enjoy the results.
 
Its a big Fail, Mick would of won them a Grand Final spot. FIGJAM knows nothing about winning the big one, so how could he coach a team to win the big one.
Cannot see any moves that Magic Mick could have made that would have changed the result. McCarthy funeral would have drained them emotionally also. I think they did ok given the circumstances. Buckley will be a very good coach.
