Review GBU vs collingwood

[Kane McGoodwin]

In the last 27 games, we have had 10 of them decided by 1 goal or less.
Our only win was the Carlton jailbreak by 2 points. (Thanks Owies and a few others)
1-9

We have too many players that lack composure late in games when needed.

We don't know how to take time off the clock.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Clown s**t.

Why don't we then?

 

[GreyCrow]

Because the use of our sub is a fundamental thing Nicks should be able to get right, his misuse highlights what an idiot he is.

Oh I was sober, not busily checking my fantasy team.

So another terrible coaching performance by Nicks, so you going to finally admit you’ve been wrong?

Did you switch off at half time

 

[ABAB]

according to Fox Footy, Rankine ran 24m, didnt seem that far

Did they count the bounce he took in between the 24m lol.

 

[MatthewB]

Did they count the bounce he took in between them lol.

yea they did

 

[Eddie Murphy]

according to Fox Footy, Rankine ran 24m, didnt seem that far

MCG patches are 9m and he ran almost 2.5 of them after the bounce. We cannot let Nicks hide behind a dubious call again, yet another s***ing the bed v pies is beyond luck.

 

[George Kramer]

Did you switch off at half time

No I watched, I didnt want to do a Wayne

 

[Southerntakeover]

Was the Schultz goal actually a goal? At the ground they just showed a still picture of it touched over the line. I'd like to have seen the frame prior to the one they showed.

It wasn't

Might have won with the extra run from Sholl.

And RoB not kicking to space in the last 2 minutes....

Still can’t believe he subbed Sholl, like if you wanted proof Nicks is a ****ing idiot, his sub decisions show no feel for the game

 

[Greenfinger]

Nicks shouldn't consider himself unlucky

There is a clear trend in our performances in close matches

Nicks is never wrong. Nicks never makes mistakes. Nicks was let down by the players . Sick of having a coach that is poor on match day , conservative and inconsistent on selection and never owns anything

 

[jackster83]

I don't dislike Bickley.

But reckon even he woukd have Roo and Tex ahead of himself.

Dawson and him on par, with McDermott.


Bottom tier Sloane and Goodwin.


Honestly, all good choices as skipper. No duds there.


McGuinness the one dud, I guess?

VB was our worst. Classic Neil Craig making a plodder the skipper.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

We lost because, once again, there's too many players that lack composure. Keays going for glory instead of passing off to anyone of three free players would have iced 30 seconds off the clock. Instead, it's a turnover and a coast-to-coast goal to de Goey.

That's the game, if Keays had any composure, then the free against Rankine doesn't happen.

 

[kirky]

Meh, another close loss to add to the pile.

Unbelievably stupid by Keays to go the glory shot when we were up.

Laird is now sticking out as the weak spot in our midfield. Time to send him back into defence.

No, time to send him a message. Back to the SANFL.

Was at the game and he doesn’t bust his gut, in the first quarter think I counted 4 players who run past him to the contest in the Collingwood forward line.

 

[WetCrow1991]

People like to say that these close losses are a good sign, shows we are competitive. Though with these huge numbers of close losses it is more of a trend that we suck at winning the close ones.

VB was our worst. Classic Neil Craig making a plodder the skipper.

He was so bad that Geoffa just plain forgot to mention him. Ouch.

 

[DJ75]

according to Fox Footy, Rankine ran 24m, didnt seem that far

He probably did - because he runs so fast, but that doesn’t change the fact that it gets let go multiple times a game. To pick that one moment to call it is amazing.

 

[Geoffa32]

Interesting graphic they showed was our last 10 results at the MCG.

2017 to 2024, 10 games at the G. 7 seasons.

10 games in around 7 seasons, at the ground the GF is played.



Worth noting that Collingwood have played at Adelaide Oval 11 times over the same period.

[DJ75]

It's probably better than Laird kicking it 20 times to be fair.

From his 5 kicks I remember at least 3 or 4 terrible turnovers or miss kicks.

Laird is awful.
Crouch has regressed to his norm.
Smith is absolutely cooked.

Yet we will weld these people on to the team for at least another year. We can’t help ourselves. Should be phasing them out by now

 

[Bernie L]

Good: Rankine, Crouch, Dawson, Michalanney

Pretty Good: Cook, Murphy, Keane

Bad: Hinge, McHenry, Laird's ball use

Awful: ROB,

Ugly: ROB's kicking

Diabolical: ROB'S ruckwork.

Shameful: Nicks for sticking with ROB for so long.

Hinge bad?????

He far king killed it!!

 

[Geoffa32]

VB was our worst. Classic Neil Craig making a plodder the skipper.

Forgot about him


So yes, indeed our worst....

according to Fox Footy, Rankine ran 24m, didnt seem that far

Almost everyone knows he ran too far, but the issue is that gets called play on 9/10 times.

Then to pull it out near the end of the game when players have consistently run more than 15 metres without bouncing during the game is ridiculous.

This is why fans get cranky about the umpiring.

Can you imagine. Up by 1 point with 90 seconds to go. Your ruckman gets free at 40m. And actually kicks the goal.

 

[Gtowncrow]

It wasn't

It wasn't a goal?

 

[dogs105]

Hinge bad?????

He far king killed it!!

His 2nd half was far better than his first
