I would usually say unlucky or good game but luck had nothing to do with it and from your POV it wasn't a good game.

If I was a Collingwood supporter I would be absolutley disgusted and ashamed of how Collingwood played today. They really let the supporters down.

The lack of effort put in was a disgrace, whether it was that the players had had enough for the year or didn't try because of draft picks is just not good enough. High draft picks are no excuse for sacrificing a clubs dignity.

There were a couple of Collingwood supporters down in front of us that I really felt for today, they made the effort to come to Adelaide to watch the game and were served up with that crap today. No one, not even Collingwood supporters deserve that.

Hope the guys can put in a better show for you guys next week.

Yes at the moment we are serving up crap but if I took half of the Crows players out of your side how do you think they would go? Thats unfortunately our predicament, HALF our side is missing and our best players haven't been able to hit the field. Go through the missing names and even the most ignorant fool would admit they would make a big difference. I notice Adelaide have hardly had an inury this year, only Johncock missing a decent stretch, makes a big difference doesn't it.

Bah seriously what would you expect?
With all those players out Buckley would have to have a great game as would Licuria, O'Bree, Burns, Holland, Woewodin to have any chance at all. Buckley would have to kick 5 AT LEAST and J.Cloke and Maxwell, medium defenders, not tall forwards, providing great targets up forward against the best backline in the league. Every player would have to forget about the disapointing season and give as much as they could. It wasn't going to happen. Sure it was shocking and just about as bad as it gets but alot of things would of had to go right to realistically get within even 5 goals against the full-strength 2nd on the ladder team.

I appreciate where your at fellas, remember the Crows' 140 point loss to Brisbane last year?

Even with the players that you had on the field, their attack on the ball was severely lacking and the 100 point drubbing that we gave you was almost obvious after the first five minutes. Collingwood didn't really want anything to do with it.

No doubt you guys have been decimated with injury, but I would be more concerned that the attutude of some of your senior players is not like Clement, who tried his guts out. Woey was woeful - no accountability on Burton who was burning. What's wrong with Licuria? No method going forward.

Who do you suggest we replace them with?

We have 20 injured players.

That leaves Eddie and Mick

Should we play them?

You completely missed my point. I would be concerned with the attitude of some of your senior players. They weren't exactly leading by example. Even at full-strength you have an old midfield with no one of any note coming through. This is the area which you need to address the most.

Also, given your continual bad run with injuries, do you think the club should look at it's player management.

Yep...it's stating the obvious to say Collingwood were shyte yesterday.....and sure they've got a lot of injuries.....but I can safely say that's the worst EFFORT I've seen from a group of 22 players.....which I think must be the most worrying aspect. Surely you play for the jumper no matter who is in the side. It was odd to come away from the ground after a 110 pt win thinking that we should have won by another 6 or 7 goals such was Collingwood's effort.

:confused:

By the sounds of it, I am fortunate that I couldn't find a pub with FoxFooty in the part of Tassie I was in!
wasnt exactly something to write home about, and i only watched the first quarter and a half (replay). Was at work so thankfully couldnt watch it live.

Taking a look at the Crows midfield, Edwards 29, Ricciuto 30, Goodwin 29 and McLeod 29, I wouldn't exactly call them young either. Its all about injuries, the last 2 years we have had them and struggled, the previous 2 years we didn't and had good years. There is nothing wrong with the attitude of our senior players, the 'team' collectively is not good enough with so many out, its as simple as that.

There was a problem with the attitude , but most of them know the season is over and are playing out time(I believe Crows supporters will know what that's like, a 158 point loss to the Lions last year may bring back some memories).
There is serious problems with our midfield the main one being there is little quality there and we will not go anywhere till it's remedied.

Collingwood are a disgrace. You guys have basically tanked it to get priority picks. You have got the best facilities, oodles of money and supporters, a high profile President, and supposedly a gun coach and you are going to finish 15th/16th. Shame, Shame, Shame.

If it wasn't for Shannon Grant's heroics two weeks ago, we'd be on 6 wins, so accusations of tanking are miles off the mark.

Haha, that's hilarious considering the great tank you guys pulled off today. Up by 41 points at one stage and 22 points going into time on.

There should be an investigation into Hawthorn, just like the Lachlan Veale-Rawlings fiasco.
