Game Day JLT- Matchday Discussion Collingwood @ GWS (UNSW - 7:10PM EST)

[jmac70]

Maybe at your place but for 3 quaters of the other supporters it would be heaven because not only will it give us the best key forward of the last 20 years but we would finally see the end of Buckley and Eddie

This is the Collingwood board mate. Are you lost?

Hahahaha, that statement is dumber than the Bible verse you quoted, so what, it's also an opinion on a forum, to me Bucks is useless, get over it

 

[mike123]

Is it just me or has Reid lost his major weapon (no Walter it’s not his hair) in his kicking.

I noticed it last year so I am not judging it just on the GWS game.

Thoughts?

That's why we can't play him as a defender imo.

I’m naturally sceptical of people who are happy when Collingwood lose. Your posting suggests you are not a Collingwood supporter.

Believe what you want, I've probably been a supporter longer than you've been alive. Maybe I'm sick of all the mediocrity and the bad recruiting and overall bad decisions of the last 6 years, AND, I would rather end up last than 9th

It’s unusual for such a passionate supporter to want to the club to finish bottom before the season starts.

As I said, we need some top end talent and you ain't going to get it by finishing as an also ran, you may as well end up last and get the best, and by round 12 you will see that we havn't improved at all, just being realistic, our depth was on display in the JLT and it was pathetic

You are correct in saying we need to wait until round 12 to assess our chance for finals. I expect us to be around parity and in with a real chance of an elimination final finish.

Agreed mike123........must play forward even if Moore does.

 

[Mukesh]

There are some Extremely Highly Rated Prospects at Top of this Years Draft

As there are every year.... how about we leave all this draft speculation until October..

There is lot Better and Higher Rated then Most Drafts

Again... I’ve seen that said every year...

Agree, Reid at ff, Moore at chf, Dunn fb and could even give Mclarty a run at chb to see how he goes

 

[Schraderbrau]

Again... I’ve seen that said every year...

consensus was that the 2017 draft sucked and my recollection is that 2016 wasn't that highly rated either

whereas this year's draft is considered strong in top end quality and in depth

Ask a serious question first.

Really terrific post.
I’ve highlighted one aspect I’d slightly differ on.
Phillips is just a bit different as brings to the table elite endurance.
That will always give him a “trick” point of difference in close selection calls.
He could go on to a nice level for ten years plus.

Smith, Oxley more your depth vanilla types.

Happy to disagree on Phillips. Had elite endurance when he got to the club, needs to do better if he's to have a long term future.

We’ll see...

 

[Eddierules]

Exactamondo - it's perfectly reasonable to expect to see evidence of improvement in game plan / skill execution. Was there evidence of either of these facets on display? Appears not from comments on this board. I hope some of the blather and crappy jargon that emanates from the club doesn't permeate instructions to players either on the training track or on match day.

If he wasn't so slow he could get away with being uncontested.

ahhhh the Ox is slow but the earth is patient.

Happy to disagree on Phillips. Had elite endurance when he got to the club, needs to do better if he's to have a long term future.

Had no profile against GWS, he was uninspiring. If the game was called 'Run' he might be elite but not when it's also about getting and disposing of a ball.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

That's why we can't play him as a defender imo.

His kicking seems to have lost depth.

 

[Soups]

We’ll see...

I’ve been watching the draft for a long time and there hasn’t been too many years where the 17 year olds have out played the 18 year olds. Definitely an exciting draft coming up.

 

[mike123]

His kicking seems to have lost depth.

I wouldn't know I haven't seen him get a kick recently.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I wouldn't know I haven't seen him get a kick recently.

Watch the highlights video Dave posted. He kicks a goal.
