People who try so hard to be so positive about anything negative directed at Collingwood, we sure are negative when it comes to player injuries and thinking the worse.

Maybe something to think about.
 
Yes,the skills,particularly in the first three quarters,were exquisite.When you see the best playing the best like that,it does make the standard club games seem a bit pedestrian.
There was no pressure at all, if the club games were played in the same way you wouldn't be saying that
 
Pendles will go down as one of the best players to ever play the game. I don't think people will truly embrace how good he is/was until he actually retires and they sit back and look at all the AAs, etc.

There was a hot debate a couple of years ago about who'd be remembered as the better player; Pendles or Selwood.

If it's a race to the finish line, Pendles wins by a margin, regardless of flags won.
 
Fox Sports rated Grundy, Sidey, Howe and Pendles 7, but Darcy 5.

Thought Pendles was worth 8+. They said that Darcy wasn't as offensive as he usually is.

Howe received great plaudits from them.

Pendles was at 11.

Tell you what, Moore has been super impressive tonight. If he can stay fit he’ll be close to the best key defender in the comp by the end of the year.

Moore just as mobile as supposed super mobile Blicsavs if not more. Certainly the most mobile Vic big man.
 
Yeah, was running out of defence, chasing, catching smaller blokes and tackling them plus leaping very high to spoil quite often. I noticed one of the commentators asked how good he could be.
Moore looked lot better then Blicsavs

Frustrated the schizenhausen out of Jack as well.

I like Moore and Howe's chances against Lynch and Jack going on that game................... zero pressure in it though. Will probably look completely different.

Moore seems to have Jack's measure. He towelled him up during round 2 last year but was missing for the return match. In 2018 was doing well until we ran out of defenders with Howe suffering concussion and Shaz doing his knee. Reckon his height and athleticism bothers Jack. Roughie does well on Lynch.
 
Blicsavs was mainly on Hawkins who looked stationary most of the night.

Hawkins looked treacle slow in that game, complete opposite of anyone of Moore, Howe, Blicsavs, Jack, Jezza, even Lynch.

The speed of that game we'll unlikely see in premiership points or finals games. Was bruise free, rare skill error stuff .................... zero pressure will lend itself to that and for that reason was entertaining to watch.

Pressure is still king in this league when the real stuff starts, we'll be there abouts.

Just like the NBA All Star Game

Dangerfield Fyfe and Martin are better players right now.

Pendles top 5 in Collingwoods history, for sure.
