That knee to the face had to hurt

 

[Strange Cat]

That narrows it down to about 300 people on this site.

They are the same poster just endless Benny’s …in any case you all know who I am talking about

We are one of the best off ball system teams in the League.

We underestimate how good our team defence is.

Players can only cover so much space, you can't be strong everywhere. Once we decide to settle deep, clubs might as well limp the ball to the F50 arc. Going fast into our zone just gives us the ball back.

 

[Lana]

They grabbed something they didn’t NEED.

You don’t give up FRP’s for guys who are just additional players.
Thats what you give up for genuine guns/ball winners/key position players.

Made even worse by them dumping a similar player for less.

 

[Gunf]

Can hear the crowding going ball ball ball ball every tackle ******* flogs

Masterful coaching by Scott as usual this year …we are going to badly miss him when he eventually goes

When I watch a game like tonight I have to wonder what the hell the coaches want their players to achieve

The fat lady is warming up the vocals for Collingwood's 2024 season.

Exactly.

When we were winning the Premiership we were still bringing in Henry, Bruhn, Bowes, Clark etc.

We knew we needed to keep rejuvenating while our window was open. We didn’t grab players in positions of strength, we grabbed guys in position of need. We needed young versatile mids and a mid sized forward who could replace Rohan long term. We got that.

This needs to be entered into the Louvre, immediately.

Keeping Adams, Ginnivan and their first/second round picks of 2024 would've been a much wiser move.

 

[Gunf]

Carlton have a very average turnover defence

We saw it last week and we are seeing it again tonight

 

[FootyLad0]

They got ahead of themselves.

Wells is the legit GOAT and Mack is quickly filling that role expertly.

We retool on the fly while getting it done.

Others go all in during the window and leave nothing if it backfires.

 

[Mr Meow]

Geez I put the mozz on the Blue boys by getting ready to call time on the Pies! Nice response.

24 free kicks in our game vs Carlton last week.

19 thus far tonight, and there's still 6 minutes to go in the 1st half.

Different type of game. These teams have put a brick wall between them and are taking turns banging their heads against it

Whats the FK stats for the hard done by Blues?

Umpiring is so wildly inconsistent game to game and week to week which won't change unless

1 they make rules more black and white
2 AFL stop giving directives each week

8-13 Colls way atm

I don't think our moves where that obvious, we did the best we could with what we had and what was available, all it cost was a Collingwood premiership.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Best thing we could do is beat Melbourne and lose to Port, they'll extended Hinkley another 2 years.

 

[Lana]

They're both making so many mistakes back to back, that a goal becomes inevitable, its a coin flip to decide who gets it

He’s not getting sacked whether they win or lose.

They gave him an extension last year. Kochie won’t pay him out.
