Non Lions Discussion 2024

[martinson]

I'm really not worried about either of these sides if we get our mojo back.

Of course we've made it hard for ourselves if we can't string a run of wins together.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Cripps/Walsh/Cerra doing sweet * all. Pies midfield is so vulnerable, yet the Blues mids just can't stand up and take control of the game.

Carlton have fallen asleep and haven't even look liked scoring the last 10 minutes.

 

[martinson]

I'm no big wrap for Schultz but I'd kill to have someone who's so reliable in sealing opportunities.

 

[martinson]

Seriously punting on football is money for jam. Collingwood were 2.70 pre game. Just unload and now you can back the blues or lay the Pies for a no lose situation.

This is the set up in most games. The mug punters pile in to the obvious and generally get it wrong. More often than not you get silly odds in an even money game.

Just in case anyone was interested.

got 50 for dissent by throwing his arms up in frustration?

Compare and contrast to Skunkhead Maynard unleashing a torrent of invective at the ump just then…

 

[martinson]

Maynard squawking like a hyena when the first dangerous tackle free where he got dudded by the umps goes against him is beyond ironic.

 

[Elixuh]

To be fair Owies manufactured that whole thing. That slid shouldn’t be given frees. Stop paying them to him.

 

[martinson]

McKay's marking has kept Carlton's nose in front tonight.

A key forward who can consistently take contested marks is like gold.

Voss seems to have turned a few of their players from just above average players into near guns. Acres ,Newman , Hewett ,McKay with his confidence back.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Carlton no chance here. Ball at wrong end. Collingwood will score a behind.

 

[martinson]

That was just a brilliant goal by Daicos.

Collingwood are just so disciplined in close finishes.

Just play so smart. It can't be something they do instinctively.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Pendlebury deliberately kicks the ball from the middle of the ground over the boundary line at the 50 m line. Umpires bottled giving a free to Carlton LoL.

Was a great goal but was hoping for another draw.

That's what happens at the end though isn't it. The umps put the whistle away. Pendlebury knows this.

Almost right!

Wouldn't have surprised me if he'd tried to kick a behind. It may even be brought up in Collingwood's post match review.

Carlton would have been far less likely to score from a kick in than a centre bounce.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Wtf was McKay doing poking in a kick 45m out with 2mins to go.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Not a smart footballer.

 

[MSB ROYS]

There was a lot of remonstrating with the umpires tonight, which were ignored. Defeats the purpose of those earlier crackdowns if it's going to be ignored.

It was then under a minute. I think you take the goal . Almost impossible for them to score twice in 50 seconds.

But yeah , I was betting on them to rush a behind. You could see that was the plan as they kept edging it around the boundary line.

 

[Paul Mac]

And then in another 4 rounds time when all has been forgotten about umpire dissent for the last 1-2 years it becomes hot property again and we start over again. Amazing how certain rule interpretations or flavour of the month things happen for a certain period of time and then just get completely forgotten about.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Before I go back and review it, anyone wanna have a stab at how long the last 5 minutes of tonight's game went for? In actual time?

Looks like about 9 minutes.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Nick Daicos is overhyped by the Melbourne media what a crock.

I would love a midfielder (& half back) that can take off from a stoppage, HIT targets and the scoreboard in our side. If we had a prototype of him we wouldn’t be in our current state.

Ashcroft says ohai.

And so does his brother next year.

What’s with posters using this thread to have a dig at our club?

Our midfield has been great over the past 5 seasons
