Putting Stephens in the same category as Melican is a gross injustice.Reid, Florent - Not up to it...mentally weak.
Melican, Stevens - need more time
McCartin - Not convincing...again...

Felt like he was playing Blakey's role and did it much better than him. He did a lot more than AliirIf it weren't for the 2 pot luck goals he was good for nothing. We had no numbers around the ground all day, and him replacing a mid was one of the reasons.
Would honestly rather Blakey for just the energy to make it to contests. Dunno if we were watching the same game but we were outnumbered 4:1 every contest, and felt like 5:1 forward of centre. Thurlow isn't the type of player to play that role.Felt like he was playing Blakey's role and did it much better than him. He did a lot more than Aliir
Nice melt.It is getting to the stage that people who defend him on here are plain and simple embarrassing themselves. I would go as far as to say he is embarrassing himself. You are ****ing CHF for **** sake !!! The ****ing key !!!! The Lynchpin !!! Not ****ing Reid !!!! He plays like a ****ing goal attack !!!! Lz Ellis would have a ****ing birthday on him. Sorry he's lost me.
I don't rate Blakey's energy atm. He looked shot and needed a circuit breaker. For his own development he had no right to play this game. Collingwood are a bigger, better, more experienced side who have a very good defensive set up. Scoring was always going to be hard particularly with our midfield weakness. Thurlow provided more around the ground than Blakey would have and more than Aliir didWould honestly rather Blakey for just the energy to make it to contests.

Too harsh.If it weren't for the 2 pot luck goals he was good for nothing. We had no numbers around the ground all day, and him replacing a mid was one of the reasons.
i'd happily trade him.Anyone who suggested we trade Lloyd should hang their head in shame.
Midfield was always going to be beaten (though we were coming in the 4th before the stretcher) but the game was always going to be about can we score from Collingwood turn overs given they can't score.50 inside 50’s to 33.
Extra 9 scoring shots.
Midfield well beaten.
We hung in but t’s a reflection of how poor the Pies were that we that close. I doubt an isolated error here or there cost us.
Agreed. Yes he kicked 2 goals once but that was because he was the only tall playing. Keep Aliir as the 3rd tall backAllir is not a forward. Melican is not a footballer. I love Paps but he must eradicate Greg Luganis quality diving from his game.
Collingwood should have put us away in the first. They keep us in it and we nearly pinched it.Midfield was always going to be beaten (though we were coming in the 4th before the stretcher) but the game was always going to be about can we score from Collingwood turn overs given they can't score.
The answer was almost
Nice melt.
Like I said, Collingwood can't score. If we were cleaner coming out of those I50s they had against us in the first we could have won with a decent margin early. We weren't because we couldn't capitalise on a weakness of CollingwoodCollingwood should have put us away in the first. They keep us in it and we nearly pinched it.
Collingwood aren’t going to finish in the 8.Collingwood should have put us away in the first. They keep us in it and we nearly pinched it.
Unlucky, probablyCollingwood slightly better. Thought plenty of positives.Unfortunately....we just panicked a bit toward the end and couldn’t take the chances that presented. Some decision making really hurt....Oh boy, Melican has probably played his last game, ETaylor had a bit of a mare however Wicks and Stephens showed plenty.
Might be so but I'm not ****ing wrong. Go ahead defend the ****ing hack.

Lol - a bit harsh. D has been under the pump for lots of the game. Mistakes will happen eventually. AA and Florent had worse games IMO.
