That Suckling kick is what Hartlett should be able to do without thinking.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol two kicks and they are deep i50 from defence. That suckling kick.

 

[LFC2010]

my god the Bulldogs get the rub of the green week in week out. It makes me sick.

 

[_VXV]

Mayne is s**t

 

[Doctor Feel]

Those collingwood players did not want it enough. Four of them almost stood completely still in the middle of the ground while treloar waited desperately for an option. Disgraceful effort.

 

[StuMan]

Pendlebury is a top captain, doing his best to get his team across the line. Not enough help though.

 

[LFC2010]

Mayne is s**t

most over rated player in the AFL currently.

 

[Hammer#8]

Who on earth is rating him?

Hard to believe.

 

[Marmozet]

Collingwood can hold their heads high.

Dogs have a bit of work to do if they want to challenge this year and prove that last year wasn't a fluke.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Would love the umpire run

 

[Papa G]

Hard to believe.

Gubby Allen.

Western Bulldogs once again struggling to crack 100.

Collingwood was diabolical with it. +17 clearances, +24 contested possessions, +17 inside 50s, lost by 15.

You talking about the Darcy Moore mark? That was a crap decision, Any other time it is paid. Umpires will often not pay those at the end of the game but will pay them earlier.

But why ? Whats the difference
I guess the game is corrupt

Also, there looks to be a reason Collingwood have the #1 midfield in the league according to CD.

Adams. 33 touches (60%), 12 clearances, 12 tackles, 1 goal assist
Pendlebury. 35 touches (83%), 10 clearances, 6 tackles, 6 inside 50s, 2 goals
Treloar. 33 touches (72.7), 8 marks, 6 clearances, 10 inside 50s, 1 goal.
Sidebottom. 35 touches (83%), 8 marks, 6 clearances, 4 inside 50s 2 goals.

136 touches (75%), 21 marks, 29 clearances, 24 tackles, 24 inside 50s, 5 goals, 1 goal assist between the four against the reigning premiers.

 

[Papa G]

This in the rooms stuff is horrible. * of Bt!

 

[Janus]

Collingwood's midfield is great.

Their defence and forward line is so, so s**t. So much pressure but they're just not clean and don't setup properly.

Dominated every single stat and couldn't get it done because they weren't clinical enough.

Dogs won't make top four - but it doesn't matter really anymore because the advantage of the week rest has been diminished. Will still be a contender at the pointy end.

Yet champion data thought Treloar's game wasn't worthy of 100pts..

 

[TeeKray]

Hard to believe.

Well he kicked more goals tonight than he kicked in his last 7 games at Freo combined, so he's improving.

And yet here we are hoping Dixon does the same.

 

[1954]

I thought the dog's defender clearly got first touch of the ball, and actually punched it sideways, before Moore `marked ' it, so in my opinion the scumps got that one right.

Re Moore, if he isn't the biggest figjam I have seen since Bucks then I will go he for chasey, but at least Bucks had the runs on the board, if Moore could get any further up himself he would turn inside out!

 

[PatientMental]

Collingwood's transition into the forward line is poo.

42% converting inside 50s (62) to score (20% of collingwood's inside 50s were goals)

Collingwood's defence is also a s**t show.

56% of bulldogs inside 50s (44) resulted in a score and (34% of inside 50s ended up as goals).

 

[Power One]

Love it

I did too. The love/hate thing is part of the Aussie rules appalling behavior thing that doesn't need to be interfered with by wanks.

Some umpires don't like to give 50/50 decisions at the end of the game that lead directly to a goal that may change the result. It often seems that they are expecting that the alternative, that the leading team will take minutes off the clock will be forgotten.

What do you mean the week rest has been diminished?
