Rnd 22 Collingwood Vs Adelaide

[hey shorty]

I see what our gameplan is...... Get off to a great start, kick quick goals and come in a quarter time a few goals up. Then during the 2nd quarter we let Buckley have the ball WHEREVER he wants and exact no pressure at all......... or at least thats what it looks like.

I was pinching myself with all the frees we were getting but it didnt last did it ?? How can Clarke just put the ball on the ground and get away without a HTB decision ??

Also, we are continuing our trend of making certain players look a great deal better than they are..... How many games has Ben Reid played ?? We are giving him no respect.

Cmon boys lets come out firing in the 2nd half otherwise its going to be a very disappointing end to a disappointing season.

People can lament on umpiring decisions all they like, we've got off with a few and/or benefited from a few that haven't been there.

True that. Ive been very suprised with how we've been dealt with by the umps bar the last 5 minutes. I fear we might struggle with them from now on that we've got a few up on them statistically speaking and they've got a few up the sleeve.

I agree, umpiring bad for both sides

To think our season is on the line and they serve up that crap

The second quarter was ****ing pathetic. Roo deserves better than that.

Lets hope the boys can pull their heads in, their fingers out and give the great man the send off he deserves

Any one see Eddie McG on TV. Did he get sun burnt or is that just a rash all over his face? He looks shocking!

Ricciuto shouldn't be playing IMO.

With that said, he'll probably kick 5 in the 2nd half.

We certainly had a good run with umpiring to start with, so we can't complain on that respect, but the free not paid in front of goal (HTB) and resulting in a goal to them was absolutely disgraceful. That can change the whole face of the game.

We played sensationally well in the first quarter but should have been further ahead. I knew Collingwood would come out firing in the second, and they did. We withheld it for a while, but some poor decision making on our part and increased pressure on theirs, turned the tide.

Hopefully Craig will make some changes at half time. Goodie has to get into the game, he's being tagged right out of it. I wish they'd tag Edwards to stop him turning the ball over to the opposition! VB has been relatively quiet. Has Mattner even had a touch - and has he even been on the ground?? He needs to get into it too. Roo's done some good things, but his lack of chase has cost us.

Perhaps move Gill into the back lines, and put Stevens up forward?

[- PC -]

I think the umpiring has been ordinary for both sides. My only wtf moment was Clarkes shoulda been holding the ball in the goal square


Go Shirley...yeah lets drop him

 

[crow87]
