Autopsy Roast & Toast v WCE & Changes For Collingwood

[Cactus_]

I absolutely want us to win games when we can.
We’re going to have two top 5 picks anyway, and young teams need to learn to win.

This is spot on

Winning culture far more important than a pick up or down the draft order

 

[captain blood 17]

I reckon the usual FW’s had their pens poised to start talking about Shanahan over Faull tonight. Hopefully it shuts a few up over the draft selection.

 

[Philth]

The whipping boys did well tonight.
Kosi presented well and applied pressure.
Sonsie was very good I thought.

 

[captain blood 17]

Starting to forget what a loss feels like

Winning fatigue. It’s real mate. Take it easy tomorrow.

 

[Oh we're from..]

Feel dirty not voting for the backline boys, we would've been in all sorts at qtr time if not for how well they held up.

 

[Black Saab]

Jonty's turn for a rising star nom?

The dude never shirks a contest.

It was his contested work against Harley Reid late in the second QTR that set up an important goal after the WCE player spudded a pass backwards.

Someone needs to put a superman cape on him in a gif.

GIF would be epic, in the meantime, this will have to do.

 

[tropicaltiger]

Back to back wins, finally kicked a ton, Faull lit it up in the 3rd. No passengers today. Wonderful evening.

i thought lordoftheringholes was quiet

 

[Dreamend]

Immense by just about every player. Ross, Jonty and Maurice some of the biggest performers.

Kosi, while not setting the world on fire, is providing that option, structure and contest that is senior enough to keep fronting up.

5 wins in a season we were slated to potentially win 0, it's so sweet.

I was worried his bash-packs approach wouldn’t translate from Coates…It has…

 

[Joey longshadow]

That was very very satisfying..
Sonsie huh...well whatdya know ..maybe he can play after all .

 

[prodigy]

That third quarter really showed what we want to be long term.
High speed ball movement, launching out of our back half, hitting corridor kicks, chaining with confidence and really making the ground big by using our width.
It was a beautiful brand of footy to watch and as we develop, it will keep getting better and it will happen against better teams.
Was thrilled with that performance.

I love the Jont. Hard bastard and is starting to get rewarded for his hard work all year. We've got ourselves an absolute ripper.

I'll admit, I was almost completely off Sonsie. Almost. He played a great game today. Was hard at the contest, used it very well and got rewarded with a goal. There's a place for him on a wing in our setup moving forward. He gave the footy department something to seriously ponder tonight in relation to a potential extension of his contract.

MRJ was just excellent and he is one we definitely need to persist with.
Ross was brilliant in shutting down Reid. We've got ourselves an effective cooler when we need to go to it. Which is very handy.

There were many great performances tonight but those are the handful I wanted to make sure I shouted out specifically.

 

[Defibrillate]

We really do have a player in Faull. The kid has serious game.

 

[one eyedtiger]

Great win, we really looked exciting when we got our game going. Plenty of run and carry coming from our half-back line was awesome to see, cutting through the middle of the ground, beautiful stuff.

Experienced guys all did well, Taranto, Hopper, Vlaus, Broad, Nank etc. That is what we expect of them, solid performances, it won't always fall their way but when they play at their best it allows the youngsters to shine and show us glimpses of what they can do.

MRJ, Sonsie, Young, Campbell (disappointing to lose him for next week), Faull and Hotton all showed plenty.

5 wins for the year is a massive tick, games into kids is another massive tick. We may win 1 or 2 more games on the run home, we may win none. It's a been a good year when compared to expectations. Plenty to like, still plenty of work to do. Well done Tiges.

 

[lalorGOAT]

Yet another reminder: pre-season games mean absolutely **** all!!!!!!!!

[Dreamend]

To be able to put Sonsie, Ross and MRJ amongst our best is a big tick for not only the players, but coaching staff for backing them in.

 

[Groupie_]

the delusion from carltoon fans ringing sen now is hilarious

 

[GoTigers2015]

Good to see our half forwards becoming lead up options out of defence. Both Sonsie and MJ took marks in a chain from a kick out. Both used the ball well when they had it.

 

[captain blood 17]

Taj Hotton - 2 from 2. Just sayin.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Pity Seth will miss next week with concussion protocols. Thought he was electric tonight. And we cannot change the backline. Miller and Young have been tremendous as the key pillars. So what do we do with Balta next week?

Kozi and Balta forward next week. Give Sims a breather.

Jonty is a brilliant selection his 5 goals in the preliminary final against Oakleigh Chargers last year was amazing
Especially watching it live. Walking away from that game hoping beyond all hope we would recruit him so glad we did

sen dj reckons pies team has class

 

[living_in_syd]

To be honest i think our older players are playing too well, we can overpreforming and comprising our draft hand. Our draft pick is gonna balloon out to 6-8
