Toast Round 10 = Collingwood 78-74 Adelaide

[Chrispiesssss]

The last 8 minutes of the 2nd quarter was horrible. Made the game way closer than it needed to be.

Boy did the umpires come hard for Adelaide that last 15 minutes. Collingwood couldn't buy a free kick until the end even though there were multiple warranted.

Great win considering we were one down on the bench for a quarter and a half.

Next week Mitchell and Beau hopefully back, and surely they bring in Kreuger for Cox. He was putrid today and I know Krueger isn't the greatest going around and is injury prone, but I will back him to at least judge a ball in flight and not run under it every ****** time and clunk one.

Sadly, Kreuger is next to useless as a Ruck, so he can’t be a back up for Cameron.

How could you forget his 5 hitout prelim against Sydney!

Too good

And in the unlikely event of Essendon, Melbourne & Port all losing, we'll stay there.
But we're in the eight and the scum are back in their rightful place.

They could take their pick of bringing Kreuger in for Reef or WHE though. Even if Mihocek returns.

Some things in life are inevitable. Death, taxes, and domus racing to the defence of Cox after someone dares to criticise him.

True - but equally inevitable is the derision and lack of appreciation of Cox by so many.

 

[No SPIN]

I thought he looked really awkward and ineffectual playing a tall forward role today. He gets away with more playing in the ruck, but Cameron is having such a consistent year that a back up ruck like Kreuger who essentially plays as a key forward seems more logical.

Krueger can’t Ruck he isn’t even close to adequate let alone capable of supporting Cameron.

The media are all awash with the "controversial" free kick, as if it affected the result.
Rankine ran nearly 10m more than the rule allows, so it was the correct decision.
It's a bit like the "keep left unless overtaking" rule - seldom enforced.

Krueger to play fwd is definitely on the cards and hopefully shows his early form.

It's just the nature of Mason. When he's bad he's really bad.

Turning Walker inside out in the last was a great play

from my Delorean

It was.
He thought so too and then dump kicked it

But, but without his 25m run, Adelaide wouldn’t have had a ball up with 15 seconds left.

A ball up I tell you! Damnit man!!

Fumbly first half. Good second half.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Just watched the mini replay. Harrison and Sullivan have added a lot to our team with their super fast handballs in heavy traffic and vision to hit targets. They are almost in Nick D territory.

It's a shame he didn't hit Walker on the chest. He might have if Walker wasn't too busy holding Moore's arm.

You realise you aren't allowed to do this unless you invite a horse around to share.

Send me another bottle and I will call it quits and not send the ponies around.

A Shakespearean tragedy if ever I heard one.

Meanwhile if Rankine didn’t try to cheat, the God of the Hebrews wouldn’t have smote his hamstring. Bounce the ball, heathen.

How goods a win? Adelaide still suck

 

[Chrispiesssss]

A few great things, IQ’s smoother & Fin yelling at Crisp to make sure he knows he’s been chased.

Love it.

 

[Exambolor]

Also it’s pretty funny that Keays tagged the 36 year old Pendles and not Naicos lol

As much as we won it’s getting undeniable the team needs to be trained hard on how to take a contested mark.

We get smashed in that area time and time again

 

[Prexm]

You'd think with the carry on Rankine kicked a goal after his run, or a Crows player marked the ball. If the free kick wasn't paid, the Crows had 15 seconds to kick a goal, and I'm backing us to defend that. It didn't cost them the game. People are are unable to deal with a loss emotionally and just need something to blame.

They wouldn’t have had even 15 seconds. The clock stopped when the whistle blew at 16 and the players continued to play not knowing. Think it would have been not much more than 5.

3 of our best contested marks are out injured: Howe, Checkers, Billy

Don’t forget Hawthorn

Hawthorn need to lose every game for the rest of the year. We have their 2nd round pick.
