Kids don’t need to redeem themselves, they just need to keep having a crack and working hard. Similar to last year, Henry started the season poorly but worked his way into form.

Love how Gini just finds a way to win a 1 v1 whether it’s by milking a free or by a deft touch or bump, almost the exact opposite of Lipinski. Gini so good with the away fans, pure gold. Such a good decision maker around the ball also.

I thought Tyler was good today, didn’t show on the stat sheet but In wet conditions he impacted the movement of the ball.

Howe, Adams, Crisp BOG for us.

Lipinski's game has been underrated today. Thought he was very good outside to an indecisive handball which ended up going to no one.

Worked very hard today.

I understand he’s a pest but it is a bit disheartening that oppo players are actually trying to hurt him. Pretty poor sportsmanship tbh
You only have to ask some posters on this site and they will tell you it only matters if you win.

That is the prevailing attitude and to my eternal regret there are some on these boards that wholeheartedly embrace that.
 
Had to duck off for dinner, is there a link where I can watch a re-run?

Plays his role very well, was not criticising him from that perspective, just pointing out that I have little confidence in him when the ball is there to be won in 1 v 1. The comparison to Ginivan is important, because neither are physical or courageous. Gini finds a way.
 
Also suspected that something was NQR with that tackle on Ginnivan.

Those dickheads went out of their way to try and hurt him today. Took their eyes off the prize and as incompetent at thuggery as they were playing football.

The AFL will turn a blind eye to the Switkowski tackle but that is complete and utter filth from him. Grub act.
 
Pies win, Layba win.
Gonna be a grand dad.

"It's a hell of a day at sea Sir!"

Scotch is out, work is off tomorrow.

Can we all give credit to John Noble, isn’t that exactly how desperate we want everyone to play. Also Murphy who puts his body on the line every time he plays, so much so injury follows him.
 
Great response given the recent criticisms of them. I don’t wanna hear any more Darcy Moore slander!!! 😝
it was a joy to see Darcy playing like an old fashioned defender. Big defensive punches from behind, right with his man and hitting every contest hard. When Roughy returns (if ever) he can go back to his intercept game.
 
You know we have an interesting coincidence here - many of you have been caning the club for dropping young Ollie last week but it may have done the trick and took his focus off *****g up his goal kicking and focusing on what he needed to do.

I have no set opinion on if he should have been dropped or not but some of you really are firecrackers with your outrage.
Na , the “outrage” was justified. The kid is a natural forward , plays every game , be it kicking 1 goal 4 or 4 goals one. Once he knows and understands his game along with self belief. Lookout
 
We just seem to look a better side when we go with mid sized forwards - Henry, Elliott, WHE, DeGoey - a great mix.

Hopefully Henry has a body that is a tad more durable than the others.
 
Interstate trips to Perth can be daunting, but Collingwood were able to flip the script against Fremantle at Optus Stadium by adapting quicker to the wet conditions, and brought the ferocity, intensity and pressure to overwhelm the Dockers by 36 points. The first quarter was evenly poised, before Collingwood got a decisive break on their opponents to build a comfortable buffer at the main break. The third term saw both sides break even, until the Magpies piled on the goals in the last quarter to conjure a resounding victory by 6 goals. It was great witnessing the pressure and intensity that Collingwood were able to produce, and make greater inroads with fewer disposals in inclement conditions the Magpies were able to exploit against the Dockers.

Collingwood won their statistical categories from sources such as kicks by +9 (228 - 219), clearances were won by +1 (45 - 44), while stoppage clearances were up by +2 (35 - 33). Tackles had a differential of +29 (89 - 60), with Tackles Inside 50 won by +11 (15 - 4). Marks Inside 50 had an advantage of +6 (8 - 2), and Inside 50s were won by +14 (60 - 46). Fremantle won their categories from disposals by +47 (396 - 349), +56 for handballs (177 - 121), hit-outs had a margin of +26 (59 - 33), while centre clearances were won by +1 (11 - 10). Contested possessions had a differential of +23 (175 - 152), +43 for uncontested possessions (213 - 170), while Fremantle won the marks count by +10 (72 - 62), with uncontested marks also won by +10 (60 - 50). Intercept possessions (82 each) and contested marks (12 apiece) were the only neutral categories from a very damp contest.

Patrick Lipinski (29 disposals @ 59%, 280 metres gained, 11 contested possessions, 18 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 14 handballs, 6 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal assist, 3 score involvements, 5 clearances, 5 stoppage clearances, 3 Inside 50s & 2 Rebound 50s) got better as the game went longer by winning contested ball inside the contest, before spreading out to the wings to take his marks. Lipinski was a very solid contributor in tough conditions despite being culpable of some skill errors.

Jack Crisp (27 disposals @ 59%, 480 metres gained, 16 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 16 kicks, 11 handballs, 3 marks, 5 tackles, 4 score involvements, 8 clearances, 3 centre clearances, 5 stoppage clearances, 7 Inside 50s & 1 goal) provided forward territory for his forwards at every opportunity, and displayed his will to win contested ball and contribute heavily on clearance numbers to generate ball movement. Finding targets in wet conditions was very challenging for Crisp and everybody else out there, but Crisp showed desire to compete and give his team the best chance of obtaining supply up forward to score goals.

Steele Sidebottom (23 disposals @ 61%, 410 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 16 kicks, 7 handballs, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 4 score involvements, 2 clearances, 2 stoppage clearances & 5 Inside 50s) gave great drive on the wing by accumulating enough possessions to then have an adequate impact when he won possession to move the ball forward at all costs. Nice to see Sidebottom respond with class after an indifferent period of time where he had previously been struggling to find the level of form he produced against the Dockers in Perth.

Josh Daicos (20 disposals @ 60%, 446 metres gained, 6 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 14 kicks, 6 handballs, 3 marks, 3 tackles, 2 goal assists, 3 score involvements, 6 clearances, 2 centre clearances, 4 stoppage clearances & 7 Inside 50s) mixed his time on the wing with stints in the midfield and performed admirably. Josh Daicos was able to generate forward supply, and set up three goals in the second half to Hoskin-Elliott once and Henry twice to prove he could find targets up forward after having initial difficulties hitting targets up forward early on in the game. The conditions did not allow for perfect footy, so Josh did what he could do to the best of his ability under the circumstances.

Taylor Adams (20 disposals @ 45%, 337 metres gained, 12 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 16 kicks, 4 handballs, 3 marks, 9 tackles, 3 score involvements, 5 clearances, 5 stoppage clearances & 2 Inside 50s) was prepared to get his hands dirty and surge the ball forward at every opportunity when he won possession, while Adams was able to stick his tackles to deny the Dockers continous ball movement from stoppages.

Jordan De Goey (19 disposals @ 58%, 452 metres gained, 14 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 10 kicks, 9 handballs, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 3 score involvements, 7 clearances, 2 centre clearances, 5 stoppage clearances & 5 Inside 50s) won his own ball from clearances, won the contested ball frequently and offered forward supply when he found time and space to execute his possessions.

Tyler Brown (12 disposals @ 75%, 152 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 7 uncontested possessions, 2 hit-outs, 6 kicks, 6 handballs, 2 marks, 6 tackles, 2 clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 3 Inside 50s & 2 Rebound 50s) offered something different to his midfield role by taking the ruck for a handful of minutes in the third term to relieve Darcy Cameron who was the only recognised ruckman after Mason Cox had started the game but was subbed out with an injury to his finger. Brown was also able to provide excellent tackling which he has been doing lately, since he has not demonstrated that he can accumulate effective possessions from the midfield.

Darcy Cameron (12 disposals @ 75%, 195 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 4 intercept possessions, 22 hit-outs, 9 kicks, 3 handballs, 7 marks, 3 contested marks, 8 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 2 score involvements, 2 clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 2 Inside 50s, 2 Rebound 50s & 1 goal) was colossal in the ruck after Mason Cox was subbed out of the game by giving his midfield enough opportunities to win clearances out of the middle at centre bounces and stoppage around the ground. Cameron was able to apply several tackles to follow up his own ruck work to ensure he could play as an extra midfielder.

Nick Daicos (23 disposals @ 74%, 259 metres gained, 6 contested possessions, 17 uncontested possessions, 6 intercept possessions, 13 kicks, 10 handballs, 4 marks, 2 score involvements, 3 clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 2 Inside 50s & 4 Rebound 50s) accumulated his possessions behind the ball and was highly effective with his execution. Nick Daicos was able to find targets or give his team opportunity to compete aerially and create stoppages from his possessions out of defence.

John Noble (18 disposals @ 67%, 364 metres gained, 6 contested possessions, 12 uncontested possessions, 6 intercept possessions, 13 kicks, 5 handballs, 4 marks, 5 tackles, 1 goal assist, 4 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 4 Rebound 50s) gave great run and carry coming out of defence, and demonstrated his will to smother and spoil the ball when it was his turn to go. Noble's ball use came with errors, but there was no denying his competitiveness and dare off the last line of defence to break the lines and create chaos ahead of the ball.

Scott Pendlebury (16 disposals @ 69%, 176 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 9 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 6 kicks, 10 handballs, 9 tackles, 3 clearances & 2 centre clearances) showed control behind the ball and executed his tackles, before being moved into the midfield to win a couple of clearances which generated and maintained momentum.

Isaac Quaynor (13 disposals @ 69%, 191 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 6 intercept possessions, 9 kicks, 4 handballs, 4 tackles, 2 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) created enough run and carry out of defence to contribute to the team's ball movement.

Brayden Maynard (13 disposals @ 69%, 271 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 7 intercept possessions, 12 kicks, 4 tackles, 3 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) acclimatised to the conditions by looking to kick the ball at every opportunity and with a high level of effectiveness, which he was able to provide for his team. Maynard made sure he kicked long or to the team's advantage to maintain possession of the footy.

Jeremy Howe (13 disposals @ 100%, 281 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 8 intercept possessions, 10 kicks, 3 handballs, 3 marks, 2 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) gave great drive off half-back with his kicking game findind targets or reatining possession with a high level of accuracy, and ended up taking a contender for the Mark Of The Year in 2022 during the third term, which would've got every Collingwood fan out of their seats.

Darcy Moore (12 disposals @ 83%, 308 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 8 intercept possessions, 8 kicks, 4 handballs, 4 marks, 2 contested marks, 2 tackles, 2 Inside 50s & 4 Rebound 50s) was impressive with his work in marking contests, and made sure the majority of his possessions were kicked to the team's advantage.

Will Hoskin-Elliott (14 disposals @ 64%, 297 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 8 kicks, 6 handballs, 3 marks, 2 Marks Inside 50, 1 goal assist, 5 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 2 goals) provided a great avenue to goal by accumulating enough possessions up forward to have an impact on the scoreboard.

Jamie Elliott (13 disposals @ 46%, 125 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 9 uncontested possessions, 7 kicks, 6 handballs, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50 & 2 score involvements) worked hard for his possessions up forward and his forward pressure and will to tackle was very good.

Oliver Henry (13 disposals @ 77%, 198 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 9 uncontested possessions, 11 kicks, 2 handballs, 5 marks, 3 Marks Inside 50, 1 goal assist, 6 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 4 goals) burst to life in the second half with 4 second half goals, including 3 in the final term to put the result beyond doubt. Henry replaced Mason Cox during the first half as the medical sub and produced a match-defining performance when his team needed him, and Henry was able to take his chances after being wasteful in his previous game. Henry has set the standard, now he needs to ensure he does not make blues in front of the sticks against the Blues next week.

Jack Ginnivan (12 disposals @ 50%, 357 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 11 kicks, 2 marks, 3 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 5 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 2 goals) was very lively up forward by putting pressure on and drawing head-high free kicks. Ginnivan hit the post twice so he could easily have kicked 4 goals on another day, which will hopefully occur next week. I was amazed at Ginnivan celebrating prematurely to the Dockers cheer squad in the final quarter before booting his second goal into the top tier and let them know all about it after he completed the play to put the icing on the cake.

Brody Mihocek (6 disposals @ 83%, 3 contested possessions, 3 uncontested possessions, 5 kicks, 6 tackles, 4 Tackles Inside 50, 2 score involvements & 2 goals) set up his game with two goals from close range in the first half to give his team impetus and progress to the eventual result.

Collingwood's next game will be against Carlton on May 29 at the MCG. This game will be hotly contested and the Magpies will need to produce the same intensity and pressure at the contest to overcome the Blues. Taking chances in front of goal will ultimately determine the result of this contest.

That’s the way football is played across the country. Players like Ginivan are targeted. He’s painted a target on his back, I wouldn’t have permitted that as coach…it’s his issue to deal with now
 
I was so happy to have Jamie back, have I ever posted on our board how much I love him?;)

Yep have always loved since he first came to our club.

Think we are a different team when he plays.

In no universe should JDG be earning more than Jamie and we should be acknowledging Elliott as a key on-field leader.

Had to watch a replay of the game because I was working.

The team's performance this week will silence the doomsday merchants that have bemoaned the list's lack of quality and have predicted years in the wilderness for Collingwood; at least until the next loss. :)
