Game Day Round 12 - Melbourne v Collingwood, Monday 11 June, 3.20pm, MCG

[rhaz]

2 weeks to sit on this while the media no doubt lays in.

Bad timing for a loss. Ugh. I was enjoying watching football and having fun.

Having had my whinge some of the reactions here are hilarious, we have been up for a while and make no mistake about, Collingwood are a quality side this year.

 

[schmuttt]

His kicking has no penetration. He’s a warrior in the middle but he doesn’t cut teams up.

Has a lot more pace than Priddis ever did, and lets not pretend Priddis was a hack. B+ is probably his ceiling and I'm fine with that.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

I don't want to see Pederson play in the seniors again hes done. Poor selection really. Need run against the Pies, not big lumbering forwards. Our captains have been really poor too. In a game that I'm sure the whole club pencilled in for revenge, besides TMac, Nev and Oliver, the whole team including the coach have been really poor. Let down again by this mob when it matters most..

Pedo knocked himself out last week. He should never have been selected. And hindsight shows we should have gone in with a much quicker side.

Pretty much. I mean whilst this is super frustrating to lose on our biggest day of the year (So far...) it isn't like we're playing the Pies u23 team they sent out against us in round 23 last year.

 

[Sellout Scully]

I feel like we are going to be spending the rest of the season trying to find alternatives to Lever

 

[Deemanding]

Boundary umpire throws it sideways - Trace tries to get out of the way - free kick Collingwood. Awful awful decisions.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Cox surely qualifies for the Kingsley

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Geez Trac needs to lift also, nothing but very ordinary this season.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

Cox surely qualifies for the Kingsley

He is becoming Ben Brown mkII. Not a spud.

 

[mrmonkey]

I'm sure only last week they said his range was less than 50. Now cox can manage over 50 with ease.

In: Tyson

Can't get smashed in the clearances like that 2 weeks in a row without someone paying the price.

That's life.

If it means we fast track a backup defender for the future then that's the best we can make of it.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Hannan another who has been shocking today with fumbles and terrible decision making. Jeffy welcome back.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

Pies have been tougher than us today which I did not expect at all. We should have put some real hurt on the Pies at some point today but it hasn’t happened once.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Cox surely qualifies for the Kingsley

Didn't he carve us up late last year too? Should be already in there.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Cant count how many times today we've had three guys sucked to the one contest only to be beaten by the one Collingwood player cause no one can hold a tackle.

I'd drop Viney tbh. Mids look a bit lost since he's come back.

 

[Deemanding]

Our players look so cooked. Lost the clearances so badly that we've been chasing tail all day.

 

[RandB]

Handballing skill and decisions has been terrible today.

Would have preferred a lot more hotspot kicking today rather than turnover goals but fatigue affects decision making too.

This is getting embarrassing now. They just have to go as hard as they can for the next 10 minutes at the contest and take some marks and get some control.

 

[Topkent]

Christ, some of you blokes are pathetic. It’s half-time and a three goal margin, calm down. The best sides win when they’re faced by adversity. We’ll come out on top in the end

The best clearly won.

 

[mrmonkey]

Our players look so cooked. Lost the clearances so badly that we've been chasing tail all day.

That's the problem catch 22. We need goals but then we get smashed out centre.

 

[Deemanding]

Getting some squares up now that the game is over. Only interest left is if Jesse can kick a goal...streak is at risk.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Never love anything

 

[DemonZombie_001]

They got a bargain for the price the team retained T.McDonald for.
