Toast Round 13 = Melbourne 71-72 Collingwood

[TradeDraft]

Take the points and the week off.

Very poor performance from our tall forwards in the air as a wholes
Failed to bring the ball to ground on too many occasions thus making our small forwards non existent.

Also felt Melbourne outworked us for most of the day by clogging up our F50 and then the ease of winning the intercept marks back had so many 1v1s to slingshot into their forward 50.

We need to be careful playing this way as it was very reminiscent of the Geelong game where we didn’t really look to attack much in the last qtr and just absorb pressure —and absorbing too much pressure willingly is never a good sign.

11th win though is nice and a win for Bobby’s milestone
Bank the wins and reset for the second half of the season

We sure look like a Team that needs a Bye Badly

 

[BigVic]

Another close Collingwood win this time on King's Birthday

Heart-attack material the last minutes of the last quarter.

Thankfully we have the bye

How I feel about the win:

 

[carndapies]

I wonder if they had an internal competition to see how many times we could kick it to one of Gawn, May, Lever or Turner

And still win, we are just playing with our food now

 

[kalex6251]

IQ has put a few good games together now

 

[GreekLunatic]

Gawn should have clocked May on the head Gawn is a star may not

r*ped Him but Scumps let majority go as Usual

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

How I feel about the win:

yeah it was very scrappy

 

[ThePhantom777]

We played the last 5 minutes better.

I have may have asked for Moore to be stripped of the captaincy in the match thread...I'm not deleting it

 

[TradeDraft]

IQ has put a few good games together now

Houston also had a Good Game today

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

Gawn should have clocked May on the head Gawn is a star may not

May is a flog but he is probably still a top 5 full-back even at 33

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

IQ brilliant

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Lucky win. Melbourne squandered chances, we were smart enough to exploit them.

Imagine having a matchwinner like May undoing his great footy with unsportsmanlike crap like bagging his own captain.

You wonder why Trak wants out.
Don’t blame him.
May should play mixed doubles with Sabalenka..
Another sore loser.

 

[jathanas]

May is a shit bloke.

, another pin point pass into the 50 while playing good defence. Important smother/deflection in the last quarter stopping a Melbourne surge towards the goal.

 

[YouBeauty]

Dwayne Russel 10 times on the coverage "Melbourne could be 10th if they win" jfc

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Melbourne are a good team. But they have no team spirit and hate each other’s guts and that’s why they are where they are on the ladder.

Are they going to Entricote tonight?

Thought we might have been on the right side of some umpiring decisions but the few I saw were legit and just dumb football by the Dees, especially the two 50 minute penalties . Even the in the back against Langdon was there, despite idiots like Dunstall not know the rules or understanding how physics works.

Great games by Howe QuAynor Long Frampton and josh

the closest he’ll ever get to greatness

 

[Ludovico]

May is a shit bloke.

Hes one of those that you would hate to have on your team. Just a deadset prima donna flog of the highest order.

Might be time to put in a complaint to the AFL. It's becoming a joke.
