Toast Round 15 = Collingwood 82-80 Adelaide

[CaptainHowdy87]

Elliott was blowing hard in the first quarter, so no surprise he faded as the game progressed. Still plenty of time left for that to change though

I said to the old boy late in the first qtr that Elliot looks bolloxed already. He took a while to recover from some pretty standard bumps and tackles. He didn't look ready to return to me. Hopefully he's feeling alright next game.

He's got runs on the board, but he'd wanna start extracting the digit pretty soon. He hasn't played a good game yet this year. He's either missing everything or just not getting involved enough.

Occasionally he does a great chase down and tackle, but so did Callum Brown. Small forwards still need to hit the scoreboard and young Jamie isn't doing much of that. I was having a go at Ollie Henry on the main board a few rounds ago for getting on the end of a lot of cheapies until a Cats supporter reminded me he's kicked more goals than Elliot, AJ and McStay combined this year.

He's been shown a hell of a lot of patience this year, yet just 2 quiet games from Ginnipig and everyone wanted him out of the side.

Even if Bucks was being biased (he wasn't) he at-least provided some balance to the commentary from the flat-out barracking from Lyon and Huddo for the Crows in the 2nd half.

*n drives me insane absolute dickheads accusing Bucks of being biased when all the other cheer leading commentators openly barrack against us. Bucks has his fair crack at Collingwood when needed as highlighted by the Buddy booing episode

Henry hasn’t kicked more goals than Elliot, AJ and McStay combined- I hope you didn’t fall for that BS

Lyons exact words were "come on Adelaide" in the dying last minute or two.
Biased commentary is unprofessional and needs to be stamped out.

My favourites are, Leigh Mathews, Richo, Whateley and even Tony Shaw.

Whateley is without peer. When we beat the Cats in round 1 he was smiling in the comm box near the end of the game at some of the stuff we were doing. As a Cats man. Add to this his commentary and its mind numbingly stupid hes not calling on TV for Fox.

The work that Elliot does off the ball needs to be acknowledged.
His ability to block for others or drag the opponents away from where the ball is going is unparalleled.
I see it, Fly sees it, his teammates see it.

Izak Rankine threw the ball that resulted in the Taylor Walker goal. Any word on that one?

Of Course Not - They have to be Negative to Collingwood

Just watched the replay of the 3rd quarter. It wasnt actually as bad as the scoreline suggests. We missed some very gettable opportunities, they kicked a few long bombs from outside of 50, they changed up their method a bit, and we were just a little bit off their intensity. All those things come together at once so it led to a big run of goals. But really we could have been 4 and 4 for the quarter. We were always going to steady a bit. It didnt seem like they had us on toast as much as commentators are suggesting.

Not bothered at all by whining over umpiring. Nice karma after what went down at their ground.

Whateley not commentating on Fox must be his own decision, surely. Not like they're spoilt for options.

Huddo is usually ok, but every now and then he seems to go that bit harder for Geelong. Definitely noticed that in the game v Melbourne. Was desperate for the Cats to win.

 

[unplugged]

I hope Whately's commentary begins being overlaid on Fox Footy when they soon (next year?) have their own commentary even for Channel 7 games.

At least I think that's happening...

Yep. If the crows Nail one fewer low percentage long bombs, and crisp and Cameron convert absolute sitters, the 7-0 quarter becomes 6-2 and we are still leading at 3/4 time.

Lipinski and Howe still rusty, mccreery on the sub bench….and jdg and Sidey yet to return. No great concerns given we dominated most of the other three quarters.

I watched the second half on replay last night and then slept like a baby. Beautiful Pies.

Nah, his pressure was excellent, I can remember at least three tackles inside 50 and I bet there were more. And he hit the scoreboard with two goals and gave off another. Good return.

Yep. And he whacked Dawson in the gob.

Jamie is our number one pressure forward. This is why he's there.
Clutch goals help his cause as well.

Could have had a huge day out, but 3 scoring shots from a medium/small forward is good. Especially alongside the marks and pressure he applies.

Seriously don’t know what people expect some times.

At least one score assist with the Bobby Hill goal. And the mark and goal of his both had high difficulty factors.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

[OniAu]

Surprised Bucks even replied to that nuff nuff

Ling essentially climaxes when he watches Geelong
Lynch/Brown/Hodge blatant barracking as it comes
Jude Bolton is disgusting.

Im sure ive missed a lot . But Bucks is far from one eyed. Wouldve thought itd be hard commentaiting your old team you use to coach

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Yep. And he whacked Dawson in the gob.

And at lightning pace such that he got away with it because nobody saw it.

I'm just reading the game day thread on the main board just after the siren went and oh boy there is mountains of salt in that thread it is glorious. It reminds me why I never post on any other board now, so much toxicity and cbf dealing with that s**t.
