Don’t know if it has been mentioned, but yesterday smashed the record for the biggest H&A crowd Freo have ever played in front of (61K v previous record 58K)
If our boys didn't do it yesterday, they will clock up 1 million people at H&A games in 2023 next week.

Mcstay seems to straighten us up. Really releases Johnson and Elliot.

There's a few very good players in our forward line but not one single key you can knock-out to stop us.

It's a very Collingwood looking side, lots of even lines despite the star quality of the individuals.
I know it's easy to enjoy knocking off a non finals side but the system looked great.

That's pretty much the reason McStay was recruited, so his stats won't necessarily reflect his worth to the team.
It was noticeable that our f50 entries were deeper and to dangerous spots, which would have contributed to our goal kicking accuracy.
 
A blitzkrieg second term from Collingwood was enough to overwhelm Fremantle by 46 points. After an even opening quarter, the Magpies booted 10 goals in the second quarter to put the contest to bed at half time. The second half was lacklustre, scrappy and challenging where very few goals were kicked and the intensity dropped off drastically without impacting the margin and outcome of the contest.

Collingwood's statistical categories were won from disposals by +42 (369 - 327), +32 for kicks (207 - 175), handballs were won by +10 (162 - 152), while contested possessions had a margin of +1 (135 - 134), uncontested possessions were up by +22 (222 - 200), turnovers were down by -6 (52 - 58), and intercept possessions had a differential of +6 (58 - 52). Centre clearances were claimed by +3 (16 - 13), tackles had an advantage of +1 (80 - 79), Tackles Inside 50 had a margin of +4 ( 12 - 8 ), +31 for marks (96 - 65), uncontested marks had a gap of +20 (80 - 60), contested marks were won by +11 (16 - 5), intercept marks were up by +6 (58 - 52) Marks Inside 50 had a positive reading of +3 (15 - 12), and Inside 50s had a differential of +18 (53 - 35). Fremantle gained their advantages through hit-outs by +9 (51 - 42), clearances were won by +6 (46 - 40), and stoppage clearances had a margin of +9 (33 - 24).

Nick Daicos (36 disposals @ 67%, 568 metres gained, 11 contested possessions, 25 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 18 kicks, 18 handballs, 5 marks, 4 tackles, 2 goal assists, 11 score involvements, 7 clearances, 2 centre clearances, 5 stoppage clearances, 7 Inside 50s & 1 goal) had another exceptional game through the midfield by creating play and scoring opportunities, while drawing opponents towards him to release handpasses into open space for his teammates. Nick also drifted forward to get dangerous on the scoreboard.

Josh Daicos (31 disposals @ 74%, 463 metres gained, 12 contested possessions, 19 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 1 goal assist, 5 score involvements, 7 clearances, 7 stoppage clearances, 5 Inside 50s & 1 goal) accumulated quality possessions on the wing, while winning several clearances from stoppages to produce territory.

Jordan De Goey (26 disposals @ 81%, 297 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 17 uncontested possessions, 13 kicks, 13 handballs, 8 marks, 2 tackles, 1 goal assist, 6 score involvements, 4 clearances, 4 centre clearances & 4 Inside 50s) had an impressive 150th game where he won his own ball from clearances in the middle, and his ball use in general play was effective and damaging whenever he created scores for his team.

Jack Crisp (25 disposals @ 72%, 438 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 18 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 13 kicks, 12 handballs, 4 marks, 6 tackles, 1 goal assist, 7 score involvements, 3 clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 5 Inside 50s & 1 goal) thrived on his return to the midfield by using the ball well, tackling hard and effectively, and remaining busy in scoring chains.

Taylor Adams (23 disposals @ 65%, 367 metres gained, 12 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 13 kicks, 10 handballs, 7 marks, 3 Marks Inside 50, 9 tackles, 2 goal assists, 8 score involvements, 7 clearances, 4 centre clearances, 3 stoppage clearances, 4 Inside 50s & 2 goals) impacted the game up forward and in the midfield in the first half with two goals and 16 disposals, before drifting out of the game in the second half. Adams was able to demonstrate his strengths of yesteryear where he would win the contested ball, tackle with intent, and win crucial clearances to assist Jordan De Goey and Nick Daicos.

Mason Cox (8 disposals @ 50%, 101 metres gained, 32 hit-outs, 8 contested possessions, 6 kicks, 2 handballs, 5 marks, 4 contested marks, 7 score involvements & 1 goal) gave his midfield first-use as often as possible, while impacting marking contests and the scoreboard throughout the contest.

Isaac Quaynor (22 disposals @ 77%, 440 metres gained, 6 contested possessions, 16 uncontested possessions, 8 intercept possessions, 13 kicks, 9 handballs, 5 marks, 2 contested marks, 2 tackles, 1 goal assist, 3 score involvements, 5 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) generated significant rebound rolling up towards attack from defence and trusted his aerial judgement of marks behind the ball when the team was under siege and pressure.

John Noble (20 disposals @ 70%, 270 metres gained, 2 contested possessions, 18 uncontested possessions, 11 kicks, 9 handballs, 8 marks, 2 tackles & 3 Rebound 50s) made himself a conduit to take marks from short kicks, before linking up by hand with handballs to get the ball moving or kicking it to a contest when there was nothing on short for the lead-up kick.

Brayden Maynard (20 disposals @ 75%, 446 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 16 uncontested possessions, 4 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 5 handballs, 6 marks, 8 tackles, 6 score involvements & 3 Inside 50s) was tremendous in defence with his booming left foot on display countless times where he rolled up forward, while taking crucial marks and making a significant impact with his tackling and his pressure.

Darcy Moore (19 disposals @ 90%, 268 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 10 uncontested possessions, 11 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 4 handballs, 8 marks, 4 contested marks, 5 score involvements & 3 Rebound 50s) was the human brickwall in the opening term where nothing got or went past him with several telling marks to save goals and his ball use coming out of defence was exquisite and highly accurate.

Jeremy Howe (17 disposals @ 76%, 230 metres gained, 17 uncontsted possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 12 kicks, 5 handballs, 6 marks, 3 tackles, 4 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) held his marks and was largely effective with his disposal efficiency on transtion plays from defence.

Oleg Markov (15 disposals @ 87%, 354 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 10 uncontested possessions, 4 intercept possessions, 9 kicks, 6 handballs, 6 marks, 1 goal assist, 4 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) broke several lines from defence after taking marks and kept persisting with those tactics throughout the game, and helped the team score from his efforts of boldness and bravery to play on and take the game on.

Jamie Elliott (10 disposals @ 90%, 6 contested possessions, 4 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 5 kicks, 5 handballs, 4 marks, 3 Marks Inside 50, 2 goal assists, 7 score involvements & 4 goals) continued his rich vein of form with an impressive display up forward where he made the most of his chances and knew where to take his marks inside 50.

Daniel McStay (7 disposals @ 43%, 147 metres gained, 2 hit-outs, 2 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 6 kicks, 4 marks, 2 Marks Inside 50, 4 tackles, 3 Tackles Inside 50, 4 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 2 goals) had an impact in the second quarter where he took a couple of marks and converted his opportunities in the all-important second term.

Ash Johnson (7 disposals @ 57%, 137 metres gained, 2 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 6 kicks, 3 marks, 3 Marks Inside 50, 1 goal assist, 4 score involvements & 3 goals) maintained his good run up forward by making all of opportunities and chances count on the scoreboard.

Collingwood's next game will be against Port Adelaide on July 22 at the Adelaide Oval. Huge interstate trip for the Magpies against the Power as a victory over Port will see the Pies go two games clear on top of the ladder. The impending returns of Darcy Cameron & Brody Mihocek will go a long way to enabling the Woods to get over the line and make a statement.

Just some lying random nobody trying to stir the pot. There were no boos at the ground
They Bronx cheered the cart coming out for Walker because it took ages. My kids were there and said it was nothing to do with the injury.
 
I was up the opposite end to Walker’s injury, not far from where the Freo cheersquad were camped out but everyone was respectful and clapped the injured player in a show of support. Heard nothing resembling dissent from the crowd, let alone outright booing.
 
Just some neckbeard feeling emasculated because his nothing team was getting soundly beaten. Took it to twitter like all screeching little Karen's do.
 
I was sat right in front of Walker's injury in AFL members.

There was a small amount of jeers when the cart came out after the prolonged pause in play that appeared to come from over at the Ponsford and some perhaps from the standing room behind us, but the crowd around us reacted a bit like 'WTF?' to it.

There was a standing ovation from everyone around as he was stretchered off.

Everyone clapped out of respect as you do when a player goes off injured like that.

I didn’t hear any booing.

My kids asked “why’s everyone clapping when he’s injured?”

I said it was as a show of respect for someone, who was injured trying their best for their teammates and supporters.
