Toast Round 20 = Collingwood 90-45 West Coast

[PonsfordMagpie]

Great first half set up the win.

Pretty certain we’ll avoid the spoon which is good news.

Great game. Enjoying taking the game on. This is fresh air how we are playing. Going to take time to adjust. Good signs in all the kids. Welcome back howey!

WCE simply didn't show up.

Good win though!

 

[Soaring Magpie]

I think we’ll be ok!!

 

[parano1a]

Great win. The senior players really stood up today. Sidebottom, Grundy, Maynard, De Goey, Roughead, Howe were all solid.

 

[Moore of the Same]

Gee that was impressive wasn't it. I won't buy into the "West Coast" were sh*t narrative. We kicked the crap out of them. Would've been 80+ if we weren't running around with a bunch of fatiguing kids.

Ruscoe, Fin, Ollie, Bianco (minus the field kicking) all super impressive. Great effort in the first half from the big Grundog and Sidebottom in particular. Adams a proper warrior. Crisp, Maynard, Howe, Roughead solid as a rock.

I mentioned it in the gameday thread, DeGoey is a different footballer to me. Working so hard, getting to every contest, involved in every possession chain. I thought he had it in him, but the difference between his first and second halves of the season is night and day. You couldn't let him leave based on the last 6 weeks.

To a degree yes but they are a sh@t defensive team and we applied fast and direct attacks right through the guts time after time.

Great first half, tapered off a bit in the second.

VFL watchers saw it a few weeks ago but Ruscoe's been great since moving back. Good positioning, offers an outlet target and has good attacking disposal.

They did slow down.. couple more pre seasons in these young lads.. and we're going places.. loving it.

Enjoyable to watch.

Well done lads.

 

[Soups]

How good has Ruscoe been?

 

[The Young Chevalier]

Is Ruscoe eligible for a rising star nom?

 

[Capital Magpie]

I LOVE THIS CLUB!!❤❤❤

 

[Maggie5]

Well done to the boys. Love Jamie.

 

[jonmacTrag]

Ruscoe is . . . unbelievably a key component in our corridor springboards
Great attacking kicks.

 

[jimmy35]

That was a very very enjoyable afternoon watch. Some awesome footy by the boys early and love seeing what the kids are showing and Gooey becoming the midfielder we need him to be.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Great team win. No passengers.

Moore, Maynard, Howe, Crisp, Roughy, IQ and Ruscoe is a nice solid mix of quality.

Great win.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

A nice 45 point loss for the 45 yr old milestone gamer Hurn.

 

[whiskeytown]

That’s now two orgasms for today...

 

[Maggie5]

Bring on 2022!

 

[Spuddd]

I was wrong.

Ollie and Fin are gonna be alright, more than alright

Bianco is tired, but will be a star.

Ruscoe could end up being one of our most important down back in the years to come.

Poulter and McCreery willslot straight in next year.

trading that first round pick to get all of these kids - looking better and better as the year goes on.

Im sorry, I was wrong

What the heck is up with Ruscoe? He covers the ground, loves a tackle, spoils when required and kicks to his team mates.
What’s going on ??

Finally played in a position on the ground he feels comfortable and confident in.
