Toast Round 3 = Collingwood 81-37 St Kilda

[The Royal Sampler]

Our intensity has been at 100% every minute of every game. We are having fluctuations in games in terms of scoring, but defensively there has been no let up.

The second half against the Saints was like park footy. I agree with most of what you’ve said, and yes our defence continued to be stingy, but we’ve come nowhere close to putting four quarters together yet.

I seriously doubt there is any intention of putting four quarters together during the season.
Get in a winning position as early as possible and coast as long as safe.
Injuries in a season where players can't return through the VFL are incredibly damaging to the side.
Preservation mode during the season then let it rip in the big dance.

The only time I’ve had this thought is with 2 minutes to go in the 2010 replay

You went early, very brave.
