VFL Round 3 - Collingwood vs Essendon at Victoria Park (Pies WON 106-78! Replay links in OP! #DonsIrked)

[CFC2010]

But my advise to the posters taking the bait, don't. It's got nothing to do with Oxley or any other player, it's usually all about the posters self indulgence.

Well said Pancit

Glad you brought up ‘Carlton troll’ ...

Steve Austin’s body is the way to go

He was something else in his hey day.

But ofcourse nobody but nobody was greater than The Man.

CFC is more than willing to come to the defence, quite strongly too, of our players.

When he makes an exception, and it is an exception, there is a very good reason.

In the case of Oxley, I agree with him 100%.

I probably snarked a bit, but can there be a bit more perspective on our players. Ok, Oxley hasn't developed how we likes. He has weaknesses. But not everything is so black and white.

Tyler Brown is the skinniest footballer of all time.

Wouldn't look out of place in a POW camp.

His Dad was the same.

That's a nasty differential on the clearances, 29 to 49 in their favour. I reckon we won all of 2-3 centre clearances. Despite the size of Sier and Wills, they have some work to do in translating that physical presence into clearances.

And behind him the late great Bobby Heenan.

Nobody could work the mike like Ric Flair.

Also he made wrestling look “real” in his art form.

Especially since they let sponsors logos go on the jumpers in other colours

Is that a young Vince McMahon on the other side?

Not quite sure, I’m not thinking so, doesn’t quite look like him.
But was a while back.

Then why did we win quiet Easily in the End while getting Smashed in the Clearances?

Better ball movement around the ground more generally, and we had a reasonably effective forward line compared to Essendon.

We did well with the umps as well!

Edit: I suppose the point to make is that the statistics don't always reflect the flow of the game. However, losing the clearances like that against some other teams (e.g. Richmond) will more likely result in a belting.

I wouldn't blame Sier and Wills entirely. Check out the differential in hitouts. Lynch took some nice marks around the ground, but he got murdered in the ruck by Leuenberger. Look fair play to the kid, he is improving, he looked utterly lost this time last year, but his ruck work has a long long way to go. He really needs to work on his leap.

No doubt the hit-outs made it tougher for the mids, but a lot of those weren't necessarily to Essendon's advantage and in any case there's a need to read the opposition ruckman better than we did.

But I think you're right that the mids shouldn't get all the blame, because they certainly weren't given good service by Lynch or McLarty. I thought that Lynch worked into the game well enough around the ground, but his timing in ruck contests is horrible at the moment. Hopefully it improves.

I think we played our best when McLarty was in the Ruck and Lynch was Forward
