Review Round 4 2021 - Collingwood Magpies vs GWS Giants, 7:25 PM MCG, Saturday April 10

[Gigantic]

Well done Finlayson! (Is he now Jeremy, Jezza or still ToJ?)

Jezza

ToJ is surely now The Only Jezza

 

[Gigantic]

Seems it's the younger players have put their hand up to play so far - Taylor, Daniels, Ash, Bobby

The experienced players either fumbling or gone missing.

 

[Orange Agent]

Haynes is not a wing, can't kick to fwd's. He's an AA level intercept marking half back. Tom Green

and Hopper have clearly been instructed to slow it down everytime they mark it and it is killing our fwd's. Dorsal, Harry and Riccardi, just get it to them quickly and in front and we are serious chance here.

Yep, 100%.

Really impressed with Ash. He’s quick and has terrific skills, but his gut running and contested stuff is miles better than I expected. Not exaggerating I say he’s in the AA squad at this rate.

Daniels looking great, just love him on ball and having the license to run rather than just be confined to the pocket.

Stone has made some blues and shown his inexperience but I like what I see. Is XOH okay after coping a bit of a knock? Because although he doesn’t have a lot of the ball, he is so classy. I have a great feeling about his future.

Haynes’ forward entries have been diabolical.

Finlayson has competed really well so far, giving the mids an option. Love Riccardi’s overhead marking, so clean.

Two hack kicks in a row from XOH. You’re better than that son, you have time. Use your strength and agility to get free.

 

[Callums_Guns]

Buntine on DeGoey is an absolute joke

 

[Orange Agent]

Globetrotters. Where has he been?

 

[Callums_Guns]

Globetrotters. Where has he been?

Brilliant forward pressure

 

[Drummond]

Maybe Hill got a quiet roast last week, because he needed to be much better. To his credit he’s responded so far with a great effort, his defensive work has been first rate.

 

[Gigantic]

Bobby Hill, take a bow

 

[Big Stinky Monk]

Breakout game for Bobby Hill in progress

 

[Drummond]

Bomb it forward, bomb it forward, rinse and repeat. Dumb stuff.

 

[Callums_Guns]

Cogs out has worked out well to get XOH into the team

 

[Teeso]

Both cumming and ash can lower their eyes and hit targets, not sure why they just keep bombing it in to the same spot. None of our forwards really lead into space. We barely ever get uncontested marks leading to goals in our forward 50 at good angles. We are always depending on kicking to a pack and hoping for a contested mark. We might get a lucky goal here and there, but we will never win regular games with a good flow of goals with the current game plan.

 

[Drummond]

Deliberate?? He had Buckley right there. Ridiculous.

I think that's the answer right there. All 3 forwards running in the same direction and same patterns, none of them leading.

 

[Giant Strides]

Yep, umps trying to hand this to Pies. A missed handpass is not a free kick!

 

[Teeso]

On cue, a lead by finlayson with a relatively uncontested mark - at least gives us a chance to kick a goal with minimum injury carnage. I think contested ball is important but Leon's sole emphasis on this as a model to winning has made us play almost rugby-like at times, less emphasis on skill and vision, hard for appropriate injury prevention techniques to be implemented and subsequently increased injuries.

 

[Big Stinky Monk]

Another easy mark and goal from Buntine's man ... We desperately need Pez back!!

 

[Teeso]

Bunts continuing to do bunt-like things haha

 

[sydney_gws]

We are playing well, thank God they missed set shot after half time siren

 

[Callums_Guns]

1 player is letting us down and only 1

 

[Giant Gutsache]

Bunts continuing to do bunt-like things haha

The poor guy isn’t AFL standard.

 

[JC100]

The sooner there is no spot in the team for Buntine the better. No Footy smarts or game awareness.

 

[Simmofreo]

I can’t tell if I have had too much to drink or if we have a different team out there
