Toast Round 9 = Collingwood 103-37 West Coast

[PonsfordMagpie]

We’re in the 8! A very relaxing affair with the win being set up in the first half.

The highlight of the day was Joe Richards, particularly in the first half. Fantastic debut performance and deserves to be retained for next week’s match. Looks like we’ve found a good player there.

Only sour note of the day is a few injuries (Harrison, Howe and Bytel). Hopefully it’s a speedy recovery for all three players.

Good win. With a full bench we win that by 100+ but fair enough with no bench and a 6 day break going into Adelaide next week.

Great games by Macrae, Richards and McInnes considering they were our biggest concerns going in.

OTTNO

 

[Soaring Magpie]

For all the worry of injuries, light work for the boys.
Well played, we are starting to roll towards being a threat again!

 

[SwanDaneFan1991]

What a last quarter!

 

[TW Sherrin]

Enjoyable game watching Sullivan, Reefe, Finn and Richards look like senior players.

 

[pie chucker]

Great solid win. 2 debutants, a second gamer and so many injuries. Naicos and Crisp best on ground but so many other contributors.

We tired towards the end which was expected considering we had to use the sub so early and so many players injured during the game.

And this was a danger game

Glad we didn't let them get many junk time goals at the end. Nice percentage boost.

All I wanted out of this game was the 4 points and no more injuries. At least we ticked 1/2.

Very pleased really with a good win- was fully expecting this to be a total sh*tfest with our outs.

Fantastic to see Macrae, Richards and Sullivan looking comfortable at the level. Particularly stoked with Richards!

Nice not to have a heart attack for once at the end.

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

Glad we don't play often on that rubbish, greasy surface


Seeing Naicos slip at the end wasn't good - seems fine though

 

[Bungeye]

I will begrudgingly take a 10 goal win, even if I was hoping for a famous one goal win.

I hope we lick our wounds and give a better showing next time!

 

[jmac70]

Fantastic win.
All the big guns fired.
Great to see Steele back in form.

Joe Richards had one of the best first halves as a half forward that I can remember, let alone on debut

Is it too harsh to be a bit disappointed we didn’t put them to the sword a bit more?
We had so much of the play I thought we should have won by 100+.

Mate, we had one in the bench. The boys were buggered.

Yes it's to harsh.

 

[Soups]

Be happy all. That was a good win for the boys under the conditions.

Richards was a joy to watch, proving a lot of doubters wrong.

Said in post match interview his calves were cramping.

I think the lack of rotations in the second half contributed to that, solid win and we move on to Adelaide.

At least all the nervous nellies can STFU.

Nice win. Go pies

 

[HFF]

fantastic to see some new faces being given responsibility
Richards
Reef
Macrae
Sullivan
All very good.

Crisp is back with his explosiveness
Sidebottom off half back is a very nice move by Fly. He looks energised and hungry again.

Naicos and Pendles superb with Cameron ruck work

I was a nervous nelly. Happy to be wrong. Smashed them in the middle.
