Roast Same Old Collingwood

[orion21]

When the pressure is on, we really go missing as a team. Cannot kick straight for goal. Cloke has to come a long way up the ground and therefore we have no forward marking options in forward 50. Quick ball movement really shows us up. As good as our backline is, we cannot play one on one. Exposed way to many time in the last two years.

 

[Blur]

Same formula: We get it slowly out of the oppositions backline - Cloke marks at the center of the ground and bombs it into our 50, in which it rebounds back out. Dawes was a disgrace tonight and provided nothing for the team in the role he should be playing to help Cloke out.

Yay!! here come the negative threads

Yay!! here come the negative threads

or an honest assesment of a team I follow week in week out for 35 years.........we arnt shot by anymeans, but same conclusions when in big games in the last two years. Look at last years gf. Same as tonight. There are some flaws in our game plan that need tinkering with........

I'm not one for negativity either UL but that was easily one of the most insipid performances from a so called elite clearance team I have ever seen. Its hard not to be furious.

Coaching was awful to let Yarran and Judd run around on their own all night was piss poor.

No mention of the Cloke sitter he missed. We had the momentum and he killed it.

I did not enjoy watching that game...

Bring on the cats

 

[JOELY]

it's funny, on just about every team board after a bad loss you see someone bemoaning "same old ______"

 

[theroach78]

Wow...one loss in three months and it's 'same old collingwood'. Wow.

Do you mean like the pressure in the Hawthorn Pre-lim last year or the Adelaide game earlier this year or the recent West Coast game?
Is that the pressure you're talking about?

I would be furious if we backed up this performance with another shit performance. But considering we have won 10 in a row, its fair to say that its alright if we have an off night(different scenario in finals). Just saying that give them a chance to to prove that this was just a one off, and if that is not the case be my guest and sink your boots in as much as you like.

And to all the other collingwood supporters, I know we are emotional after such a loss, but consider how hard our team has fought after the crippling injuries we have had. I mean just a few weeks ago we were praising the team for the Adelaide win, just hold strong because these type of losses happen.

 

[jimmy35]

We looked like shit, you're going to get that sometimes. Not many teams are going to get more than 10 wins in a row, just wont happen.

The prelim final pressure was a good win. crows game and eagles game we were in control for majority of game, but still fell down 1 on 1, and didnt kick goals when we should have. Quick ball movement killed us in all those games mentioned. And like last year, all three games against geelong. Carlton did exact game plan as tonight. Small forward line so we have to go 1 on 1. Quick ball movement to expose us 1 on 1. Forwards getting sucked up to centre wing like cloke did again tonight. And when we have a chance to kick easy goals, cloke and others miss them. Just like last year. Nothing has changed to fix these problems. We have 8 games to get better at these things or it will be missery again, as sides know how to play us.

if same old collingwood means we will win the next 10 im cool with that

 

[dubber]

This thread is embarrassing; supporters who start shitting their pants when going gets tough are embarrassing; the negativity on this board is embarrassing; not giving opposition the respect and credit they deserve is embarrassing

 

[theroach78]

Just adding the 'Is it too late to get Mick back?' quote, too.

 

[Axl the great]

Fact, great season so far no doubting that.

Fact 2) Tonight we were outplayed at our own game, not hungry enough, kids did not give a whimper, pressure pathetic, spread was lazy, Jolly plays 1 good game in 4, outcoached again against Ratten, fast teams worry us, we lack a good small forward, and most worrying, Harry O is as pathetic a one on one defender as i have seen in 30 odd years of watching the game.

Overall we are still good, we will rebound and be a force in September but jeez its hard to be positive tonight after watching that shit we dished up!

 

[magpielicious]

I don't care about the past 10 wins, the plain truth is we dropped our pants, bent over, puckered up and took it up the A....
Our history is littered with these types of loses to the scum !!!!

Opinions are not embarrasing, it is not a negitive thread, and I am not shitting my pants. Open your eyes and see what has happened in the last two years with our losses. We have had a couple wins playing like this and got away with it. All our losses are from the same problems.....

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Carlton beat us whenever it suits them. That gets ****ing old.

As far as the season goes it's only really problematic because our percentage is average.

Hey hey hey. Things change week to week. You cannot say "same old". Dont remember going missing in the prelim vs hawks. Or the match vs the eagles a few weeks ago. My point is things change. You cant label us as team that continuously does that.Hey, look at a ratten. A few hours ago he was a dead man walking. Now he is being labelled a hero.

 

[Iskender Time]

Same old Collingwood board on BF. Lose one game and the sky is falling.

 

[MegaBob]

I'm pissed, as I'm sure a lot of you are, but let's not abandon ship yet. Our season isn't finished because of one shocking game.

 

[morgoth]

The only question that matters is can we win the flag? I don't think so.
