Geez. How ordinary have Collingwood been looking lately?

Take their best mid out, they struggle.

Like most teams.

True, and Howe hurts too. But they just can't score. Before the start of this game they average just 0.05 more per game than us. Admittedly, we have an outlier with the highest score of the season...against the side the Pies have had 3 scoring shots against at half time.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Taylor Walker, he has dropped off so much that he looks putrid in Adelaide’s side. Can’t run , kicking to opposition and easily beaten.
Has to be it for him

 

[benbanjo]

Grundy being worked over again. O Brien is pretty good though.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Melbourne will beat Collingwood next week.

No doubt.

What has become of the Red Sherrin's, seems like these Yellow ones are way, way inferior versions, are they made in Australia ?

Nah they will get the mother of all pastings in the media and come out breathing fire

Only someone of my era would remember the brown plastic ones you could pick up for a couple of bucks at petrol stations. Players these days kick like they're kicking one of those. They were real soft on the sides but rock hard at the ends. If you kicked a decent drop punt in bare feet you'd limp for an hour.

Structurally, I reckon he's the most important player in their side.

I've been told Grundy was always gonna miss this game (to be rested), but they changed their mind with their recent losses. It could really hurt them moving forward... Especially next week if Gawn is back.

Watch Robinson send Brown to the scum.......coming up now.............

If they cant beat Adelaide without Grundy then what are they even doing.

Their coach is putrid.

Boofhead Ed has put $100,000,000 in to him and he still can't win a flag.

Pendles easy.

Was gifted with amazing skills, was never a strategic player.

They have an army of mids Ben, but Howe is the defensive zone machine.

I'm stunned the filth army haven't thrown him & Ed in to the Yarra yet.

They've been conditioned to believe Ed and Nayf are the saviours

He took over a premiership level side from a premiership winning coach and has returned a finals record of 4-6 in 9 years with the richest and most well resourced football department in the country.

I'm not disputing the facts. But find me a Pies fan anywhere that wants either of them gone?

It's doesn't require any C.I.A. level psyop mate.

People go boogie these days if a player kicks 40 metres straight.

Football has never been shitter.

True, but their Mids can barely function without him there.

 

[Themanbun]

I reckon Shane McAdam is going to go alright as a small forward.
