Could been a Great Weekend if we won:mad:

Unfortunately both injuries and off field issues cost Collingwood another season.
I think we may win a final or possibly two but that's it.

With injuries to Rocca, Rusling, Thomas, Presti and Faser for a period. No Didak, and Heath Shaw for the rest of the year, it was alway going to be tough.

Freo smashed Collingwood out of the Centre and Port did the same a few weeks ago. We lack a classy midfielder. I wont mention who I have singled out this year but when the game was there to be won on Fridaty (14 pts down) he didn't step up and should have as his one of the most experienced player on our list.
Unfortunately we have a few players who can only play well when we are in front all day.

You man Obree?
 
Unfortunately. Yes.

Saw Jobe Watson get 41 poss against him when they beat us by 48pts. And saw a similar thing on Friday night, beaten by a less experienced player.

I will be watching him closely against Adelaide. I hope he has a good game.

Are you suggesting that it is O'bree's fault that Watson got 41 posessions?

Since when is he a tagger?

He didn't have a great game Friday night, but, having not watched the game, I would guess there were plenty who deserve to be dropped before he does.

Why do you choose to mention O''Bree and not Fraser in that situation. The stage was more set for him to step up, he was acting captain ffs. IIRC O'Bree isn't even in the leadership group.

Midfielders don't need to be taggers to be accountable. They still have to watch their opponent and apply defensive pressure.

O'Bree happens to be one of the worst defensive players in the entire AFL, and it costs us dearly. Several of our other mids aren't flash either. That's the biggest weakness of our midfield atm - the defensive side of things.

Fortunately, Pendlebury is very good defensively, and McCarthy looks like he'll excel in this area too, so that's 2. Wellingham and Thomas have shown signs, but it's still questionable whether either makes it as a full-time mid.

He didn't have a great game Friday night, but, having not watched the game, I would guess there were plenty who deserve to be dropped before he does.

Only remarkably bad performances from Goldsack and Bryan saved O'Bree from being worst on ground. He was certainly the worst of the mids - had several costly fumbles, was his usual rubbish self defensively, and didn't do anything in the clearances (although our ruck duo are largely responsible there).

I would much rather see how Danny Stanley goes in a final, and learn something, than watch what will inevitably be another average to below average performance from O'Bree.
 
Tell me about it. I lost the Supercoach Grand Final too.:D

I lost (absolutely belted) all THREE Grand Finals!

Unbelievably disgraceful luck! No Boak, O'Keefe or Pavlich which cost me 300. Ow and lets not forget that Chapman, J Brown, NLM and Cloke had to put in a stinker each AS WELL as Harding getting injuried. (Lets not forget that TWIT Didak decided to get himself suspended, thus wasting my last trade!)

To think I deserved another 500 points! Geez, I'm such a sore loser lol bring on 2009!!!

I don't think anyone could've put it any better.

True definition of our season.

Boulos, going back to that round. Did you go to the Essendon game? O'bree played in the midfield that day. He was our most experienced player in the centre. Watson was made to look like a superstar. I will bet you Watson never gets 41 possession in a game again. Where is the accountablility to man up when your team doesn't have the ball and when Collingwood were getting smashed out of centre in the 1st qtr.

If you have foxtel, watch Fridays game again. I agree he wasn't the worst on the ground but he was in the worst 4-5.
Pay attention to his disposal when he is under any sort of pressure. Even mild pressure. His disposal let's him and the team down.

Prior to Friday he has been good the last 3 weeks. But hence my comment, we have a few players that play well when we are in front all day.

I'm sorry but maybe I expect better from a 200+ game player especially with finals experience as well.
