Autopsy Western Bulldogs v Collingwood - AFL 2020 Rd 1 - Friday 20 March 2020 - 7:50 PM (AEST) - MARVEL STADIUM

[Shade]

Sometimes i think its not fair for the rest of you lot that we have the great grundy.

 

[theyellowsash]

He's somehow still only 22, seems like he has been around forever. So very young for a ruck still. Seems like a giant spud at the actual ruck contest though, is ok around the ground+ fairly skilled for a ruck but has no physicality

Grundy and gawn weren't much chop at the start of their 3rd year either

The Pies looked really good last night. They set-up well behind the ball and they've found a couple of gems in the Brown Brothers.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I wouldn't worry about English. He was up against the games best ruckman.

 

[The Filth]

Over the last 3 years I've seen every team get decimated, it happens. Pies were super and Bulldogs stunk, but Ive already seen them written off for finals in this thread lol.

Not me - they have a talented list and as they say 'every dog has its day'.

 

[The Filth]

I'll call it now that tyler brown kid is going to be a bull and a real handful in 18 months time when he grows into the extra weight/muscle he has put on.

Taller than his brother and has the tenacity and football smarts of his old man.

 

[FastLane]

Highlights Bevo's weaknesses as coach.

Really only seems to have one string to his bow- backs against the wall, us against them mentality- strong on emotion-can work wonders if positive momentum builds, yet flipside is- can turn ugly quickly.

Dogs need cooler heads in coaching box- and on field. Leadership non-existent.

Early days, yet some familiar signs

 

[The Filth]

You're either a good samaritan, a media buff, or a dickhead. They hammered them.

Not hard to guess which one you are matey..
Calm down.

 

[McOrist]

The commentators should self isolate for 6 months. I wish they would just call the game as it happens. The amount of irrelevant s**t they talk about whilst the game is live and the ball is in motion is unbelievable. "Poor Matty Kreuzer" received numerous mentions and even Marilyn Monroe -all during passages of live play. Even Hodge rambled on too long with his special comments. It's not adding anything to the broadcast -it's just a major distraction.

Excuse me? I'm relatively calm. I have a dislike of thing's that are being pumped up (generally media driven), as being better than what they really are. I don't rate them that highly, sorry if that upset's you.

I end up turning the sound off. I don't have enough to keep replacing the T.V

Pies getting looked after yet again by the umps. When will it end, masters of inducing the free. So happy I was present at the 2018 GF and last year's prelim v the Giants, very special memories.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Dogs fans keep saying how good Tim English is going to be. I don't get it, he looks like a giant spud.

 

[adammania9]

Another Collingwood win, another quiet night on the Richmond troll front. Where did they go??

 

[4THAWN]

I think the vast majority of us were expecting a whole lot more from the dogs.

On the other hand, Collingwood were very good in many aspects of the game.

Worrying signs for the dogs but way too early to completely write them off yet, however I would say that there definitely appeared to be a lack of on-field leadership.

 

[Gold Rocks]

Taller than his brother and has the tenacity and football smarts of his old man.

He was skinny like fyfe when drafted yeah? I would be good to see if he can jump or take a pack mark like fyfe to get a better glimpse of what he could be???

 

[EddieSwan]

Brodie Grundy AKA THE GROAT (Greatest Ruckman Of All Time) energies continuing in the locker room last night

Awww, you ok?

Quiet? Every moronic comment on here is from a crayon eater!

 

[Carringbush2010]

I've said it all along, minimise Bontempelli and you'll go a long way to beating the Bulldogs.

No doubt, but you just can't decide to stop him and it automatically happens. You've actually gotta go and do it - easier said than done.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Rubbish! Keep an eye on this kid, will be a dominant ruck. Certainly better than most of his team mates last night.

 

[Giant Pete]

Collingwood looking really strong. As poor as the dogs were they will get much better soon.

 

[HTPunter]

Adding in Bruce and Keath as senior KPP solid players was brought back by Gardner and Young. Also why did Cordy take kick outs as often as he did? Collingwood aren't a team you want to long bomb against so someone like Daniel kicking short makes more sense to me.
