Analysis When oh when are Collingwood going to find form?

[Carringbush2010]

2nd on the ladder and after a loss against north the alarm bells are (should) be ringing.

So how are the pies still 2nd on the ladder given their puerile form?

Ok granted they've won when they shouldn't have. Not the point.

Fact is the pies are struggling at the minute.

For mine watching the game tonight it's evident that their pressure game is null, in fact north had that covered - surprising for a supposed grunt team.

So let's look at the supposed best midfield of all time (Matt LLoyd says Hi!) hmmm to be be honest it's spluttering at best. Much like the forwards.

At no point this year have they looked anything like a flag winner, question is why? Why is their form so poor?

We all know their potential is flag but they're among others with same potential.

So Collingwood stop teasin and start pleasin.

Uh no, the form of this team is pertinent to the season on the whole.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

They're forms been poor for 4-6 weeks now. North completely shut then down tonight and they were lucky to get the points last week. Wouldn't surprise me if they turn it around and go on a run or drop a few more games and lose the double chance.

Maybe they just don't like Docklands?

 

[TheShardMan]

Maybe when the Multibet Kid returns.

 

[Underarm]

Only logical solution is to sack the coach and play the kids. Season done.

I don't think its anything to panic about just yet, mid season slump, few injuries, It's not uncommon. Still sitting comfortably in the eight! But they might want to start getting some good wins soon or else that top four might slip away.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Still annoyed our accuracy cost us last week vs Pies.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Hopefully not this season, we have their first rounder. Be nice to get a top 10 pick.

Thank you North

I still don't get why Collingwood need to play home games there. I don't blame them for hating that cconcrete jungle of a hole it's just Meh.. I guess Collingwood just play Meh when they go there.

 

[Firestarter]

Could get lucky next week but by that token Hawthorn is regaining form quicker.

I'm annoyed our accuracy didn't get us a bigger win.

They’ve been average but they’ve got an unbelievable burst. They can flick the switch for 15 minutes and still win the game.

They reek of straight sets tbh as you can’t get away with that in finals.

But if they put it together then watch out - you wouldn’t want to run into them.

 

[Football Tragic]

Its about timing your run to the finals. If they can turn it around in 5 weeks time, have a good run of injuries and begin to build in form; they still have a shot at the Flag.

 

[Coaster2012]

Now. Well, they have to or top 4 could slip away. Or they will surge and make their season.

Hawks lost several in a row now and were so close to beating WC today. Will be hungry.

Wc in Perth always tough. Then GWS. Then a Richmond close to full strength.

I'll be watching the Pies next month closely.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Rhyce Shaw always outcoaches us.

WC did this in 2018.

They think they've only had one poor week over there. Collingwood last played more than a quarter, what, round 2?

Your observation is flawed. An overwhelming majority of Collingwood supporters although pleased with our 10-3 record leading into last night, had issues with the footy being played. I mean just look at literally any thread and you'd see this.

I looked at the gameday thread during the last quarter and half the people were saying "we've been s**t all season" and the other half were saying "relax its only been 2 bad games"

So you already went from all to half...

Deserved it.

Pies will find some form next week as the Hawks are now officially bottom 4. But then lose it again over the next 2 weeks, possibly 3.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

If you subscribe to the notion that percentage, more than W/L record, gives a pretty good snapshot of a team's flag credentials, the Pies are still clearly in the top three despite dropping below 120%.

It's all relative. You just need to be the best team in it in a given year to win a flag; you don't necessarily have to be an all time champion team. Besides Geelong, everybody has been up and down in 2019. So if you don't rate Geelong, based on its recent record in September (which is fair enough, by the way), where does that leave you? Someone has to win the flag.

 

[raskolnikov]

They're mediocre this year. They were gifted wins against Carlton and Essendon. They still have time to turn it around but they'd want to get a move along.
