I don't know how many times Collingwood supporters have to put up with INSIPID performances from a number of players who continue to disappoint and put in ****ing p**s poor efforts week after week.

When will Malthouse realise that O'BREE, LONIE, LOCKYER are duds and are not going to take us anywhere. It has got me stuffed how O'Bree is still on the list, let alone our side. Shane O'Bree would not get a game in any other AFL side. If you think he would, you are kidding yourself.

Ryan Lonie is the softest player in the competition. We all know he is an outside player, but even outside players can be hard at the footy when its their turn to put their body on the line. Never seen a player squib it like him.

If Tarkyn Lockyer is our best option for taking the oppositions best small forward, we are in deep trouble. Can't spoil, doesn't know how to anticipate a small forwards movements, CONTINUALLY goes to the back of the pack while his opponent gets front and square. Jeff Farmer kicking six goals against any team away from Subi is an absolute disgrace. His decision making is deplorable, none better example when he kicked to Neon Leon from full back against three Freo talls.

It is the same players that let us down, and Malthouse does **** all about it. They were INSIPID again and should be dropped, the media and supporters shoud be putting Mick under the microscope, not the players, not Taz, but Malthouse!

Well done to Pendles who was one of only a few who had a crack and could hold their head high. Jason 'Super Fit' Cloke was once again crucifed and hung out to dry by Malthouse. Did anyone else think he was doing a reasonable job on Pavlich. Cloke beat him a number of times in one on one contests, most of his goals were from bullet like passes from Freo midfielders who had no pressure on them caus our midfielders are too ****ing slow!

Bitterly disappointed with their effort today. We wouldn't beat Essendon with our current form.
 
What is MM's grudge against cloke? I really feel sorry for the guy, he flipping tries his heart out and even when he does put in a solid performance he gets crucified. Didn't see him crucifying presti when quinten lynch kicked 5 against him.

As I said I think MM is a good coach, but as of late some things have been very disappointing. I think he just gets too personal with some players and thats all very well but sometimes there are times when he has to make the hard decisions and not play someone or play someone in a different posistion, try something new and take a risk. And your quite right, the players shouldnt be put under the microscope all the time, not certain players, its a team out there and the team involves the coach, he shouldnt be immune from criticism internal or external

Don't take this ****!

If I read accurately, I guarantee I saw Mick say something positive about Jason Cloke's game in the Hun.

It's extraordinarily easy to single out a couple of players, but everyone takes the criticism. When Collingwood were flying we played well as a team.
 
Spot on the mark this post is. MM is so negative and conservative in his coahcing that it must impact on the players confidence. In fact I'm now convinced this is why we are so lacking in confidence. Forever he talks down where we should be placed on the ladder, always looking for an excuse as to why we aren't playing well. Guess What MM? How about taking a risk with your old style coaching!

Don't tell me Lockyer was the best option on Farmer! Farmer has smashed him before, you let him do it again and then say that wasn't the difference between the two teams. How many goals did Farmer get? Try 6! How many goals did we get beat by? Try 2!

MM you are an idiot. This is your 7th year as coach with no premiership. Hopefully it will be your last.

Well, that just about excuses you from this discussion

You are spot on Slothman, Tarkyn Lockyer has gone backwards, he was able to hit a 20c coin from 50m before his knee inj, now he is lucky to hit a 20 foot shed, every week the small forward tears us up, weather its Milne, Chapman, Farmer, etc, He is way too slow and ALWAYS runs to the wrong spot,

Where are all the O'Bree fans now, the team is struggling and guess what? O'Bree isn't getting a kick, he gets a center page spread in the herald sun when we were flying, now that the kids (Thomas, Heath Shaw and Swan) have gone a little quiet, where is O'Bree? MISSING!

And Lonie, please, you can't make a career from taking a handball from outside 50 and slotting a goal every now and then, he is got 1 dimension less than Scott Lucas who is the most 1 dimensional footballer ever.

Jason Cloke deserves a go, he gives his all every week, spot on about Pav, he kicked his goals when he was hit on the ***, not one on one, he took one contested mark, and that was when Josh Fraser got lazy,

And lastly, David Fanning, is that a joke or what?

Could be the first time Mick has given praise to Superfit Cloke. Did Cloke return to the field once taken off? Malthouse has crucified Jason over a number of years.

At the first sign of trouble Malthouse takes Cloke off and leaves him there. If you give him a job to do, he'll do it.

One thing i'll say about Jason is that he has an absolute crack and puts his body on the line for his team mates ALL the time. He plays with passion and several players could take a leaf out of his book on how to play the game.

If Malthouse is true to form, Jason will be dropped this week.

the interesting thing is the reasoning behind why MM played players on whom

he said that he prefered to free clement up somewhat so that he would be able to provide run out of defence, if on pav this wouldn't have occured...........a somewhat attacking move but he went defensive when we needed to win the game??

J.Cloke did a great job on the pav, he beat him one out often and it was big long leads which most defenders would fail to stop which pav kicked his goals from

who was our best option for farmer, if not lockyer???
 
The answer to the original question is never. He’s been at it 2 decades. He won’t learn. We are living groundhog day except the lead chick is a dog.

Obree was our best midfielder in the first half of the season, we were 8-2...........Obree has been poor since then and guess what the pies are 1-4 in that period!! Do u want the pies to win some hard ball & clearances....if so we need Obree in the team as Bucks & Burns cant do it anymore.

Lonie absolutely towelled up Goodes a couple of weeks ago, we know what his strengths and weaknesses are and have to deal with them.........he should be played on the wing every single week as an attacking wingmen

Lockyer has owned G.Ablett in the last two games, dont think u will find many better small forwards in the game. Farmer when hot cant be stopped
 
Why don't you guys face it... he will never learn and that's a fact to be carved in very hard stone. Mick was so deep and meaningful when you guys were winning... he's full of crap. Some of his match ups are questionable at best... bloody ridiculous at other times. Uses the bench as good as anyone in the league but he gets something working and then changes it. Should have 'rested' Buckley in the forward more, duhhh one of the best defenders in the league with James Clement was wasted and if Tarrant can't kick goals (2 cheap ones when it didn't count anymore), play the guy in a different position.... I mean if he is so dynamic, give him a go in the mid to back line.

So the first goal of the last quarter when we were three goals down (reducing it to two goals) "didn't matter"? :rolleyes:
