Great Win vs Hawks.

Best thing we did not need to Rely Totally on Steele and Pendles.

Kids especially Nick Daicos and Oliver Heney won us the Game

Leigh Montana grew up a mad Collingwood supporter

Ironically bill brownless grew up a hawthorn supporter and he now does dislike the team he grew up barracking for

Absolutely, and what’s even better is that it was by under a goal.

… and can I add what is even better than that? That we managed to do it to Carlton too the week before.

My two most hated clubs get done in consecutive weeks by under a goal.

Priceless!!!!

Fantastic win. Great character building win for the playing group.

Outstanding performance from Nick Daicos, which was his best to date thus far. Whenever he has ball in hand, you always feel confident he'll make the right decision and use it sensibly. I haven't felt like that about a player since Pendles first burst onto the scene 15 years ago. We have a special talent on our hands.

Cameron is progressing nicely, and gone up another level since Grundy's injury. He's had his detractors over the journey, but he's becoming a very good player for us. Knows where the goals are and competes well in the ruck, which will help ease the burden on Grundy when he returns.

Henry's an exciting player to watch. Still prone to poor moments, but the talent is undeniable. He's already becoming one of our best marks in the team and those two in the final quarter were massive.

McCreery's tackle in the dying stages was priceless. It might have saved us the game.

On the overall match, I think the game should have been out of Hawthorn's reach earlier, which was similar to last week with Carlton. It's a work in progress, but the players still need to be clinical and ruthless on the scoreboard when they dominate the opposition in general play.

Umpiring was terrible. I think we got the rub of the green in the first half, but they certainly did everything they could to even up the ledger in the second half. Ginnivan was taken around the neck on two or three occasions, and got nothing. Moore being penalised for the sliding rule enraged me at the time.

Been a very enjoyable year thus far. 7-5 (more wins than last year) and in the top 8 as it stands. Amazing how much can change in the space of the year.

It's not good for the heart or the emotions, but l'm loving us winning these close matches. It's showing real development within the side, and being able to absorb the pressure. Great experience for our younger guys within the team.
Loving what Cameron is delivering. It wouldn't be a stretch to say he is the most improved bigman in the competition over that past 5 to 6 weeks.
Same goes for Murphy, just love what he brings to the back six, and has shown if he gets a good run at it, and is able to stay healthy, he is a very good footballer.
N Daicos, well what can you say, that hasn’t already been said. The guy is a rolls royce, absolute champion in the making, and today, just controlled the play off HB and through the midfield. So impressive, 36 disposals, more importantly 800 metres gained....😮
Like that Sidey has found his form over the past few weeks. When he plays well, we look so much more a better team. Hopefully he can continue this vein of form for the remainder of this season.
Lippa, showing he is close to one of the best recruits of any club. Love what he has done over the last 3 weeks.
Big game next week, but we just play our direct, high tempo footy, with strong defensive pressure, we are right in the game....

And? They chose to interview someone who they were apparently "ignoring". How did that work?

Looking at that, It was purely a disgraceful decision. FFS what was the umpire thinking? Moore, in front, slid for the ball, the Hawthorn player fell over the top of him!!!

I was on the indoor trainer, watching with the sound off. I was genuinely confused what they paid the free for. I thought they must imagined Murphy holding or something.

Rediscovering 'mongrel Grundy' would be great. Ironically, he seemed to be kind of stung into action after that knee knock in his last game.
Maybe a change of role is a real spark for him - whatever his salary is, he seems to have been a bit flat for a long time.
The ruck rover or inside mid would be interesting, but then you couldn't play all 3 rucks, could you?
How about leaving Cameron as first ruck & have Grundy blocking, tackling & bringing the ball to ground from the goal square, then releving Cameron for a burst?

I hope Cox can hold his form to the point where they might consider trying this. I've been wanting to see Grundy as an inside mid for years.

You cannot have separate rules for specific players. It seems like the umpires got together at half time and made an agreement never to pay Ginnivan a head high free kick again. That's corruption if that's the case. You cannot have a change of interpretation half way through a game.
Click to expand...
I couldn't believe how bad the umpiring was.

It doesn't matter if Ginni created it, if he has his head ripped off he deserves to be paid the free. Drawing those frees is a skill. The attitude of the umpires is a disgrace and I hope the club contacts them about it during the week.

Ginni already gets targeted excessively as it is, now you're just allowed to tackle him high?
 
Winter welcomed a cold and wet contest at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where Collingwood claimed victory over Hawthorn by 4 points in a match which fluctuated wildly during the second half, after the Magpies had built a very good lead in the first half over the first two quarters, before the Hawks hit back on the scoreboard when the rain arrived in time for the last two quarters where Hawthorn adapted quicker to the conditions, before the Woods got the wood on their opponents at the right times to reclaim the lead twice on the scoreboard at three quarter time and during time on of the final term, where the Pies would ultimately do enough in the dying minutes and seconds to end up with the win in enthralling circumstances.

Collingwood won their statistical categories from sources such as disposals by +41 (403 - 362), +23 for kicks (235 - 212), handballs were won by +18 (168 - 150), contested possessions had a differential of +29 (169 - 140), while uncontested possessions were claimed by +30 (235 - 205), and intercept possessions had a margin of +16 (92 - 76). Hit-outs went Collingwood's way by +1 (36 - 35), centre clearances were up by +4 (13 - 9), while Tackles Inside 50 were won by +3 (14 - 11). Marks went in favour of the Magpies by +10 (75 - 65), uncontested marks were up by +8 (66 - 58), contested marks were won by +2 (9 - 7), +7 for Marks Inside 50 (10 - 3) and Inside 50s were won convincingly by +25 (65 - 40). Hawthorn won their categories from clearances by +3 (38 - 35), of which a differential of +7 eventuated from stoppage clearances (29 - 22), and tackles were won by +17 (81 - 64).

Patrick Lipinski (29 disposals @ 59%, 340 metres gained, 16 contested possessions, 13 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 16 kicks, 13 handballs, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 4 score involvements, 4 clearances, 4 centre clearances, 6 Inside 50s & 1 goal) played a very gritty game where won the contested ball, won clearances out of the middle and produced territory as often as possible in challenging conditions.

Taylor Adams (28 disposals @ 46%, 518 metres gained, 14 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 20 kicks, 8 handballs, 4 marks, 7 tackles, 2 score involvements, 7 clearances, 3 centre clearances, 4 stoppage clearances & 5 Inside 50s) made it his objective to win contested ball at every opportunity, tackle with intensity and clear the ball forward from clearances as often as possible, irrespective of how many skill errors were made by Adams. Ball use will be a priority for Taylor in his next game against the reigning premiers.

Darcy Cameron (26 disposals @ 58%, 404 metres gained, 15 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 6 intercept possessions, 19 hit-outs, 19 kicks, 7 handballs, 9 marks, 2 Marks Inside 50, 3 tackles, 8 score involvements, 6 clearances, 5 stoppage clearances, 3 Inside 50s, 3 Rebound 50s & 1 goal) played an excellent game in the ruck by winning his fair share of taps in ruck contests, presented as a marking option at all times around the ground where he was highly impactful. Cameron impacted the scoreboard early before getting stuck into his work to ensure his midfield got their hands on the ball.

Scott Pendlebury (25 disposals @ 84%, 323 metres gained, 6 contested possessions, 19 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 10 kicks, 15 handballs, 2 marks, 8 score involvements & 6 Inside 50s) started quarters up forward before being brought into the midfield to utilise his team with his acumen and experience in the clinches. Pendlebury made sure his possessions went forward or contributed to a scoring shot on the scoreboard, which occurred quite frequently.

Jack Crisp (25 disposals @ 56%, 460 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 16 uncontested possessions, 4 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 10 handballs, 5 marks, 5 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 2 goal assists, 4 score involvements, 4 clearances, 3 stoppage clearances & 7 Inside 50s) had no issues winning the ball in general play, but Crisp made uncharacteristic skill errors by foot when he would normally hit those targets. Did not stop Crisp from creating territory for his side despite airing those grievances about his disposal efficiency.

Steele Sidebottom (24 disposals @ 79%, 393 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 19 uncontested possessions, 6 intercept possessions, 14 kicks, 10 handballs, 5 marks, 3 tackles, 5 score involvements, 4 Inside 50s & 1 goal) played a terrific game on the wing by pumping the ball forward to his team's advantage and linked up numerous chains on the Shane Warne Stand wing which Sidebottom has made his own for a number of years now. Sidebottom is usually one of the first marking options that teammates from defence choose to kick to as Sidebottom has the ability to rack up marks to maintain possession under pressure or continue transition into attack.

Jordan De Goey (21 disposals @ 57%, 466 metres gained, 10 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 6 handballs, 4 marks, 2 Marks Inside 50, 3 tackles, 1 goal assist, 5 score involvements, 2 clearances, 6 Inside 50s & 1 goal) provided territory and scoreboard impact for his team, despite being culpable of skill errors at times. De Goey was alternating at centre bounces and time spent up forward during the duration of the contest.

Nick Daicos (36 disposals @ 67%, 789 metres gained, 8 contested possessions, 28 uncontested possessions, 11 intercept possessions, 22 kicks, 14 handballs, 3 marks, 5 score involvements, 4 Inside 50s & 6 Rebound 50s) played the best game of his career to display class and composure beyond his years, by winning the footy back for his side time and time again. Nick looked to link up by hand to runners or kick long to contests where the team could either win marking contests or neutralise the play and force stoppages.

John Noble (18 disposals @ 67%, 440 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 14 kicks, 4 handballs, 5 marks, 2 tackles, 2 score involvements & 4 Inside 50s) created play off the last line of defence by running and carrying the ball before kicking the ball to contests or the team's advantage.

Brayden Maynard (17 disposals @ 82%, 287 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 12 uncontested possessions, 6 intercept possessions, 9 kicks, 8 handballs, 6 marks, 2 contested marks, 3 tackles, 3 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 4 Rebound 50s) played the percentages with his possessions by heavily reducing the amount of skill errors coming out of defence, and backed in his aerial judgement to take some important marks.

Darcy Moore (16 disposals @ 75%, 281 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 6 intercept possessions, 10 kicks, 6 handballs, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 3 Inside 50s & 4 Rebound 50s) made sure of his ball use being of high quality to give his team better protection behind the ball, and competed strongly in marking contests.

Jeremy Howe (15 disposals @ 67%, 286 metres gained, 6 contested possessions, 9 uncontested possessions, 7 intercept possessions, 10 kicks, 5 handballs, 4 marks, 2 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 2 Rebound 50s) demonstrated control when he won possession to maintain possession or kick to contests where the team could compete aerially. Howe also chipped in with a few timely marks to prevent further damage.

Will Hoskin-Elliott (16 disposals @ 56%, 201 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 9 uncontested possessions, 7 kicks, 9 handballs, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal assist, 3 score involvements & 3 Inside 50s) accumulated possessions up the ground and contributed to a few scoring chains. Hoskin-Elliott did nothing else that was of any value.

Oliver Henry (12 disposals @ 58%, 118 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 7 uncontested possessions, 9 kicks, 3 handballs, 4 marks, 3 Marks Inside 50, 2 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 6 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 2 goals) contributed to the outcome of this game by giving his team back the lead at three quarter time against the run of play. After missing a shot at goal in the final term, he responded moments later with his second goal which put the Pies back in front and were never headed for the remainder of the game.

Beau McCreery (11 disposals @ 54%, 123 metres gained, 10 contested possessions, 4 intercept possessions, 6 kicks, 5 handballs, 7 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 3 score involvements, 3 clearances, 3 stoppage clearances & 1 goal) snuck in an early major before basing the rest of the day on creating and providing lots of pressure and tackling up forward, which was where McCreery proved his worth.

Brody Mihocek (11 disposals @ 36%, 7 contested possessions, 4 uncontested possessions, 7 kicks, 4 handballs, 2 marks, 2 Marks Inside 50, 2 tackles, 1 goal assist, 5 score involvements & 1 goal) provided an option as he always does but did not make the most of his chances. Would've been impressive had Mihocek finished off his work. Convert more than you miss in your next game against the Demons please, Brody!

Jack Ginnivan (10 disposals @ 80%, 159 metres gained, 6 contested possessions, 4 uncontested possessions, 6 kicks, 4 handballs, 2 marks, 3 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 2 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 2 goals) made an excellent start with two early goals before drifting out of the contest after quarter time. Ginnivan may have been a bit stiff to not have another couple of shots at goal after the umpires chose not to award Jack any eventuating free kicks.

Collingwood's next game will be against Melbourne on June 13 at the MCG. This contest will be the ultimate stress test and will contribute significantly to where the Magpies might finish at the end of the regular season. Collingwood will look to surprise the competition and ensure the Demons are denied the opportunity to reignite their flame a little while longer.

I'm glad you mentioned Sidebottom's game Swooper. I was beginning to think I had imagined his impact. He was fantastic.

It's important from a fans' point of view to acknowledge that it was an obvious mistake. It's just as important for a) AFL House to come out and say the umpire got it wrong and b) the umpire himself to acknowledge he got it wrong. Randoms on social media and sections of the media banging on about it does a disservice to everyone.

People can be pretty forgiving when others are honest and show a bit of humility.
 
What a game.

Definitely started to worry in thw 3rd quarter, then Ollie does Ollie things with kicking the goal after the siren. What a player he is becoming. Has star qualities especially once he gets a couple more pre-seasons into that body. He's gonna tear up the competition.

Lippa just doing what he needs to do. Definitely his breakout season for sure. What a recruit. For a bag of chips, as Madgen would say.

How does one accumilate 36 disposals playing off half back. Insane. Just wait til he becomes a full time mid. Meanwhile this is while he is carrying an injury.

Cameron. what a season he is having. He was immense today.

Sour note: Poor Reef. He looked devastated on the bench and after the game after he dislocated his shoulder. Gets his opportunity just to be struck by injury. He hasn't had an easy run with injury since being drafted. Hopefully its not too severe, the damage.

I worry that both he and Krueger are going to swell the membership of the rehab group that watch too much of the main action from the stands.

"Yeah, it really suits them. Credit to them, the way they played in that third quarter. We played in the wet against Fremantle, but that game in particular it poured early and it was really dry. This was really slippery. We just didn't get our hands dirty enough in that part of the game. We mentioned at half time where I think we were +28 contested possessions so that was something we had to manage and try to maintain. I thought they would come at us and they did. It's hard to win four quarters of footy at this level at the moment. It doesn't matter who you play".

You mentioned the Freo game, Ollie Henry stood up again in the wet. He's growing every week.
"I'm really proud of what he did there in the last quarter and even that clutch goal right on three quarter time. He's just managing his moments a lot better than what he was earlier in the year. He's growing in front of our eyes".

Did you have to have a chat with him after the Bulldogs game where he struggled and next week he was the sub. How do you approach someone that has opportunities but is not converting, especially for someone so young?
"We did, we chatted. The hardest part of this game is getting the footy in your hands and he was doing that well. It was about being calm amid the chaos where the game is going really fast around you. A lot of that was execution around his goal kicking. He's a part of our future; we sort of didn't want to get him out of the team. Sometimes, you can sort of send a little message by moving him out slightly, and hopefully that motivates some".

Can you give us an update on Reef McInnes' injury and Jamie Elliott's illness?
"Reef unfortunately looks like he has dislocated his shoulder, so again we'll get scans to see what that means. Unfortunately for the young lad he got an opportunity and hopefully he'll be okay. Jamie was just sick yesterday and got told this morning that he would be out through 'illness'. Not covid related, just the flu so hopefully he'll be alright next week".

You're inside the 8 and taking on the reigning premiers next week which is the biggest test in the game. You must be feeling really good where your team is at the moment especially holding on again for a close win?
"Yeah, we were really pleased. You don't get a chance to really sit here and smell the roses too often. Speaking to the playing group, I just think there's little growth within us every week. That last two minutes, we dissected the last two minutes of last week for about 3 hours in lines, different areas; 1 hour each for that part of the game. To see them take the learnings from last week and execute it this week; we probably don't get the result in the end. I'm really proud of that and that's the growth we're getting. Beau McCreery's last quarter, you've spoken about Ollie Henry, Jack Ginnivan. I think everyone can see our future there and I like to think we're growing in front of your eyes".

What was the key area of improvement from last week despite it finishing with the same winning margin?
"Decision making. Some of our decision making in that critical time, we didn't need to score. There was 90 seconds to go and we were just going to play the game maybe a little bit wider and support the backs a bit more and maybe possess the ball. Difficult in the wet today, but they just did it so much better. I get an advantage point because I'm on the bench but you can see them connecting with communication and helping the guy with the ball in hand. Those things, we appreciate".

What's your instruction to Jack Ginnivan and there was some high contact to him in the 3rd that wasn't paid. What's your coaching message to him, should he be playing for those free kicks or not?
"'Playing for free kicks' is an interesting way of putting it. I think players are really good at avoiding tackles and learning how to evade tackles and make it hard to be tackled. We tell our players to spend time over the ball which means that you're likely to get some front on contact, but we want to keep the ball in front of us. Being tackled versus getting tackled, we practice that. I think it's a skill. It forces the tackler to really be on his best game. Is it within the rules? There's no rule against it at the minute".

After the first quarter, he seemed to get legitimately tackled high about three or four times but he wasn't being paid free kicks. Do you almost feel like he's being treated unfairly by umpires?
"It's interesting. Maybe I need to get some clarity because as far as I'm aware it's a free kick so we'll get some clarity around that. I'm thinking you can't get paid a free kick because we don't like that you're getting free kicks, I'm not sure that's the case so I'll just get some clarity around that".

Are you seeking clarification from the AFL?
"I think. Wrighty, what do we do with that?" [laughs*]
Click to expand...

You encourage the skill of it?
"I think so, particularly when you're getting a ground ball and then taking on the tackle. Dusty does it with an arm. Joel Selwood has made a living out of it. I think it's smart play".

There was another instance that was eyebrow raising when Darcy Moore was penalised for taking out Sam Butler's legs despite it not looking like that at all and it could have been costly given how close the game was.
"Yeah, I must admit I'm talking about the tackle stuff. The umpiring; we make so many mistakes as players and as coaches. We're human aren't we. We're allowed to make mistakes, so whether that one was or wasn't, I think we'll live with that".

Best game you've seen from Nick Daicos so far?
"Yeah, I'm glad you brought him up. Sorry, I should have mentioned him when I mentioned Beau and these other guys. Nick's an exciting talent isn't he. To have 36 disposals or whatever he had in the wet. It's also what he does with it too. He sees the game really clearly. We were sort of talking about giving him a rest, but it makes it hard to rest him when he plays like that".

Is there any injury issue in the end with him [N Daicos] as he was hobbling at the final siren?
"Yeah, it was that last bit of play. Mitch Lewis drove his knee into his ribs. He's fine, he's a little bit winded at the moment".

You're 7-5. Do you start thinking about finals after most didn't have them finishing top 8 in the off-season?
"I did notice that no one had us winning too many games early. Again, I said this last week, we're just finding out what we're capable of. We've showing that our best is capable of beating teams that are inside the 8 at the moment. We talk about growth, winning habits and winning behaviours every week regardless of what the scoreboard says. There's nothing about the outcome in terms of the way we're preparing. It's all about process. It's our journey and are we at ends I'm not sure yet".

Darcy Cameron likely played his best career game as well. What did you make of his performance
"Yeah, we actually celebrated his 40th game before the game to just build him up. He's a guy that I think the playing group really enjoy playing with, so we had a little bit of fun around that. His performance was something else, particularly early in the game. He's definitely taking both hands with this ruck role".

Do you have any plans around the FightMND cause in the lead up to the Queen's Birthday match?
"Yeah, we've got Neale's daughter coming in to speak with us midweek. We'll show it the respect that it deserves. Hopefully, we'll put in a performance that will do the same".

Will you go to school on what Sydney and Fremantle have done to Melbourne in the past fortnight?
"Yeah, I watched that game last night. It was a cracking game of footy I thought. It was low scoring. Look, it's too early to talk about that. I like to revel in the moment to be honest. Quite often you get drawn somewhere you don't need to be at the minute. We've got 8 days to prepare for that and we want to make sure we enjoy the moment for what this one is".

Are you defending better since the Richmond game?
"Yes".
Click to expand...

Can you tell us how that's happening?
"Growth in terms of how we want to play. We've always wanted to defend like we are, but there's just certain things we're maybe getting used to; a new game plan, when 'do I need to run forward and defend that now, or do I need to support the backs'. I think we're doing that a lot better. Justin Leppitsch is our defensive coach. He's been around a long time. He's outstanding at what he does and sometimes it takes time to grow".

You were +25 for inside 50s, but nearly lost. Is that sort of connection something you will focus on heading into the Melbourne game?
"It's really difficult. It's hard to score when there are numbers back. That's across the board. We like to think it's going to be hard for us to score but we've got to make it impossible for them [the opposition], that's the game in part. Against West Coast we had the same where we had +27 inside 50s but we lose the game because we were easy to score [against] when it got out of there. I think it's a difficult part of the game and we haven't mastered that yet".

Did Vossy buy you dinner?
"No, he's taken off to Adelaide. He's turned his phone off, I haven't heard from him". [laughs*]
