Hope you enjoyed 2018 gf then. Very glad to see Collingwood expose your weakness last night. If not for inaccuracy they would have won by three qtr time.
Great game last ,Collingwood. Have really enjoyed watching the way you play the game this year. Love the Daicos boys.
Best of luck next week.

He is ageing ridiculously well. Has played two blinders in our two finals thus far. Pendles for 400 games (and two more flags) is on!

Cue in fanboi Carringbush for his 2 cents worth.

I think he's getting slower, but his mind is def getting sharper!

You can see it.............. like he's got eyes in the back of his head. Or has an extra hearing sense or some shit.

More than a few time, when he's in traffic, going in slomo like it may as well be reverse, I'm thinkin 'fk! he gonna get caught' until the last micro second then sublime hands to a team mate in space.

Alex is very very lucky human being.
 
Was a pretty soft win in the end, exactly what you need in a semi final if you want to win the flag.

Feeling confident already for this week, our round 22 trip to Sydney will hold us in very good stead for this. Even just the feel of the ground, atmosphere, seeing Sydney at their best. Remember we had no JDG and the flu was going round.

Yep we were close to a shell of the team we were with the aftermath of the flu.

Great game! Great win.

I want to speak on 2 of my favs.

Mason Cox proved why he’s so so valuable to us and why he has to spend more time on ground. He played 77% yesterday. Last time against the Swans he only played 58%. Keep him on.

I’m seeing a few people say AJ was poor. He had some poor moments. However, he had 8 disposals and 6 score involvements (3rd highest). He’s not missing all those easy goals again.

I felt we could have played much better last night, so let’s get this bread!

Degoey got free then goal from a passage of play where mccreery had been hunting down 3 or 4 different freeo players with the ball. I think it might have started where he lost possession. Afterwards he was completely shot. It would be fantastic if he could be a bit more dangerous with the ball but he has to be one of the most dangerous players when the opposition has the ball. He doesn't just create pressure which equals turnovers downfield, he creates turnovers right there in the forward line. For a relatively inexperienced player he isn't that bad.

Beau also creates turnovers due to perceived pressure, because oppo players know he is a tackling beast.
 
Catching the train home with my mates way past our bedtimes after going out post-game happened to be sitting adjacent to Aiden Begg and his mates. Talked the game and a few other things Collingwood related, such as who's the best #39 to play for Collingwood (couldn't lie to them, Shaw will be hard to beat). In between making sure his mate stayed awake, was just great to see how jolly he and all of us were for what has been and what is surely to come soon :)
 
Come in peace, would've messaged yesterday but still dealing with never seeing Mundy play again.

Firstly, great game. Bullied us and never gave an inch. We'll have learnt a lot from that. No reason why you can't go all the way, Sydney are tough, but boy you guys press so well.

Secondly some shout outs to your guys; Pendles is a gun player but also human being, big props to him post game. Boy you've got one in Nicky D. Wanted to hate him, but he's seems incredibly likeable too. Most people I guess would take aim at Ginnivan here, but seeing as we had Ballas for years, I could never begrudge a fanbase having a player that pisses that many people off. Enjoy him, he's great for the game. De Goey's still a campaigner, but he's your campaigner, and possibly as good a finals player as Dusty. Finally Jack Crisp, what a game.

Good luck for the next game, should be a cracker. Both teams a pleasure to watch.

Great showing from the lads, we never really gave them a look in at all! Just lacked some polished with the finishing, which was a similar story vs the Cats, hopefully we set that straight next week.

Great to see Coxy bounce back, and get some decent field time this week too, among many other fantastic efforts from the boys

Bring on the Swans!

Lipinski was excellent against the Cats too. Two big finals performances.

Lipinski is an extremely good ball user. Gets lost in the love for N Daicos, J Daicos, Pendles, Sidey and DeGoeys great ball use.

We have a very good ball using team right now. Maybe the best in the comp. First time ever? Definitely in my lifetime.

It's funny with Lipinski he also plays so much better with the bigger body DeGoey next to him.
 
Collingwood produced its most commanding performance of the season to defeat Fremantle by 20 points in front of 90,612 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The Magpies got off to a blistering start with the first 4 goals while keeping the Dockers goalless in the opening term, which set up the victory from the outset with an opening lead of 23 points. The second quarter saw the Magpies dominate general play. but started to squander numerous opportunities, which forced them to settle for a margin of inferior severity, which was 28 points at half time. The trend of wastefulness continued in the third term, but the Woods eked out a couple of goals to gradually increase the lead, which got out to as high as 38 points and ultimately turned for home at three quarter time with a lead of 32 points. Collingwood scored 3 goals in the first 16 minutes of play in the last quarter, before the Dockers ate into the margin with consolation goals to conclude the game's proceedings, with the Magpies prevailing by 20 points, and secured their trip to Sydney to play the Swans.

Collingwood won a relatively frugal number of statistical categories by claiming intercept possessions by +9 (76 - 67), centre clearances were won narrowly by +1 (10 - 9), while Tackles Inside 50 had an advantage of +5 (14 - 9). Marks had a gap of +6 (87 - 81), with uncontested marks up by +7 (78 - 71), with Marks Inside 50 won by +7 (13 - 6), and +13 for Inside 50s (56 - 43). Fremantle won the lion's share of the statistical categories in areas such as disposals by +33 (364 - 331), kicks were won by +11 (216 - 205), handballs had a differential of +22 (148 - 126), while contested possessions had a margin of +9 (151 - 142), and +9 for uncontested possessions (206 - 197). Hit-outs went Freo's way by +9 (42 - 33), with stoppage clearances up by +1 (24 - 23), while tackles had a gap of +6 (64 - 58), and contested marks were won narrowly by +1 (10 - 9). Clearances were evenly shared (33 apiece) on the night.

Jordan De Goey (24 disposals @ 71%, 626 metres gained, 13 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 18 kicks, 6 handballs, 4 tackles, 2 goal assists, 12 score involvements, 6 clearances, 5 centre clearances, 8 Inside 50s & 1 goal) generated numerous scoring chains from the midfield by winning his own ball, clearing with intent and maximising his influence with each possession.

Scott Pendlebury (24 disposals @ 75%, 181 metres gained, 15 contested possessions, 9 uncontested possessions, 8 intercept possessions, 8 kicks, 16 handballs, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 3 score involvements, 5 clearances, 4 stoppage clearances & 3 Rebound 50s) spent all of the game releasing teammates out into open space with his handpassing from contests allowing those teammates more time and space to kick the ball forward.

Jack Crisp (24 disposals @ 58%, 600 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 15 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 14 kicks, 10 handballs, 3 marks, 5 tackles, 7 score involvements, 6 clearances, 5 stoppage clearances, 7 Inside 50s, 2 Rebound 50s & 2 goals) was tremendously impactful in the midfield with forward territory being his main objective. Crisp supported De Goey brilliantly and was able to hit the scoreboard in a meaningful manner that gave his team control of the contest.

Patrick Lipinski (21 disposals @ 62%, 314 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 12 uncontested possessions, 11 kicks, 10 handballs, 3 marks, 5 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 1 goal assist, 5 score involvements, 2 clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 5 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) had stints up forward before being released into the midfield at other times during the game. Lipinski looked to surge the ball forward as often as possible to give the team a greater chance of scoring goals.

Steele Sidebottom (19 disposals @ 90%, 268 metres gained, 2 contested possessions, 17 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 9 kicks, 10 handballs, 7 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal assist, 2 score involvements, 2 clearances & 2 stoppage clearances) played his customary role on the wing to perfection. Sidebottom kept his width for long enough so teammates coming out with the ball from defence were able to find Sidebottom as an outlet who took marks to maintain possession, before moving the ball aggressively as quickly as possible.

Josh Daicos (17 disposals @ 41%, 371 metres gained, 6 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 10 kicks, 7 handballs, 4 marks, 2 tackles, 3 score involvements, 2 clearances, 4 Inside 50s & 2 Rebound 50s) was solid without being dominant. Josh looked to conjure and produce territory with each of his possessions as a major contribution to the team's cause and outcome of the contest.

Darcy Cameron (10 disposals @ 80%, 7 contested possessions, 3 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 14 hit-outs, 5 kicks, 5 handballs, 2 marks, 3 clearances & 2 centre clearances) gave his midfield first-use out of the middle as often as possible, and was competitive around stoppages.

Mason Cox (10 disposals @ 70%, 252 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 19 hit-outs, 7 kicks, 3 handballs, 5 marks, 3 contested marks, 2 tackles, 4 score involvements, 2 clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 4 Inside 50s & 1 goal) complemented Darcy Cameron excellently by winning his own fair share of hit-outs, dominated aerial contests and kicked a vital goal early in the last quarter to deny the Dockers any immediate resuscitation.

Nick Daicos (25 disposals @ 80%, 346 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 21 uncontested possessions, 6 intercept possessions, 16 kicks, 9 handballs, 7 marks, 2 tackles, 4 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) displayed composure and footy smarts behind the ball by allowing himself the time and space he needed to make the right decisions.

John Noble (21 disposals @ 81%, 396 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 14 kicks, 7 handballs, 6 marks, 3 tackles, 5 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) provided great run and dare off the last line of defence yet again. Noble looked to kick long at every opportunity or move the ball by hand quickly to keep the ball moving and in motion.

Jeremy Howe (17 disposals @ 94%, 387 metres gained, 9 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 13 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 2 handballs, 8 marks, 3 tackles, 2 Inside 50s & 4 Rebound 50s) stabilised Collingwood's defence with numerous intercept marks coupled with long and effective kicks coming out of defence.

Darcy Moore (15 disposals @ 93%, 289 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 8 intercept possessions, 7 kicks, 8 handballs, 2 marks, 2 score involvements & 5 Rebound 50s) showed tremendous courage to recover in time for the game after being crook for much of the week. Moore knew when to come off his direct opponent and impact the play and he was able to generate adequate rebound at all times.

Brayden Maynard (10 disposals @ 90%, 227 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 8 kicks, 2 handballs, 5 marks, 3 tackles, 5 score involvements & 2 Rebound 50s) maximised his game with impactful moments without a big number of possessions. Maynard was still able to take a handful of marks to hold his end of the bargain, which then enabled the team to regain territory.

Jamie Elliott (15 disposals @ 53%, 205 metres gained, 8 contested possessions, 7 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 8 kicks, 7 handballs, 7 tackles, 5 Tackles Inside 50, 6 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 2 goals) had an excellent first half where he took his chances, while Elliott tackled the house down to increase his team's chances of scoring goals from turnovers and deny any meaningful rebound from the Dockers.

Will Hoskin-Elliott (12 disposals @ 50%, 182 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 8 kicks, 4 handballs, 5 marks, 2 Marks Inside 50, 6 score involvements & 2 Inside 50s) won enough of the ball and worked hard for his marks, but failed to convert his opportunities on a frustrating night for him.

Jack Ginnivan (11 disposals @ 54%, 206 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 7 uncontested possessions, 9 kicks, 2 handballs, 5 marks, 3 Marks Inside 50, 2 tackles, 6 score involvements & 3 goals) made the most of his chances in front of goal to get his team over the line when he was required.

Brody Mihocek (9 disposals @ 78%, 130 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 5 kicks, 4 handballs, 5 marks, 2 contested marks, 4 Marks Inside 50, 7 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 2 goals) snapped his way home with a couple of important majors and ensured he had aerial presence at each contest.

Collingwood's next game will be against Sydney on September 17 at the SCG. Put it all on the line, Woods! Quell the Swans at every opportunity and convert every goal on offer to get one hand on the cup against either the Cats or Lions.

watched the same game as whoever did the ratings for fox sports.

All the ones I listed as our best were "curiously" rated the highest.

The players I said were poor strangely also rated the lowest. Mcreery least amount of disposals, no goals, plays as a forward, no shots on goal. Yes he did some pressure acts.

about a 100 of them ...

Agree- whether he hits a target, or kicks into space I50, the result is usually a goal. Very underrated with ball in hand.
