He battled and competed all game which is all you can expect from him in that situation but he was no where near BOG.

Murphy and Moore kept us in it for large chunks in the first half. Nick easily BOG.

Frampton was easily one of our 5 best players today.

Our ruck was fine today, but the game plan today (following last week) seem to hinge on us losing the ruck consistently… the result is that our midfielders weren’t really ready to shark ruck tap wins

Frampton worked hard and was a better fit than last weeks plan but the lack of impact around the game that Cox/Cameron have was so evident.

Nah. Johnson just got bodied out of everything. We just can't bomb it on his head. Jack kept positioning for the hail Mary that would give him a goal but was never going to get to him.

Good that they could still contribute in the last quarter despite having bad days.

Spot on with Ash. Reminds me of the Cox forward situation from the past: both don't offer that much when they can't get a free run at the ball. Still Ash could have had 3, and contributed both in the ruck and second efforts. Noticeable he, Checkers and even Frampton were flying for the same mark. Forward line didn't get great ball coming in but lacked coordination, particularly in the first half.

the saints are not scared of us the supporters let have de goey in and a Ruckman and play at the G and see how much they don't fear us

We still got beaten easily in clearances (like always) and Marshall had 25 disposals and 7 marks and was the clear dominant ruckman on the ground. He nullified his influence early in the last though which was crucial to getting a four goal lead. He fought all game but you can't give him BOG for one good 10 minute patch.

Just let it go, I can give whomever I want BOG. It's ok my fellow man with no name, we had 4 or 5 blokes you could give BOG to!

A really good gutsy win when not everything went our way. To replace De Goey with with WHE was a blow. In an ideal world the replacement is Carmichael. Then to lose McStay and have Wilson come on was a massive blow.

Thought the backline in Murphy, Moore and Quaynor were really good - especially given what happened last week With Cameron and Rayner running riot.

Kudos to Frampton for the shift he put in. He might be developing into the next Leroy Brown - except defence and ruck not forward ruck.

Taranto has 150 but 140 of them have been turnovers.

I wouldn’t give him BOG but he was excellent despite playing out of position against a very good opponent.

Nothing dominant about Marshall's rucking. His marking around the ground was good.

I’d hate to be a saints supporter and have to watch Ross Lyon football every week, I’d turn off. It’s like watching Bucks 2020, 2021 my god. So glad we didn’t get him as coach.

Them not being afraid of us probably works to our advantage. We soundly beat them in general play, and the scoreboard flattered them. Let them be complacent, there’s no need to tap the aquarium glass.

BOG agree with you on no, but his influence on our performance was monumental. Was game mouldingly competitive in the ruck and needs to be persisted with there at least until Cox or Cameron return.

Don’t mind Johnson’s chop out work there either. McStay last week on the other hand…

 

[JLC]

Murphy ruled out of Anzac Day. Huge blow.

 

[eyeroller]

Looks like a possible punch to the chin to me in this vision?

What a Super Un-Impressive Win by Collingwood

Saints really should of Beaten us.

We are Sitting Ducks with NO Ruckman

Struggle to have any talls left as they just keep getting Injured.

Nick Daicos best by a Country Mile Again

Seriously? We went in with no recognised ruck, no JDG, and lost a key forward in the opening minutes against an unbeaten side and your first comment is it was unimpressive?

The fact we got up and won the game when the odds were stacked against us like that at the last minute makes it more impressive, get a grip man.

 

[eyeroller]

P.S the comments on their board regarding the hit are a disgrace

 

[Monco Matt]

Just on Crispy. Yes, he looked off again tonight just as last week but give him a couple of weeks to get over that tiktok crap and he'll be back kicking ass soon enough. That stuff has to affect you, you wouldn't be human if it didn't. We beat the supposed top team with no rucks, no JDG and a 65% Crispy, not too shabby!

Surprised McStay went off with a finger.
Anyone know how serious it was?

Brodie is warrior that sets very high standards I suppose.

Something to do with a tendon apparently

Not respecting you guys is pretty silly. But going to be very different teams next time we meet.

 

[Stripes B and W]

Very very majestic. Kicked it badly today though. But was magnificent.

He was huge, but his long kicking rarely ends to our advantage. I'd like to see a ball retention stat ( does it exist somewhere?)
His fellow defender Johnny N when kicking long has been even worse this year

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

Nick Daicos reminds me of Gary Ablett Jnr in the way he moves and finds the footy . Similar low center of gravity , always makes the right call.

I like Ash. I think we've got a dangerous flanker who can chop out in the ruck, but he's not really a kpf.
