Kreuger would have offered offered a better contest in the air and more pressure at ground level.

Agreed. Swans will get smashed by a team who applies pressure for 4 qtrs.

We seem to have forgotten one of the golden rules of footy. There is no pressure like scoreboard pressure.

Fly's presser
You look to have the match in the bag early in the last quarter, where did you see it falling apart from there?
You've touched upon having so much success in your time as Collingwood coach with winning those close games. Is there something in particular that might have changed? You were lucky to hold on last week, but this week not so much.
You've taken longer in the rooms after a game than you usually would. Is that part of the devastation of losing a game like that and also what it means to your season overall?
What did you think of the non-decision with Daniel McStay. Do you think he should have been paid a 50m penalty?
What sort of address can you give to the team after a night like this where you really needed the win to stay in the finals hunt? How do you give that to the team?
In these close games, you obviously have to do some things right like limiting the Swans ball movement for one. I think Darcy Cameron and Mason Cox were so influential in the air. What sort of role did you see them playing and how did they impact the game?
On Steele Sidebottom, a really good matchup on Errol Gulden who kept him under control for three quarters before Gulden impacted the game late. How did you see his performance and that matchup as a whole?
Do you think when it came to the crunch, the consequences of losing the game weighed too heavily on the players?
How do you approach the weekend with your percentage as it is and you wouldn't be too far out of reach to be out of finals contention. Do you watch it as a group or as a team or in small groups?
You've spoken a few times this year about last year of being at the pinnacle on the top of the mountain. That obviously puts a target on your back with your team being the hunted. Sitting here 22 rounds in, how do you feel the club, the team and even yourself have dealt with that pressure of being targeted?

He’s Elliott with less speed, touch and composure.
I don’t mind us not making finals, what I do care about is the continued waste of first round picks. I said it at the time, and I’ll say it again. I can not believe we gave up a top 10 pick for Schultz! Will go down as one of the worst traces in our history.
That’s what hurts, trading away our future for nothing.

Comparing him to Elliott is an insult to Elliott. Elliott is clutch.
Still can't believe I had to argue against posters trying to claim he was elite at the start of the year

Just like last week.... except Swans better than Blues.
Pies being up then relinquishes lead so quickly by just being witches hats for a portion of the game.
AFL doesn't have time outs to stop momentum but McRae should have quickly quashed the run by moving players around.
But in the end... Pies lost too many games this season due to inconsistent efforts throughout each game.

Need to blood the youth in the next 3 games.
I thought Sidebottom showed up tonight though, he still has another season in him. He reads players well and defended Gulden well for 90 percent of the match. He just needs to maybe rest up a game every month, target 350 games before calling it.
But Pies need to build up the under 25 players urgently or they're in trouble. But something tells me the management had a plan to recruit, the Pies has been quick rebounding in the last 20 years.

Don’t feed the trolls folks.
Bugger. Sydney came back to life with 10 minutes to go.
Will be interesting to see if this sparks them back.

I think your byline on your posts sums you up .
You realise the coach isnt actually playing? Dont you think the 18 players on the field have the responsibility to keep playing at 100% till the end???

To be fair the coaching wasn't the best as it seemed we went defensive to early, were being out run and they bring Richards on with 43 seconds left? Most mind boggling sub I've ever seen. What happened to we like to give our players the best chance to go out there and succeed?? Definitely wasn't the case last night. In general I feel the coaching has been sub standard most of the year from changing all the coaching roles around from last year to having some very questionable match day selections. Sums up our year.

Floreat Pica, Bitch!
Just in case it hasn’t been posted already;
1) Dont you think the 18 players on the field have the responsibility to keep playing at 100% till the end??? we were up by 4 goals halfway thru last quarter - players dropped off 10% and we got run over by a very skilful Swans midfeild.
2) SCG is NOT a "tiny makeup ground" it is about 3% smaller than MCG
3) and the game plan as u crticise it blatantly was successful for 80% of the game..

Umpires missed that many out of bounds, throwing the balls, holding the balls it probably adds up to 30+ missed calls. Than add the many terrible calls they made it really comes to no surprise. It's why I've gone from watching every match every week to only 1-2 games and now after that I've clocked out for the year I don't think I can stomach another match for the rest of the year.
