Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 7 - Crows v Pies Sun April 30th 4:40pm AEST (AO)

[Collingwoodity]

Really isn't that difficult to beat Collingwood in the 4th quarter. Teams need to watch our tape against them

Have Cameron play like a superstar all game? He was the difference. Great player.

 

[Visions]

If I'm the opponent, I can't imagine there's many Collingwood players I'd like to have the ball in their hands more than Noble.

Wonder if thats what Sloane was thinking when he was chasing his shadow there near the end streaming into the 50 for a shot at goal?

Final term Pies

 

[DaddyMac80]

We've got team song premiership at the very least.

 

[PCORF]

Yep, we lost by 5 points and it was in the wet too. I think I saw a stat that we have lost something like 8 or 9 games by less than a goal against your mob! Then you can also include the the draw in 2017. We never seem to be on the winning end, but our games are always damn close.

I think we have had 4 wins over Collingwood by less than a kick. By 5pts in 1999, 4pts in 2006 and 2009. Also a 6 point win in 2005 when McLeod goaled with his left foot from the boundary. That is from memory.

Rachele was a fair selfish campaigner in this one i thought. Trying to coax his teammate into taking an out on the full kick that wasn't his. Burning multiple opponents when the easy option was on that wouldve set up play up the field. Biting off more than he could chew and going for the all or nothing move 9 times out of 10.

Gun youngster just needs to realise you cant win the game off your own boot with every touch.

 

[Macca180]

Great win by Collingwood. Missing some key players.
Dealing with the usual keep the crowd happy, gutless, DeadLaide umpiring and still got up.

Crows could of/should of put it away early if they kicked straight.

 

[JM#1]

Moore barely touches someones shoulder and it's a high to the Crows, Johnson is grabbed around the neck 3 times in the goal square and it's ignored. Umpires deciding who wins the game

Don't forget Murphy being punched in the face.

 

[Captivating]

You could play your VFL side and beat Sydney

You don't know Collingwood.

We have a habit of losing games we should "win easily".

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Two wins in the same week. Incredible.

 

[VinnieB]

Whatever. Adelaide outplayed you lot by far in the first half. Should have been 40 points up if they could kick.

And we probably still would have won.

No, you don’t. The last 18 months has shown that.

 

[Wosh]

Was such a nuts match

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Love it how Maynard is always the first in to fly the flag for his team mates.

 

[Captivating]

Join the club

and yet you are intent on wearing black and white?

Change your colours to blue, red and white.

It's unfortunately a bad habit that has crept into his game this year and was a lot more obvious yesterday. Only a 2nd year player still, plenty of time to improve his game fortunately.

Deadlaide? That's a new one, points for creativity I guess.

What a man

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Crows stiff not to get a 50m penalty after squeal’s miss, miocheck belted the ball away well behind the goal line

I could be wrong but I think it’s only a fifty if the ball goes into the crowd. But it’s a shit rule anyways there’s a whole bag full of footballs right there so I dunno how it can be considered time wasting.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Biggest fallacy in football. If they kicked straight the ball would have gone back to the middle and the game would have been totally different. Back to the future style different. They kept kicking points which locked it in their forward line and they kept kicking points until they kicked a goal.

I always laugh when people say if team A kicked straight we win by X amount of goals. Do people not realise the ball goes back to the middle and you don’t get the opportunity to change those shots especially if you kick 3 points in 2 odd minutes. I can just as easily say if Adelaide kick any goals that they missed the pies could go on to kick 10 unanswered goals.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Justice

Lol. It's a bizarre world, Crows sing our song when they beat you..Port are happy we beat Crows

 

[mick500]

Collingwood led for exactly 30 seconds. Tough loss for crows fans.

A lot of the come from behind close wins Collingwood had last year were against teams that on paper they should've comfortably beat. Whilst their record in tight games is excellent over the last 12 months, there's only so long you can keep giving away leads and reel them back in before you start to lose a couple. We saw this in the finals last year with Collingwood losing 2 close ones.

Whilst I think Collingwood will beat Sydney by 3 to 4 goals, I wouldn't be surprised if Sydney were to win. My prediction is for the game to be pretty even for most of it with a 10 -15 minute burst from Collingwood somewhere throughout to be the difference.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Is it a fluke yet???

One of the biggest fallacies nuffies in the footy world have been perpetuating for the last year is that we've fluked all our close wins.

How can something that's a fluke happen over and over again? It doesn't make sense. We won every single one of those close wins because we toughed it out and were the better side on the day.

Yes! Not only toughing it out, but a fair amount of skill and composure required as well.
