Game Day AFL Grand Final - Matchday Discussion Collingwood v West Coast (MCG – 2:30PM)

[sirlothie]

look for us to regroup at half time and be better

 

[DeZi]

Pies will win by 15

Will manage a 2-4 goal lead rest of the game

Pies will get the 1st goal of the third quarter

 

[TW Sherrin]

Our structure is awful. A number of times we were running through midfield with no forwards.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Why not target McGovern he can’t hardly walk

 

[rand corp]

Its a nil all draw at half time, still anyones game

Let's see whose weapons fire in the second half

I am on the verge of a coronary at the moment, they wrestled control that quarter, we need to take it back in the third.

GO PIES

 

[carndapies]

The blocking and arm chopping on cox that west coast are getting away with is criminal

 

[welshm69]

We’re cooked

No.
We've played a bloody good half.

 

[muzzy2]

I’ll take two goals up and we’re not playing well...

Time to regroup, refocus, work for each other and get the job done...

Side by side...

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Liam Ryan no eyes on the ball, cannons into Maynard...play on.

“Umpiring isn’t that bad”

 

[Privateye]

We looked tired that quarter, or maybe it was a holding pattern - not sure but we must have had a huge % of territory possession.

 

[ColinMochrie]

I hope we can turn it around but apart from that burst at the start of the match the game has been on West Coast terms.

We need to turn this around. If it keeps going like this then it's over.

 

[GreekLunatic]

How can some ppl think we’re cooked we need just to regroup

 

[DogCoffee]

Tag Shuey
Put Cox in the ruck

At least Yeo been held well so far

 

[anshell]

We've got to stop bombing it onto the forward line,it's just making it too easy for the West Coast defenders.And we need to play on more quickly,the slower the game,the more it suits them.

 

[DrDavoren]

We got bent over by the umps for the majority but clearly got a few in our favour in the latter parts of the second quarter.

Umps are having too much influence and wish they would put the whistle away for a few more seconds and let it play out.

Pies need to go man on man and scramble as we have been made to ply their style.

We need to win he hard ones and break way with our pace.

 

[Bored_Pie]

Wheres all the Langdon haters? Told ya you were wrong.

 

[Privateye]

The blocking and arm chopping on cox that west coast are getting away with is criminal

True, he isn't getting a great run at it - but it's up to him to find a way through.

 

[TradeDraft]

Getting smashed at stoppages. Grundy is clueless.

Cox doing best impersonation of a point post atm.

Grundy playing his worst 1st Half all Season.

Cox like the QF is Bloody Useless and we going to him too much

 

[Bored_Pie]

We’re cooked

Shut up

 

[Soups]

We've got to stop bombing it onto the forward line,it's just making it too easy for the West Coast defenders.And we need to play on more quickly,the slower the game,the more it suits them.

If we are going to bomb it long we have to be smarter when the ball hits the deck. Varcoe was the only one with the smarts to do it that quarter with the front and square. Needs to be more of it.

 

[golazo]

Umpires have been disgraceful

I think the umps had been pretty consistent both ways to be honest

Go Chris Mayne!!!

 

[TradeDraft]

Not liking where this is heading.

The fix is on with the umpiring. Every time we look like surging or breaking away they pay one to turn it back.

Infuriating.

Umps want Norm Smith in Eagles win.

Feel like Eagles could blow us away in 2nd Half

Liam Ryan no eyes on the ball, cannons into Maynard...play on.

“Umpiring isn’t that bad”

It was a fair hit with the ball a metre away. If Maynard, Adam's or Greenwood layed a hit like that we'd be praising them.
