Game Day AFL Round 10 - Collingwood vs Western Bulldogs Matchday Discussion (MCG 3.20pm)

[Jonno94]

How many times are the doggies allowed to just ******* drop the ******* ball in a tackle and not be ******* punished?!

The Hawthorn tactic, Beveridge has taught them well.

 

[ksardog]

not really. I've watched him very closely (live) and he was very loose in defence. Improved a lot.

Like I said though, happy to eat humble pie.

Agree to disagree, been our hardest 2 way runner for the last 5-6 yesrs

 

[domus]

We are a disgrace. If we were playing against a good side we old be blown out of the water.

You are beyond a joke. Go and follow a sport you understand.

 

[ColinMochrie]

Playing well in the first half. Considering according to most on this board the dogs have "gone past" us we should be happy to be in front at half time.

Missed some goals but dogs have missed a couple and have been really under the pump for most of the game.

 

[AmellyPies]

Blair has been much better than Crocker

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA.


No.

 

[ksardog]

Blair is just a battler...tries hard go love him but really a long way off the pace.

Yet will play that one good game every month and a half to save his spot. Frustrating to say the least

 

[spartan-magpie]

Another wasteful half...effort not being fully rewarded.

Really a total 180 on the first 6 rounds though....credit to Bucks!

Yep, I'd written him off. Bucks has got us back firing nicely again.

 

[SuperSub17]

We should be 3 goals up

 

[Bad Horse]

Unfortunately history suggests you pay for those misses in a game like this.

Expecting Bulldogs to put on 5 unanswered to start the 3rd Q before we recover by which time it's too late.

Cant fault the endeavour, but shit we lack composure sometimes. it will come with experience but its soul crushing to watch when we do the hard yards and butcher it so egregiously.

 

[Drought Break]

Playing well around the ground. More composure needed in forward 50. The usual whipping boys of Frost, Blair, Toovey and White have all been ordinary. We should win this one

 

[TradeDraft]

We should be 3 goals up

Even More

 

[spartan-magpie]

True. A bottom 3 side like the dogs aren't capable of that.

I see samething.

Dogs to come out in 3rd Qtr and blow us away sadly

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

Pendles', Moore's and Fasolo's misses could prove quite costly. Sidebottom and Howe have been brilliant. Howe is just a gun in the backline.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

We're all over them but it's disappointing we're only 5 points in front. I just hope our kicking doesn't comeback to haunt us.

Just need to keep it up and start applying some scoreboard pressure.

 

[TradeDraft]

I know now you have no idea

Sarcasm Dave.

Could definitely go either way at the moment. Hopefully it falls on our side of the fence.

 

[DinoSoar]

Burned too many chances in front of goal that quarter, should be up by 3 or 4 goals. May come back to bite us

 

[Quicky]

Who's on Wood?

 

[Schraderbrau]

I can cop players making mistakes but Blair makes the same ones week and week out and they invariably cost goals

We should be 3 goals up

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Much better, that's good.
Missing some opportunities that's not so good.

Kudos to the Sidebackside, captain Scott, Howe, Maynard and others

Also Cox seems to do clever things, little things which is delicious irony being big and all

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Who's on Wood?

He's a very good interceptor.
Who's on first!

 

[HeavyPop]

Unlucky not to be up by more, but a positive is how well our defence is playing. If the pressure continues around the ball and the defence continues to play well, we should do enough up forward to win. Might not be pretty, but the Dogs have been the best defensive side in the competition over the first 10 rounds, so look at things in context.

 

[Pie eyed]

Great half. Really happy with our pressure. Could kick a little straighter......
