AFL Round 3 - COLLINGWOOD vs CARLTON Matchday Discussion.

[weic]

need to bring malthouse back

 

[Ant85]

2 key injuries, 22 points down, midfield getting hammered.

I'm praying we keep it under 10 goals, but that might be wishful.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Swan hasn't been too bad, but Swan literally has no defensive side imo.

Out of our 4 gun midfielders, Ball, Swan, Pendlebury and Thomas... Pendlebury's been literally non-existant. Thomas' disposal has been sh*t all night. Swan hasn't been too bad and Ball's injured.

And Wellingham, Sidebottom and Beams has been appearing through patches.

 

[SpongePie]

Thomas and Swan have been horrible.

Pendles no where to be seen.

Keefe is doing well.

Harry earnt back some after getting smashed by Betts.

Sharrod is getting in there and alright.

Maxwell trying hard.

Jolly is getting smashed.

Steele and Beams popped up, did well, then disappeared again.

 

[Krueger]

What a f****n disgrace. This new game plan is not working.

And Ben Sincliar should be delisted - tonight.

 

[smithy_9]

Doing very well to be this close at half time. Expect pendles and daisy to come out breathing fire after half time. Carlton could have put u away with all the injuries but didnt.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Lol Thomas was reported.

 

[JOELY]

The injuries are going to stop us from having a chance, but hopefully they don't gloss over the fact we've been outplayed and outrun convincingly.

This next half is going to be some pretty tough viewing.

 

[lihei]

I can accept the great effort in losing to Hawthorn, but the effort tonight and the majority of the Richmond game is frankly unacceptable. Is it the game plan, is it Buckley or is it the players? Whatever it is needs to be identified and fixed immediately.

 

[Temploar]

Come on, we better buck up

 

[biggiemediums]

One question. How the **** is Sinclair an AFL player? Number 1; he's got hopeless disposal and Number 2; he's the size of my 12 year old cousin!

Well its been stated that Bucks does not bother with motivating the players, whereas Mick was more about motivating players. Bucks says that the players should be able to find their own motivation, it's not up to the coach to do so. Maybe that's where the problem lies.

Although I agree with Buckley.

 

[Mick98]

****ing disgraceful!!!
This isn't the Collingwood team I know,are they Melbourne player's out there in black and white?

Stick a fork in us.WE DONE!!

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

As most of us in the remainding 17 clubs were able to see for years.....the Buckley delusion has finally been realised.

Carazzo absolutely smashing Pendlebury speaks volumes......the Collingwood players are not in with Buckley, and like when he played he's overrated as a coach.

 

[Blur]

I hate to say it, but I haven't really enjoyed watching the pies this year. We feel disjointed - as if the players or the play style just isn't working properly yet. The injuries aren't going to help...

What the hell is with the hospital handballs tonight, too? Every time someone gives off the ball it's to someone under pressure.

Could be right, but you would expect professional sportsmen getting a fair pay maintain the level required regardless of who the coach is.

Fumbled the ball in the middle of the ground when we were surging forward, then give away a free as a result. If this is our depth then start tanking for draft picks.

So because Buckley has a bland personality, he leaves it up to the players to motivate themselves......what a joke. Buckley needs professional help.

 

[TheFourPillars]

This is not a troll but i think you guys are getting an insight into what 2009 was for us. Injured start to the year and then Players coming back and more or other players getting injured each week. Hope your luck changes. Good luck for the rest of the game

WTF are you smoking? Over rated as a player?? You should leave now, get some clues and come back and apologise. Fool!

 

[Quicky]

We were lucky to get back into that. Blues looked better even when we were on top. With our injuries we cant afford to go helter skelter. We need to pick it up in the centre clearances and play tempo footy a bit more. We'll run out of legs otherwise. I'd look at getting Wellingham and Blair in the middle. I would also look at taking Pendlebury forward for a period to shake this tag. He'll need to go back in there but he is being pretty useless right now.

Also guys I realise its heated but let the swear filter do its job. Spell the word correctly if it gets through all cool.

Hope not but certainly not panning out the way you want a season to be. Regardless, you expect better from your top line players.

I think its just a difference in philosophy.

 

[Greening Magic]

Maxy has been terrific.

 

[PoidaCat]

Collingwood...y u no play good anymore?

Something we don't know about Pendlebury? Just having a shit one so far?
