All not well at the Pies

[Rusty Brookes]

Prpeared to take flak from Pie fans but Collingwood players seem half hearted. No real intensity or passion

Highlights how important Luke Ball is to Collingwood. Hardly notice him when he's there but boy do you notice when he isn't. He gave them the hardness they lacked pre 2010 and was a major factor in their premiership. His attack on the ball is infectious.

So is Cloke going to abandon this sinking ship or what?

Collingwood fans have seen enough.

Exactly how I'm seeing it.

Carlton have tons of time and space; Collingwood of the last few years give you none of either, not lots of both.

No intensity, no desire - I'd be starting to worry if I was a Pies fan; luckily it's early days and they should be able to turn it around... If they want to.

Collingwood fans have seen enough.

Would any of us stick around to hear 50k Blues fans singing and gloating at the end?

You can't lose malthouse, neeld and watters and expect everything to remain the same.

I guess this is what the Pies look like playing purely on talent and without heart and structure.

 

[jacko57]

I think most people would pick Collingwood over North. Its nice playing in front of big crowds and having more cash.

Worked well for him as a player.

Joffa isn't taking it too well, mind you he has been in a good paddock

Have you even seen his Wife?

Seems to be a few guys that may be showing signs of front runners. Harry O looks lost this year in defence. Bucks should have moved him off Betts early in the piece. Dawes is also looking ordinary. really missing Davis down back.
On Buckley there have been plenty of rumours that he doesn't have the support of the playing group. It is looking that way. He Has changed the game plan and looks like its not working so far.

Round 3 and it doesnt mean stuff all....what does is intensity and physical pressure...and so far in these 3 rounds its NON EXISTANT!

Shadow of a team at the moment.

Carlton cant play much better...and pies...well they cant play much worse.

Hope no-one get injuries cos im desperte for Blues to go Wet Toast, Cats and Hawks. That will show the true measure of this team.

Some big bodies slamming in on every contest will show what carlton are made of. Small bodies will be sore.

 

[Axle17]

I suppose my teams loss isn't looking so bad now...;-)

The Pies remind me of the Roos last year, beat the easy teams, get smashed by the Top 4 teams. First Hawks, now the Blues. Hate to think what Geelong and WCE will do to them. Scary.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Don't take the cats run for granted... 80s hawks fans can attest to that

Who is taking anything for granted?

 

[Raymond Rougeau]

Just saying your teams up , enjoy it these things can be a fleeting moment

C'mon mate, the Pies are terrible and its great fun to stick the boots in but they are not that bad.

Maybe when we start sliding, we'll tank like Carlton did to draw a team full of round 1 / priority picks??

 

[Raymond Rougeau]

More power to you

 

[Eatosk]

You're right morebeer, my bad, the Pies are worse.

Keep grasping mate.

Good or bad?

 

[King Elvis]

Anyone else think Swan is carrying a few kgs?

Looks a bit of a fatso.

 

[Coldacre]

Pies remind of Essendon 2002..... past it, and they know it too

it's wonderful to see

 

[wowlace]

Invisible cloke.

 

[Football Invective]

Curse of the Kangaroo.

Buckley shafted us to "win flags" at Collingwood as a player.

Then he shafted us when we offered him a coaching gig ...

He also left Brisbane to "play in premierships" at Collingwood.

Then turned down offers from Port Adelaide when they came in.

Counting North (x2), Brisbane (x3) and Port (x1) that's 6 flags he could have played in.
