Where is the leadership at Collingwood?
I am saying it already.
We are gone!
Non existent.
Don't wanna sound negative but if we continue to put up performances like that we wont make the top 4. We have some star players but also some absolute duds. God forbid if we got a couple of injuries to our gun players. We'd be lucky to make the eight if that happened.
Buckley is really showing his lack of nous.
The change from Malthouse to Buckley has hurt the whole Collingwood empire.
Buckley has shown nothing yet.
Rob Harvey can't coach.
Just cause you were a great player. doesn't mean you can coach. Infact, sometimes it is the exact opposite.
The whole team shows no discipline.
Our coaching staff are all rookies or blokes like Eade who are only in it for the retirement money.
Basically we took our form from last years finals into this year. People were saying after our NAB cup effort to ignore it and only comment once the real season starts.
Well, 2 weeks into the season and we are nowhere near a threat this year.
I simply cant believe our ball movement this year compared to last!!
Apart from Pendles and a couple of the younger guys; our squad looked disinterested!!.
Hopefully it was a one off.
We played 6 minutes of football.
Correct! 6 minutes of football. We developed that lazy habit as season 2011 progressed. By the time Round 24 rolled around Geelong smashed us. We haven't been the same since.
Season 2012 Top Four: Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn, Carlton, West Coast. Five into four won't go.
Question: Which team is the odd one out? After today's annihilation in Perth, West Coast is now an absolute monty for top four with all their home games.
Very uninspiring win. Hopefully, we are just pacing ourselves, but at the moment, we look like a 5-8 side, rather than top 4.
Disposal is woeful, and kickouts are a raffle.
We have lost the desperation that we have had in the past.
We miss Leon Daivs. We have no pace. Watch Garlett next week and you will know.
Our kick outs are appalling.
Sidebottom hardly tries. I know he is laconic but geez.
Daisy Thomas played 5 minutes of footy.
Without Maxwell out there, the backline has no one to lead them.
We can't kick goals and Dawes seems lost as he is no ruckman and not now a forward.
Swan seems to have lost a yard and now he has signed the big contract, doesn't care any more.
He must have turned it over 10 times tonight.
Without Pendlebury - we would be lost.
The Pies, without any leadership.
Sinclair would have to be the worst player to get a game in perhaps 10 years. The only thing you can be sure of when he gets his hands on the ball is, that the opposition will have it soon after. Julian Rowe and Ben Davies can consider themselves unlucky in comparison.
Would be nice if some senior players could find it in their overpaid hearts to string together 4 quarters next week, even if we lose.
Robert Walls on SEN, comes out with "right now, I reckon Judd and Murphy are the two most elite and best midfielders in the League "
He could be right!
All the five sides (Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn, Carlton and West Coast) currently in the mix for a top four finish have great midfields.
The question is what we can get out of our defense and forwards that will swing the scales in our favour. Right now, I am doubtful we can displace the other four sides.
I don't often agree with Robert Walls, but Carlton and West Coast have as much of a chance of the flag this year as Geelong and Hawthorn.
We don't I'm afraid. Our injury toll mounts from tonight and our kids aren't up to it.
We will be smashed by the Blues on Friday night.
