Didn't you see Cox? Worst performance that I've ever seen in the AFL.

I guess you didn't watch us in the late nineties!

In all seriousness , I think Varcoe was worse than Cox (much worse). He didn't get any stats for us but I thought Cox was important early in the match as he affected a number of contests. As the game went on he got worse and worse to the point of diabolical. What he did didn't come off, but at least he tried to do something.

Varcoe on the otherhand was, unfortunately not for the first time, completely absent. If he walked away from the ground three minutes in, nobody would have noticed.

I can handle players not being talented enough. It's the coaches' job to pick the team.

I can't accept highly talented and experienced campaigners being total passengers in the way that Varcoe was. It's players like him who should be driving the team on.
 
Been a while since we’ve been thumped by 100 points at the G. If we turn up with the same kicking routine as we did against the Hawks we will be lucky to touch the ball again other than at the centre bounce.

Really can’t stand that we are backs against the wall again and it’s only round 2. Something has to seriously change

Cox out Blair in, second most ineffective key forward out for the most ineffective key forward in. If this happens, nothing has changed!

I'm sorry, but 35 touches has to be a typo.

There can't be a level of professional, amateur or junior football in this country where Chris Mayne can get 35 disposals.
I think they meant 35 Supercoach points.

I think with all that tape he had all over him he was worried about going near the ball because he'd be accused of ball tampering.
 
I'm on board with mane.

Hang on, did you say Mayne? Stupid ****ing humans...

Nathan Buckley insists Collingwood won’t lower expectations after Round 1 loss to Hawthorn

Playmaking Pies Alex Fasolo, Daniel Wells and Jamie Elliott will all miss again.

  • With Fasolo set to spend at least another week in the VFL and Wells and Elliott not yet near full fitness, Buckley named Chris Mayne, Jarryd Blair, Tim Broomhead and Brayden Sier as potential inclusions.

    But Buckley continued to praise the forward’s positive attitude.

    “He had 35 touches on the weekend, not that touches are everything,” Buckley joked, in reference to Tom Mitchell’s 54-disposal haul against the Pies last weekend.

    “He had a real good impact and had a real solid pre-season. I think he’s bounced off a pretty disappointing year last year with a first class atitude, which we knew he’s always had.

    “He just seems to have his legs under him a bit more, he’s covering the ground better and he’s put himself in the frame. He’ll get his opportunites.”

    Asked what it meant that Mayne hadn’t been able to get a Round 1 berth despite injuries to forwards Fasolo and Elliott, Buckley said: “There’s no use going back over it.

    “Our attitude to him and any other player is if we think you can help us win a game of footy you’ll play and our players understand that. Mayney has got some fantastic strengths and we’re looking forward to him bringing them to the table.”
 
I would love to bring Sier in. He has really worked hard this pre-season and shown good form. Would much rather that than Chris Mayne.

Cal brown also needs a spot. We clearly lack crumbers, and he looked good in JLT as well.
The problem is that Brown is not a crumber, he is an inside mid who can only handpass, you are just assuming he is a crumber because he is small

Potentially Mayne Crocker Blair in our forward line.

Forfeit the game and let's plan for the Carlton game.
 

Ὦ ξεῖν', ἀγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ὅτι τῇδε
κείμεθα, τοῖς κείνων ῥήμασι πειθόμενοι.

Go tell the Magpie Faithful, stranger passing by,
that here unready and unable to play AFL quality football we lie.

or something like that.
 
Hoping Moore plays forward.. otherwise.. kala.. how on earth are we going to win this one. Fasolo if he's ok to play.. bloody play him.

Sorry levendi Bucks also said Moore will start back.
