Game Day Collingwood v Carlton, MCG Friday 28 July, 7.50pm

[Rusty Beam]

I don't think Fly is doing him any favours by just leaving him to get mauled in the midfield. All that cutesy mind game stuff about how we want the opposition to tag him, yet it's as if they have overlooked that we actually want our best player to play well

I agree.

At this point in his development, I think he should be a 70% half forward/half back and 30% mid.

He just isn’t strong enough around the contest and needs to build a hat into his game.

 

[No SPIN]

We lack our small crumbers Hill and Ginivan !

Hill yes

 

[Ulahoopski]

Well that wasn’t great.

I think with Markov's emergence, half forward is the way to go. He has goal-sense, and would create a lot more problems than bloody Lipinski!

 

[Rusty Beam]

He looks like that every week.

Well it’s an indictment that he was playing ahead of Macrae.

 

[doofdoof]

Fly and selectors have been average recently.

Don't like the acceptance of a lot of poor footy, but still scraping over the line.

 

[soreplums]

Howe should be FF from now on. Change my mind.

I reckon we will see more of him up forward from now on

Voss shitting on Collingwood again

First time.I think it’s Collingwood 3.Voss one.

 

[ksardog]

It's a natural reaction to reach. The block should be paid.

you can’t rely on umps to do the right thing, but as a defender, you just can’t risk doing it. It’s basically a certain goal against you. If he out marks you, so be it, but don’t give it to him on a platter

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Sorry but McStay is s**t

What game are you watching ?

 

[Mr Cannons]

I’ve got glasses.

He grabbed his jumper. It literally flagged behind him.

The block didn’t get called… the grab of the jumped did.

Get the right prescription then, he was blocked hard by Martin that wasnt even looking at the ball before he grabbed curnow.

So, Moore tried to influence a contest where he should've had free run. Give the bloke a break. He couldn't kick for shit tonight, but that free was crap.

Being on top of the ladder in July means sweet FA. Winning the premiership means you are the best.

Oh really? Thanks for the enlightenment. Hopefully we beat Carlton in the grand final then.

 

[ksardog]

Tay needs to lift think he could find himself in trouble soon.

wouldnt be in my side unless it was wet conditions. His turnovers kill us, and have been for years

Just because one free wasn’t called doesn’t mean you can blatantly do an act which is another.

As I said, natural reaction. I'm not going to call him out on it when he should've received the free.

What about 02/03? Voss was top dog on those occasions

 

[MagpieJoel]

Alright bloke. He was simply trying to stop his player after being prevented from doing so. Shit happens.

 

[davywap]

That was Carlton's grand final, for us it was just part of our research.

P.s. Curnow gets a medial for getting free kicks, well done mate

Damn straight.

Honestly as bad as a grappling ruck in the defensive half

 

[Mr Cannons]

He only grabbed him because he was illegally blocked, if the maggot did his job on a blatant free kick we wouldn’t be having this convo

 

[JLC]

Damn straight.

That's why I never want to ever play Carlton in a final because you just know we will get robbed blind.

Adams
Cox
WHE
Lipinski

All in trouble. Howe probably saved himself.

We've had 25 shots to 22. Inaccurate when we've had chances and a few players down on their normal output. We're the hunted, Blues up and about.

We've been smashed in contested possessions and clearances and have also lost the tackle count by a handy margin, whilst getting more free kicks and having less clangers.

Whenever I see a result I always look at that particular group of stats as a reflection of general play throughout the game and they point to the scoreline being somewhat flattering for us, despite our numerous misses.

We need to be better than this from week to week if we're going to make it to the summit at season's end, not start putting up some of our worst performances as the season progresses and hoping the other team is just worse on the day or manages to let the game slip out of their clutches.

Missing Bobby tonight. Honestly after now seeing us all season I’ll now predict no flag this year. Clearances are really bad, same issue as last year. A game style that relies on taking from defence is not standing up in finals. We just don’t score enough also, it’s always a close game no matter who we play. Brisbane will win the flag we’ll be out in straight sets.
I know the hate will come and the comments about being negative and not a “true” supporter in fact I look very deeply in our games and we are just a bit short this season, if we solve some problems then we are right in it next year.
Stoppage work needs something, is it Finn for next year. AJ needs to play more as he’s our best mark and our most accurate goal scorer. Players like WHE, Lipinski etc need to make way for Ryan and Allen. It’s just small changes we need to make.

Don’t come back at me to abuse me I’m not replying.

 

[swoop42]

No better time to get a wake up call, leading into finals.
And we’ve found another fwd in Howe, who would have thought.

Me.

Back on May 10th.
