Game Day Collingwood v Essendon, Fri 25 August, 7.50pm

[Fruit]

We have kicked one goal in the last 20 minutes of play. It’s getting tough to watch now.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Our last 20 mins of this match has been so ordinary....

 

[doofdoof]

The umpire literally called "Play on ... " ... "50 metres".

How is that possible?

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Everyone except the ump knew Checkers touched that

 

[stormskye]

To be convinced. Let's see what the second half says. This is our last hitout before finals but to treat it as a nothing to play for situation is wasting an opportunity to polish up. No injuries is important too, touch wood.

I just think we play for self preservation now. The first quarter was our brand. End of the day what diff does a flogging make. Finals are all that matters. We’ve done all we have to.

I dunno that you can keep Ginni off as the sub, looks switched on and hungry and has a decent rig on him now with the shirt off if the footage inside the rooms at half time is anything to go by, so it's clear he's been working hard on his fitness.

I'd probably go with Lipinski as the sub, give a bit more bite I'm the midfield later in the game when it's slowed down a bit and his average pace isn't as much of an issue.

That’s why I like Ginni as sub to bring the energy in the second half. Plus I don’t think you can play all 3 smalls. Ginni is good tonight and I’m a fan but Hill is MIA.

Fin doing well

 

[anshell]

8 inside 50’s this quarter and no score.That’s not very efficient.

 

[legendstatus]

If they kick straight we would look worse than we are

 

[Looney]

De Goey's disposal has been off tonight.

His disposals have always been about 50/50 throughout his career. You just have to live with that

 

[Kes1984]

Can’t slack off like this in finals. Fortunately tonight it won’t change the result.

 

[stormskye]

Quaynor's hands are like suction cups

 

[Kes1984]

Umps are hating Checkers

 

[manicpie]

McStay been quiet, I thought he might have kicked a bag tonight

 

[JoinDate]

Checkers, mouth off to the umps and they'll call every little thing they see.

 

[anshell]

We’re getting lazy again.Switched off already it seems.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Why

Why do we stop like this

 

[legendstatus]

Wow we are getting opened up, this is terrible

 

[MagpieJoel]

Finish the campaigners.

 

[Kes1984]

Our accurate goal scoring and their inaccurate is flattering us at this point

 

[gouki88]

Why

Why do we stop like this

Why not? What do we have to gain from busting our gut?

I just think we play for self preservation now. The first quarter was our brand. End of the day what diff does a flogging make. Finals are all that matters. We’ve done all we have to.

Doesn't need to be a flogging but I want to see clean hands and clean connections between our mids and forwards. I want to see Jordy hit a forward on the lead instead of two Dons defenders just earlier in the qtr. Just want to see cleanliness.

There are players returning. If you want to be squeezed out come finals - just show the coach that you are a lazy, soft****.

 

[Gaben]

Quaynor's kicking/decision making has gone a bit to shit this last month

 

[Footy Is The Win]

Game was over at 1/4 time. Players just going through the motions now.
