Collingwood v Fremantle - Rd 14, 2016

[Art Vandelay_]

You already are with Zac Clarke out there

and Mayne. Probably worst of the lot.

 

[rhinowce]

No different too an auskick game..terrible football.

 

[PAFC66]

Crowd? I'm guessing around 22k.

Less

 

[The Filth]

Because results from 12 months ago are relevant this year.

They are when they plan the Friday night fixtures at the start of the year before the season starts

 

[HBF]

Gotta be one of the worst halves of footy I've seen in a while.

 

[Blue1980]

Crowd? I'm guessing around 22k.

Not bad for a membership of 400000000000 or whatever it is.

I think we need to get membership breakdown figures, not just include every little pissy membership type as a member.

I mean even zero game memberships are counted!

Yes I am aware my club has less members and the figure would be even lower without these membership types.

 

[Hawkers]

**** it. 28gb started. Might be able start a game tonight if I'm lucky.

28gb? Mines 35.5.
Got about 13 to go

 

[imperial_oz]

and Mayne. Probably worst of the lot.

I'd take Mayne before Clarke every time. At least you get effort from Mayne

 

[Xtreme]

Even if Collingwood win it won't do much for Buckley's chances of coaching the club in 2017....... dead man walking imo.

Just like in their playing careers Voss eclipsed them on field and he may have been the first to be sacked, but he was leaps and bounds a better match day tactician than Buckley or Hird.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Thought these offensive performances were behind Freo?

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Can't see Fremantle passing Collingwood's half time score. Ball movement has reverted to their first month.

Typo. switched to that one. 4gb down.

 

[PAFC66]

We played collingwood there a month ago and there was probably more port fans there.

If they win 10-11 it will save him, Ed will give him every chance to survive as he knows his head is on the chopping block if Bucks doesn't succeed.

 

[PAFC66]

Nah they just played the three worst teams in the comp.

Better figure is membership:attendance ratio. Even better is support:attendance.

Unfortunately, membership is a good metric of *engaged* supporters, which influences sponsorship and broadcasting .

Lol Eddie bail bail bail

 

[JoondalupJ]

If Collingwood could kick straight they'd be 8 goals up.
Now any football follower out there tell me that 50% of the game these days is not spent wrestling around the boundary, it is!.
When you cast your eye away from the scrums and ball ups to the centre of the ground you wonder why a courageous few, never try to use that corridor to goal, but you generally pick up in the distance a couple of opposition covering the outer and ready for a switch to centre, or are they?
Why couldn't a skillful precise passing team, get between those outlanders watching for the switch, they always play the switch by going in reverse and passing across the half back line , some times they switch as far back as the between full back and centre half back, then they are attacking clean but they are still on the frigging boundary and further back again.
Why are good clubs and bad clubs scared of the centre.
Lack of confidence yes? In using the quick way , even sometimes , makes me think that is why.

Terror of the turn over but they turn over a lot anyway in the scrums , when an ump pulls a free out of no where, I have to say the rules are as bad as ever, but the umps are doing well considering. Pies have picked up a natural in that big American, Pav still can't kick goals when he needs to , even after a pretty strong straight forward mark.
Good to see Cloke moving around the ground and doing more.

 

[Hawkers]

How fast is your download? I can never get more that 2.9mb/s down and I've got a 25mb/s connection on fibre.

 

[Sully90]

Someone please take clarke and mayne off us this year.

 

[Blue1980]

Yes and when performance drops crowds drop.

It's the same for every side, though there are some posters who claim their fans stick with them even when their crap.

In saying that pies crowds usually hold up quite well.

I remember Richmond getting sub 10000 at the G in the 80s and early 90s at times.

 

[JoondalupJ]

We just can't handle the ball clean, it's one of those nights

Keep trying but the news ain't great, really must look at the future now , even if you get up tonight, looking pretty half hearted to me.

 

[Rod Stroker]

They are when they plan the Friday night fixtures at the start of the year before the season starts

Precisely why the antiquated approach needs to change. Shit teams don't deserve Friday games.

If they could kick straight they would be 8 points further in front?!?!

Nah richmond would never pull a crowd like this...

Too many members for a turnout like this.. it's not even raining and you were every chance to win this one pre game. Poor form.
