In a strange turn of events he only had 3 turnovers. All of which came in the last quarter.
Used the ball poorly but still hardly turned it over.

Dynasty ends? They don’t have anything close to a dynasty to begin with. Just one flag they were lucky to get.

The two highest rated players for the Pies were Dependlebury and Sidebutt. That's not what they'd be wanting to see at all.

Won 17 games under 10 points across 2022/3. They were a team that took their chances when better teams Brisbane, Melbourne and Port choked.

collingwood’s downfall is finally happening
He’s kind of like a version of Harry Morrison for them except he’s in the forward line. Plays a sacrificial game and tends to do most things well and betters the team because of it.
We should smash em in 2 weeks.
Probably first EFC game I've watched this year (other than ours) - they won by a couple of goals but neither side are at all impressive - I genuinely think we've got both covered in our current form.
Merrett was superb - we need Josh Ward to watch that game on repeat for the rest of the year - that's the game we we want him to be able to play.
Every time I watch Nic Daicos, I see creative, but such incredibly soft play. I liked one stat I think Richo came up with - 14 kicks, 2 have hit a target. I appreciate the creativity - and his 360 vision is incredible - his ability to instantly put the ball into space in front of a team-mate - but so often that disposal seems almost designed to put his team-mate under pressure, forcing them to pass back to Daicos.
Nate Caddy is just Calsher Dear with better PR. They talked him up like he was a superstar of the competition, but everything he did just looked like Dear with blond tips.

Calsher hasn't been let to run loose like Caddy. Seems he was given free reign to run where he wanted

He should also have his user name changed to numbnuts for the day
Nick Daicos is an absolute weapon and so much criticism of him is that he's not a complete player.
But not many players are.
Daicos does a lot the of the 1-2 stat padding but he's also really quick, evasive and creative with his disposal. Last night an exception but it's really because Collingwood need him on the inside and the outside.
Very interested to see how the club looks in a couple years.
End of last year Macrae did an interview where he said that he doesn't necessarily see himself coaching long term.
They might lose a very good coach as well as 80% of their top end talent over a three-four year period.

I'm off to watch North Melbourne Vs GCS in a minute.
Rest assured, I'll be encouraging Mac Andrew to have a chat with Sam and Mark at every opportunity I get - hoping to get access to the rooms afterwards, before legging it to the nearest big screen for us Vs Cats.
Big chance of getting Mac out of GCS I'm hearing.

The Pies should really ban themselves from trading future first round picks. Gave up a chance at Callaghan or even JHF a few years ago, and now looking like they've given up a top 10 pick for Lachie Shultz.
Can't wait to play them in a couple of weeks, hoping we're still in the hunt because the G will be rocking for our first home game in what has felt like ages.

They lose Mitchell and Adams. Pendles, Sidey, Crisp keep advancing to the wrong side of 30.
And they ask a very good second year wing to win games for them at clearance. I think he's done a great job at that transition but he's not powerful enough to play through close checking where he has 1-2 guys hanging off and breaks tackles or absorbs them and feeds the extra mid.

Interesting what Ginni said about being a small forward in Macrae's system. Schultz has gone from 16 touches a game to 11.
If you're going to make your small forwards just hold position and tackle, why invest so much in a ball winning type?

User name to post ratio checks out
3 times, all of them uncharacteristic. Exactly like Ablett and Judd.
Massive cliff. Add in Cox, Howe, WHE, Elliot, Mihocek all over 30.
I don't care how good Daicos is, you can't carry that side when they all move on, and no first round pick.
Then you have the president saying they've got zero interest in rebuilding, and will trade.
Trade what??? They've already traded their picks.
It's only Daicos brothers, Hill, Quaynor, Lipinski, Mccreery that are under 25 and of value.
Massive issues.

Not looking likely if they continue to allow Rozee, Butters and Wines to rack up 45 possessions a quarter!

Butters, Rozee and Wines combined for 45 disposals that quarter. Rozee with 18 of them.
