Review Good, Bad, Ugly v Collingwood

[Jeffcrowe]

Definitely annoyed at our forwards and mids not taking easy option going forward and often trying to do too much

Few times guys were free deep and we didn’t hit them

 

[Brasher]

It's worse than I thought.
After the Jones goal, we were 22 points UP in the last, and still found a way to lose .

I admit to being trolled by the team at that point....commentators even said most Pies comebacks are triggered by them kicking the first goal.

We needed ONE polished forward entry after that to win.

I remember being a kid and crying during the days of the Shaw era. Dad used to have to put me on the phone to my Grandpa to calm me down.

You and all the players huh?

Kicked ourselves out of it .........again

Could/should be equal top and 6-1 right now

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I would love to see what cook can do in this side.

He could come in for milera

Parnell likely ahead given form today

 

[pjcrows]

If you're saying we "should've" won this game or that game, then you need to swap our win against Hawthorn for a loss too because that was arsey in the end.

I think we "should" be 5-2. We're 4-3.

 

[Brasher]

What would we be saying if things went slightly differently and we won by a point instead?

That we had arrived, gutsy win, flag contender.

 

[lincsPJ]

Ugly

My 11 yo son is going to take a while to recover from that one…30 mins in tears post match which is not great when our non-AFL cousins are here and don’t quite understand the situation!!

My guess they only cry once. Games like today build character in young ones.

He isn’t likely going to come out and say publicly that Soligo didn’t have the legs to finish the game out or that Schoenberg was ineffective when he came on. Privately, however, he’d no doubt be having words.

He could have come out and say
"Now I'm in my fourth season as senior coach you might think I would stop making such rookie errors, Harry really wanted to come on so I had to sub out one of the youngsters. Soligo only had 3 clearances, 7 score involvements and 24 disposals in 3/4 quarters. He was the obvious choice to sub out"

AFL site saying NIL injuries.

4 hundred posts? Don't worry my shares portfolio is probably bigger than your combine assets

Wow. I didn't know that Southerntakeover had a combine.

To many wanting to be the man of the moment

The years change, the Crows being a weak assed victim club will never.

And a bunch of “supporters” that makes “Meet The Feebles” seem like alpha males. We have a truly sad core bunch of pathetic negative wingers whose default misery is utterly depressing

 

[WheresGroomgone]

I hate to say it but have we as a team got ahead of ourselves and we drinking our own bath water?

I have concerns about some negative interactions between players when kicks don’t go right etc. it currently seems a bit off.

as I posted in another thread I have a mild concern on Rachelle’s attitude lately it has become ‘look at me’ and he’s taking too much on which is currently beyond him appears selfish.

That margin is nothing against Collingwood. Unless you are 6 goals+ up, they will believe they can win until the final siren sounds. Have done it too many times to keep count since McCrae took over.

Good:

Defence was immense

Bad:

Some low IQ moments, particularly at the finish.

Also I think Nicks got outcoached. Dropping the spare back sounds good in theory but they just got us on the outside and from the perimeter so Dawson had no opportunity to impact.

Match their extra around the contest next time!

Ugly:

Goalkicking obviously


BUT:

We will have GWS and Collingwood days AND we will have Carlton days. It's up to us how many of each we have.

Long story short:

We have been in every game this season. We weren't winning the flag but are gaining valuable experience still.

The future IS bright.

Dawson didn’t impact? He had 11 touches. I think it was the weight of numbers rather than Dawson not impacting playing behind the ball

They've won 10 of 13 now after behind at 3/4 time.

 

[CroCrow]

Van Berlo is a genius.

Van Berlo had no footy IQ as a player, was a Deer in headlights and just followed his man. I don't like players like this coaching. He is the luckiest player in AFL history to play 200 games. Was pure shite

At least 5 or 6 opportunities were blown. Heck, there was one super early where Pedlar just over kicked it and missed Fog in a mile of space and it went through for a behind.

 

[pjcrows]

For our self esteem wouldn't it be nice to have North Melbourne at AO next week...

 

[119others]

Smashed in the clearances in that last qtr.
Playing at team on our home ground....off a 5 day break.
Shows how far we are from the top teams.
A slaughter coming next week in Geelong.

Yeah a one point loss after kicking ourselves,out of the game
clearly we are a long way off haha joke

He did say Soligo had 90% game time up until then...Burgess was sitting on the bench with a headset on so maybe he had input too.

Good effort pops, really showed them.

That's where the coach goes - no, he's not coming off.

Losing this game was actually a glorious victory.

We'll just ignore Collingwood having a short week, no ruckman and being reamed by the umpires.
