Review Good, Bad, Ugly v Collingwood

[cm_perfect]

Yep, was thinking that at the end

If we'd won we would never have received another free kick in our lifetimes

 

[Punchy Bassett]

52 to 28 hitouts and smashed in clearances.

Cause ROB's tap outs were like Jacobs in the 2017 GF, useless

 

[MrBarry]

Shows how far we are from the top teams.

A behind?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Pies are elite. I'd be looking at the Richmond loss - that is looking stinkier by the week.

Richmond we ran out of steam after GWS game.

Tonight we should have won.

 

[CrowBloke]

Thought Old Butts was back for most of that game. His best for a while.

Butts kicked directly to a Pie player, trying to find Milera.
Result: Collingwood goal.

That's the game, right there.

 

[Freomaniac]

Tonight I expect it will be rhe difference In making the finals.

Sadly you might be right.

Most crows predicated a 7th to 11th placed finish.

Either just fall short or sneak into 8th spot

 

[Golumless]

Probably the only console there is we kept the best side in the league to 59 points. That said, we pissed away a big statement win.

Good:

Soligo had a big three quarters. Hopefully he's not injured as that sub was mind boggling stupid.

Pedlar stood up and made plays. Is building nicely into the year.

Jones really cements this run of form with a 20 and 2. Could have easily got 20 and 4 as well.

I thought we defended stoutly. Not only the aforementioned 59 points, but our continious ability to stifle Collingwoods break aways. Doedee, Butts, Murray etc all had their moments.

Dawson played a big game.

Thilthorpe had an influence around the ground. Shame he wasted that shot.

We gave the blueprint on how to beat Collingwood at least.

Ugly:

How we handled that last quarter. We played it terrified of Collingwood instead of properly.

Goalkicking, and honestly, with that last quarter went, did we put too much pressure on ourselves to get that fast start?

Nicks had the first game in a long time where he was comprehensively outcoached. The sub was a terrible call as Soglio was one of the leading mids. Not only that, but playing your star mid in Dawson as a loose defender when it mattered reeked of fear.


There are positives there in that game, but yeah, pissed away a big statement win.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Had to be injured, just has to be. A coach isn’t subbing off Soligo otherwise, makes no sense.

Soligo's disposal in 1st half was atrocious.

 

[footy4ever]

Accuracy cost us the game, nothing else. Same mistakes, same umpiring, with accurate goal kicking - we win that.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

That was a very ordinary 30 disposal game by Dawson.

His kicking was off the boil badly tonight

 

[Crowboto]

Maybe one day we will get that elite mid.

 

[ABAB]

Butts kicked directly to a Pie player, trying to find Milera.
Result: Collingwood goal.

That's the game, right there.

Rankine miss running into an open goal 15m out?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Butts kicked directly to a Pie player, trying to find Milera.
Result: Collingwood goal.

That's the game, right there.

No, our forwards poor goal kicking was really game!

Dawson foot skill tonight was below par

 

[pjcrows]

A lot of the first half's method actually played out like the Carlton game - we just kicked 3.10 instead of 10.3.

Collingwood won't win every game they play, but they'll sure as hell run through a 5 goal deficit let alone a 3 goal one.

 

[Dewy006]

Are you on the board?

Honorable loss club 4life

Never said it was an honourable loss. Shock horror, young team shit the bed when put under pressure. My only point is if we learn from it than it’s worth it long term. Some posters need to get a grip.

 

[Mutineer]

And all that the ridiculous Mutineer can contribute is another of his vacuous HA-HAs at an intelligent post.
He is the anti-intellectual TRUMP of this Board.

And you're the biggest bullshit artist on the board, reams and reams of crap.

 

[ABAB]

Sadly you might be right.

Most predicated us as still bottom 4 at the start of this year.

 

[CrowBloke]

Rankine miss running into an open goal 15m out?

Yes, ANOTHER diabolical miss that I posted about previously. Try to keep up?

 

[Multiballz]

I’m gonna say it. I think the recent praise has gone to Dawson’s head and affected his natural game.

There were multiple times he had the logical easy handball to a free team mate, which he burnt in order to attempt the outlandish play and it backfired.

Back to the drawing board.

I think hes looked very tired since 3rd quarter of the Carlton game.

 

[Firewalker]

Also surely someone at the club looked at the forecast and thought maybe we need to dunk some footballs in water and simulate some kicking drills with a wet slippery ball.

 

[Crowboto]

Well, that would mean our rebuild is ahead of schedule so what's the problem?

God I wish I lived in your world.

 

[Rotayjay]

I was at the ground and it was a very frustrating game to see.

We lost and could really have used those 4 premiership points, but at least we were competitive against a very good and top-4 quality side. Going into the match I had a competitive loss as a pass mark.

 

[jackster83]

Collingwood kept going through whoever Keays was on in the last.

He looks really slow atm.

 

[pjcrows]

Most predicated us as still bottom 4 at the start of this year.

I had our ceiling at 10 wins, predicted 8 wins.
