Review Good/Bad vs Collingwood

[footy4ever]

We are aggregate plus 2 frees at home including the Port game

Is that all? Feels like more, except when we play the more important teams.

Yeah we've had some big margins at AO (Collingwood, West Coast) but also some reasonable deficits

It was encouraging to see us switch to god mode in the third, against the top side on the MCG. A bit like the Blight years.

That said in typical Adelaide fashion, we fall short. Normal programming resumed. Could have been a win for the ages.

Kick a goal early in the last, concede the quick reply. That’s where we lost it, aside from the woeful 2nd q. The Collingwood come back was once again inevitable.

I really like Hinges game. Dawson was huge in the first half. Tex kicked some clutch goals. Worrell showed a lot. McHenry deserves a starting spot now surely.

Rule a line through Sholl. He’s built like a 10 year old boy. My heart was in my mouth every time Milera got near it. He gets caught way too often. I don’t trust Keays in high pressure situations either.

Sell the farm for a classy midfielder please.

 

[Mutineer]

Some on here stating the umpires don't matter. That's complete rubbish. Umpires influence games.

Of course they do, it was there for everybody to see today.

Too slow

 

[Klug]

The biggest difference watching high up the stands was the cleanness of Collingwood inside mids (we were fumbly constantly), and then they handball out to fast running outside mids.

They also constantly moved the ball on with taps, knocks etc, whereas we seemed to want to try for a perfect possession.

Badly need 2 more mids to put in the centre square rotations.

 

[1990crow]

Yeah it was. We lost the ball inside to the corridor on big occasions.

We won contested ball, won inside fifties by 8, won centre clearances.
Noted lost overall clearances by 6 but winning contested ball and inside 50 like that as well as having 3 more scoring shots generally results in a win.

 

[1990crow]

Watch the replay now. Its on.

I'm not watching that shit again. Once is enough!
I watched the game and strongly suggest ROB was NOT a factor in us losing.

 

[George Kramer]

We were one quality mid from winning that game. Why didn’t Pedlar and Rach get midfield minutes? Keays and Sloane were liabilities.

If we picked Serong instead of McAsey we win that game.

Collingwood clearance from stoppages was much cleaner

Put Serong and Butters in that team and we win by 5 goals.

By any measure do you regard OBriens work as effective at stoppage. He ticks it around the ground but there. First use isn’t in our house.

 

[Glenno23]

Elliott should by rights get suspended for the Dawson hit

They wont give him weeks, would be a clear admission they missed the FK

 

[Occidental]

We got you narrowly twice this year. Respect to your club and city.
Had a blast coming over for Gather Round and very much enjoyed the hospitality of the Sturt FC at training that week.
Proud when we win, but see you as a great adversary.
See you in the finals or in 2024.

 

[Glenno23]

I did love watching ROB swing on to is right and hit Tex lace out. Never knew he had it in him

 

[WAG]

Couple things....

Dawson was immense.
Sholl is not AFL standard.
Keays works so hard but he's just clumsy/dumb.
Milera is just so slow of mind/body.
Worrell needs to play every game from this point on.
Thilthorpe seems to play without any energy. Even his goal celebration seemed to be an afterthought.



Oh, and the umpires can suck my balls. So many decisions/non-decisions that went Collingwood's way.

I watched ROB hit a 35m bullet pass.
I concur. ROB was not a factor( Hed be in my best).

Pedlar, Soligo and Rachele all I noticed struggled with the pace of the game.
Saw all three struggling to run a few times.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

When we get pressured we revert to bombing the ball which really doesn't suit us

Much prefer seeing us try to pick off a pass, even if there's some risk to it. Or run it with handball, again even if there's risk involved.

It's just a different risk. A bomb down the line to their numbers risks an intercept and quick switch and they're away.

 

[hippyhippy]

Did pedler attend any centre bounces?

 

[Red mist]

Gotta Disagree with ROB. Main reason we don’t win clearance. Can’t tap ruck . But he is above average in every other metric.

Go on then Mutineer . The guy is a detriment to our midfield setup as as much as he is an around the ground beast he cannot tap for bollocks. Remember he was drafted as a CHB.

 

[jamesclean]

Our set shot locations vs. theirs…

 

[MsTopG]

How we responded in the 3rd should hold us in good sted for the remainder of the season when in similar situations.

 

[DroppingTheBall]

I thought the same thing, but my bro just says, no way the ump is paying a free kick in the forward line with less than 30 seconds to go.

2009 Semi Final, final moments, free paid to Jack Anthony against Ben Rutten. Goal, win by 5 points with 5 seconds on the clock. Two Vic commentators squinting at the slow-motion replay, Commentator 1: “Where was the free???” (it’s that contentious). Commentator 2 “Yeah Rutten held him. It was a great call I reckon.”

Don’t tell me they don’t pay them. It seems to depend on who is playing who.

27 Centre Bounces

22 Laird
21 Dawson
21 Keays
13 Sloane
3 Pedlar
1 Soligo

We did pretty well in the centre to be fair but there's little to no rebuilding going on in that part of the field.
