Congrats AFL, that's how you lose neutral viewers, forever.

Looks like the AFL and umpires are on a mission to snag Collingwood another flag.

What are they going to pay 60-0 free kicks when they play GWS and Brisbane?

They're absolutely cooked if they can only beat the Dogs by 6 points with the outs the Dogs have and in a rigged game liked that

 

[Call Me Cake]

33-14 free kicks. Bit of an imbalance, but it is Collingwood.

B-but boncer34 said they even it out

Still can’t believe we took lual over freijah

Cant believe so many sides took players before Roberts. You win some and lose some. Two out of three picks in that ND is a good result.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

32-14 frees for Collingwood...

Yeh swings and round abouts
I can see why Roberts fell on draft night ( well not fell clubs probably
Never had him that high), but I thought watching freijah that year, that he was a genuine top 20-25 talent. Ran well, good mark, good in the contest and good kick.

Most clubs obviously had him rated further back. Just one of those things.

Wait are we already calling the full story with Lual? Let the kid play one game first smh

Can't feel that sorry for the dogs considering how much they've been kissed on the dick by umps over the last five or so years.

Let’s face it, if Weightman plays the frees are going to be 32 apiece.

My thoughts exactly, swings and roundabouts.

he’s burnt out, hasn’t he? always injured, maybe he’s the bulldogs gumbleton

 

[bombadeer]

Libba is amazing

My favourite inside midfielder.

Something about a player who understands his game, where his strengths are, and always plays to them - and always puts himself in the position to play to them.

Just never loses an inside contest.

[SydneyBomber]

He's right, but Mark Stevens is still a bulldogs supporting flog

Watching Richmond vs Port after our game. On the surface, it's similar to our game - a young Melbourne side getting smashed by a much better Adelaide side.

However, the big difference between the two is that Yze is actually throwing the magnets around. He knows it's a lost game so he's trying to see if any silver linings can be taken from the game and applied to future weeks.

Scott does absolutely nothing with the magnets (or makes minor moves at most like McGrath attending 1-2 centre bounces) so we can't even get anything out of our smashings.

Yze is a good coach. Was given a poisoned chalice at Richmond. It looks like his players play for him.

Because Essington wasn't a poisoned chalice for Brad was it

Essington was a gift. Yze had to apply for and was overlooked for so many senior coaching positions before the Tigers appointment. Brad walked into his current job.

Brad had Hird and Sheedy against him

Maybe but he also had the support of the people in power and, as far as I know, was approached by the club, rather than having to go through an application process. Bottom line is that we courted him rather than him having to make his case and compete against other applicants.

I think we extended his contract to protect us from ourselves.

We will have to work hard to avoid another blowout next week. Port back on track ro smash us if we serve up the same again
