Game Day Pies v Hawthorn, 5 August, 4.35pm, MCG

[Jelly Bean]

How was our midfield good most of the year then crap the last 2 weeks?

Because they tagged Nick Daicos.

But in truth, our midfield as a whole hasn't been great all year

 

[Piewithsauce13]

Pendles looks f****ing knackered.

Not fair how much we are asking him to do at this stage. It’s on the others to lift. He should be sitting in our forward line directing them and kicking snags!

 

[Frogs]

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a game whereby I couldn’t name one decent Collingwood player

McCreery has been solid

 

[TW Sherrin]

Our players appear so small across the board when compared with their opponents

I made same point during the week but the overwhelming view was that it's a myth

 

[Kes1984]

He is so slow and such a liability at times

He’s a risk of doing a buddy and making everyone forget how good you once were.

 

[manicpie]

Be honest, we're ****ed aren't we?

 

[anshell]

Worst loss since round 9 last year,no doubt about it.

 

[Roverjg]

Has not been the same since his hammy

He was poor for 3 weeks prior to that

As Lyon said, too many trying to get in the end of play, rather than get their hands dirty.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

One positive is that the AJ lovers get further evidence that he's useless in high pressure games

With him and Mihochek as our alternative tall forwards, we are well and truly stuffed.

 

[Magnanimous]

Take our backline cohesion away and it looks pretty average...
When will we get a KPD FFS and actually give him a game.

Maybe we're just tired from Fly getting the boys to take the stairs instead of the escalator all the time.

 

[Go Woods]

I bet McRae says something like "yeah, walk in the doors Monday and you won't be able to tell if it was a win or a loss"...

Time for him to bunker down and just say it as it is, we stink at the moment and have become to complacent. I would be dropping Lipinski & Adams.
Fin Macrae deserves a call up as does Ginni.

 

[TW Sherrin]

To think I was chuckling at Essendon today

 

[Chameleon75]

Some people are never happier than when they are miserable

 

[cwoodgal]

This loss is on fly as well not just the players

Isn't Finn out with a busted hand?

 

[barrackers]

Wouldn’t have believed we’d start a centre bounce with Crisp, McCreery and Maynard as our 3 mids at the start of the night

It is our Midfield they are just horrific

Good reason to be miserable today. Good luck to you if you can find anything in this game to create some happiness or optimism.

Fly is too conservative. Refused to play youth all year in favour of breeding complacency in the seniors as well as burning them out. Leaving players like Ginni, Macrae etc to rot in the seconds.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

I thought last week might have been a blind, nope!
This is worrying, no heart or fight.
I haven’t said this about the club under Mcrae, but serious questions need to be asked of this playing group.

 

[Markfs]

Absolutely embarrassing…Mitchell outcoached Fly today by a mile. I wanted Mitchell as our coach originally and now stating to think I was right…no premiership for us this year sadly.

Number 1 priority against Hawthorn is stopping Sicily and Fly was arrogant enough to do NOTHING to stop him.

Dacios should have started half back or half forward but instead let him get absorbed by the tag.

The fly isnt a coach...he's just a comic doing his day job. We need to ditch this bum quick smart and get someone competent. He consistently misjudges footballers - Lipinski, Johnson, Cox and about half the rest of the team. You need a man's man for a coach, not this wimp...

 

[Ugene41]

He’s a risk of doing a buddy and making everyone forget how good you once were.

What? He was our only midfielder that had any sort of impact

 

[Fat Jesus]

Turned it off, if the players don’t want to put the effort in why should the supporters!
The club has given plentyof highs this year but if they decide not to turn up 2 weeks in a row why should I invest!

Well don't then. I will
