We were soundly beaten. Turned the ball over. Continually kicked to contests outnumbered on the wing. Missed tackles we should have stuck. Wouldn't work hard to provide a target to link through. I can't think of many who actually won their position on the ground. One of our worst efforts in many many years.
Paul Seedsman - 34 possessions, hard at it, broke the lines, presented the only guy to truly fire a shot. Showed plenty of spirit when the rest of the team was roundly beaten. That's characted. Big positive out of the game.
Sammy Dwyer - Worked into good offensive positions all day and was our only dangerous forward for the night. Very polished with ball in hand. Kicked a 2 or 3 from memory.
Scott Pendlebury - The only midfielder that really did anything. He had a hard night of it because no one wanted to play with him. Not his most accomplished performance but tried.
Ben Hudson - I thought he beat Lobbe in the ruck but I haven't seen the stats. Certainly seemed to win plenty of hitouts. It's a shame he had no support from midfield.
Harry O'Brien - Another who had a go. Was under a lot of pressure at times but was fearless and pretty effective.
Jamie Elliott - What a mark! I haven't seen a Collingwood player take a screamer in a while. Will be in the seasons highlights. Otherwise a tough night for Billy but not our worst.
Dane Swan - Worst game in 6 or 7 years. There was a moment when he was forward crumbing off Cloke, lost out badly but was standing grimacing with hands on hips after the contest. I thought then that he has to be injured. The contest was nothing and he just didn't look right.
Nich Maxwell - 28 possessions. Didn't do a lot with them.
Brent Macaffer - Played on Wingard who took him to the cleaners. I have never seen him turn the ball over so much. Really bad game from the Caff.
Marley Williams - Hard, quick, tough and burnt the ball. Not good, not bad.
Josh Thomas / Kyle Martin / Jarryd Blair and the rest of the support midfield cast - Got shown how to play the game by a harder and more talented Port midfield. Boak, Hartley, Wines among others tore them up. Really concerning.
Heath Shaw - Gave away some cheap goals that really hurt us. Other times was pretty sound. Inconsistent game from him.
Quinten Lynch - Offerring us sweet FA since his first three rounds. Would be in the selection firing line.
Steele Sidebottom - Made good positions but badly butchered the ball. Frustrating watching him be the goalsquare target. It was Blair from last year all over again.
The rest from memory all lost out in their respective positions from memory but happy to be corrected.

You have to be kidding. Over rated and soft as butter.

Who were the direct opponents on Boak, Hartley, Wines and Broadbent. They have a lot to answer for.

Thanks very much, Quicky. I was only able to listen on the radio so appreciate somebody giving some in depth comments, however painful it might have been.

28 touches in a midfield group that was getting spanked. Pendlebury had no one to play off/with. Just because he isn't a bash crash midfielder doesn't make him soft. He wasn't great but one of our best. Have to agree to disagree I guess.

This was the worst assignment Bucks couldve possibly given him... an outside type that playes off a HFF. Why not Boak or Broadbent, who are similar to the types that the Caff has actually played on? I was properly irritated by this.
Was fairly happy with Williams' efforts.
Seedsmans was good as he has been lately.
Shaw gave it a huge crack despite a few mistakes
Cloke put in a good shift despite being robbed by the umpires
The midfield group was a disgrace and everyone that I didn't mention were passengers including O'Brien who has turned into a massive showboater

Honestly I thought it was one of Heaters worst games I've seen him play.

Yeah so was I. I thought he should have gone to Harlett or Boak myself. I wanted to see Williams on Wingard myself. Sinclair on Neade.

Williams on Wingard wouldve made a lot more sense.. he's very strong one on one, has good pace and is naturally a defensive minded player. As POKsPies252 said, we made the same mistake putting him on Griffin.. just because he's adopted the role of "tagger" doesnt make him the panacea for every player in the competition
Ain't hard to get a touch when you stand out of every contest and wait for a team mate to give it to you. And he is not alone.

You need different types to have a good balance. Pendlebury isn't a bulldog. We are missing Beams and an in form Swan badly. They would compliment Pendlebury perfectly. Pendlebury is silk and class in close. A player in the league with better spatial awareness doesn't exist. I think you are expecting Pendlebury to be a player he's not and failing to respect the quality player he is.

I'm mesmerized by Blaze's avatar, but I feel like I'm cheating on Seedsman.

It sure sounds like it. Even the normally even-tempered posters are fuming.
It sure seems like a turning point of one kind or another.
