[carlton_99]

Nice kick from LOB

 

[BigFrizz36]

Kennedy still going strong, Fisher still slippery

As sure as night follows day..

 

[Neese]

Winners

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Come on Doc. Ice this thing.

 

[FRUMPY]

Nice kick from LOB

its what he needs to do, its his main weapon but too often misses them

 

[skadoosh]

Any word on Cripps?

 

[Rustica]

lids off

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Pretty good hit out.

Motlop, Acres look good for Round One.

Cowan a chance.

 

[FRUMPY]

nice first hit out - both sides looked well off their best as you'd expect.

move on to next one vs swans.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Some worrying signs as far as closing out the game. Can't read too much into a practice match, but that would definitely be something we targeted to improve on.

 

[Neese]

Good hit out. Lots to work on, lots to like.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Cincotta
Acres
Motlop
Cowan
Hollands
De Koning

 

[carlton_99]

Anyone see this?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Would be good to have the disposal stats and time on ground.

 

[Jatz]

Some worrying signs as far as closing out the game. Can't read too much into a practice match, but that would definitely be something we targeted to improve on.

Could be fitness related, rather than structurally. More concerned with the second quarter run than the one at the end.

Gotta remember they did play with the 3 extra players

 

[FRUMPY]

im tipping kennedy wont be playing any game time in the ressies - played the full game

 

[RPCB]

Anyone see this?

Yeah, he limped off pretty quickly and didn’t look like much of a struggle.

30 degrees as well..

 

[thebluenewdeal]

Look at the filth thinking they were a chance to win it again. Not this time muchacho

 

[JuddgementDay]

Cincotta
Acres
Motlop
Cowan
Hollands
De Koning

Yeah all of these guys played well

You would think only one of Hollands, Cincotta and Cowan for RD1? Just on this match, I like Hollands the most

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Good enough for a first hitout.
Hollands, Cowan and Cincotta all looked good and did nice things at times.

 

[Jimmae]

What's with these handballs to a player immediately under pressure?

Welcome to 90% of our contested footy over the last 10-15 years... part of Collingwood's blueprint since the Malthouse era has been about clean hands and reliable spread from the contest.

McRae has just leant into that more than ever, and plays disciplined counter-attacking football, they just need to have a plan for finals scenarios when they need to take control of the game instead of letting the game come to them.

SOS has had an almost game today. Still very much best 22 in my eyes.

Almost game in front of goal only... fantastic otherwise.

 

[carlton_99]

Yeah, he limped off pretty quickly and didn’t look like much of a struggle.

Ah okay hopefully nothing. One thing we needed from this is no injuries

 

[Aphrodite]

Just got home from Chaddy.

Good win (I know I know it's only a practise match)
