Come off it… Collingwood didn’t lose the game because a bloke lost a 1v2

However, they did lose the game according to Collingwood supporters (and Maynard) because he didn’t receive a free kick in that 1v2

There are 100 others in that game that were normal free kicks but weren’t paid. It was a 50/50 at best (this doesn’t mean it was a free) and umpire did what he did entire game, play on.

 

[GO EAGLES]

I go to all the public training sessions and I am tellin ya all there is spring in the Eagles players steps like it happened in the 2010/11 pre season when they went from wooden spooners to almost winning the premiership.

Hell, we should have had a holding the ball free kick in the goal square after Darling went full Darling.

Isn’t it delicious that now when you query their own premiership win with a questionable call in the dying seconds their answer is you have to play the whistle?

Maric could hardly have a better teacher as he transforms himself into a defender. Interesting that he’s focused on building his endurance this off season which would partly explain why he doesn’t seem to have put on much bulk- although he does say he’s built on his strength as well

Going to be interesting to see how Hurn goes in a coaching role after taking a year off. I think he’ll excel

"now just remember, Ryan...long, and to the right. This concludes today's lesson."

In all seriousness though, love seeing Hurn back at the club mentoring the younguns.

Legit giving him the kickouts is the first step in utilising him properly.

If they're serious about getting the ball into his hands, given it's been reported the club rate him as one of our better kicks, he should get the first look in the first praccy game.

Pretty lame list of alternate options.

• Duggan running onto his non preferred and kicking long to the right
• Hunt running almost too far and kicking it long to the right.
• Cole running into the pocket and kicking it long to the right.

Or the more rarer alternative

- McGovern choosing to bite off a super risky kick and turning it over.

Legit flashbacks

If only there was someone who could teach Maric to kick crazy subtle angles

 

[wce4premiership]

I like it when they play on but trick everyone by going short to the right ...











.. then they get the handball receive back AND IT'S LONG TO THE RIGHT AFTER ALL!!!!

I had never thought about it but he's absolutely the best person to be taking kickouts

bro has jetta like abilities

Remember when a certain unlit predator thought that his skinny little legs were to scale?

Really need a visual library or similar where pics like that can be readily accessed, maybe a sub-thread to the Boardisms.

Who is the unit behind him?

Go Eagles, where have you been?
I agree there’s a spring in their step, finally back on track.

Of course he lost it for them, If he had been between rioli and sheed he would have been able to spoil and Collingwood would have won the game.

I was there last Wednesday and I agree. The angles have never crazier or more subtle

Jeez a bit harsh, 1st of all he had to defend against 2, and any defender worth their salt would stand where he was, trying to force the forward to lead or mark towards the boundary line, where it’s clearly a tougher shot on goal.
I don’t particularly like Maynard, in fact he has a very punchable head, but in this case there’s not a lot he could have done.

 

[Cuzz09]

plus who knows Rioli could've crumbed it and kicked a miracle goal straight after

**** maynard ends a blokes career and his punishment is getting to play in a grand final .

Privileged vic flog we all know if it was one of our players in the same position it would have been a suspension

Sorry can’t agree. I think Brayshaw was dumb! Didn’t protect himself at all.
Bit like some of the young drivers you come across today. Put themselves into perilous positions blithely and expect you to brake or swerve to avoid them. “ I don’t have to protect myself;you do it for me”!!
If it was me jumping in Maynard’s place I would have expected Brayshaw to A. Pull up.
B. Swerve to one side.
C. Drop the shoulder and brace for the hit.
D. I wouldn’t have budgeted for him running face forward with a “Hit Me” sign on his chest!

Ribbish take mate .

100% if maynard had have been decending on a team mate instead of an opponent no way he would have dropped the shoulder like that. He would have put his arms out to brace .

Brayshaw had just kicked the ball it takes a few strides to gather . He had no chance to avoid the impact .

Oh so Maynard’s not allowed to protect himself? Dunno about you mate!! but I have always gone by the motto “ brace for contact”

Yeah and if you brace for contact and hit someone in the head you are supposed to get suspended.
Considering he had to bring his arms down to brace for contact he had ample time use them to push off.

Anyone heading down to training today?

I want to hear some super controversial subjective opinions on who is TTHD and set for a breakout year?

They forget the htb that wasn't given i think in the second quarter which we should have got.
