Game Day Rd 10 - Collingwood @ Optus

[Kings of the State]

Check my profile, been active all year mate, no one’s allowed to disagree with you though are they?

Hrmm smells like double standards to me. Served a one day ban for this very thing.

But nar, I'm just a troll apparently.

 

[Wilksyy]

Haha , Pies @ +23.5 money for jam

I might throw in my job tomorrow and pile up my cash waiting for wet Perth winter days

What was the return? Never those odds all week on the spread

 

[splintss]

Put the lid back on.

 

[MadMundy]

Who's been worse

Lobb, Freddy, Walters, Colyer, Pearce, Taberner, Schultz

I could go on mate.

Concerned when JLo said we didn’t need to change our game too much cos of the wet… justifying the inside 50’s from last week

Well guess what JLo… ya wrong

WE LOST EVERY GAME LAST YEAR WHEN IT WAS WET. I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE 0-5.

NOW ITS 0-1 WITH A COMING LOSE.

JLO NEEDS TO WAKE UP TO HIMSELF IF HE SAID THAT.

 

[FreoRicci]

Yes, Freddy is beyond useless so far. Same as Colyer.

Chapman not great in the wet either.

Bsnfield. Schulz. The whole ****ing small forward line

 

[Mr Cheese]

This is an odd game. I would've liked the umps to be a bit more on the whistle with the hacking off the floor. Several times a Freo player had his head over the ball and it was hacked away dangerously. Would've cut some of it out.

They're hunting the ball and spreading really well, and we're just not clean. Outside of a couple of dumb**** moments though, the only area we're not connecting is i50.

The hope is they'll tire and we'll be able to press more, but really got to get one between the sticks or this'll be a long afternoon.

Biggest problem is that we are getting killed when the ball hits the deck. Collingwood are just cleaner and run away with it with ease.

 

[largebus]

We need to do some training sessions under overhead sprinklers.

Freo: Whole team plays like shit

This board: It's Banfield's fault.

Its not Banfields fault its the **ckwits that select him.

 

[Righteo]

At the game. Disappointing. Our game style doesn’t hold up in the wet. More concerning is that we thought it could.

The sideways spread off half back has been embarrassing to watch.

I still hold hope.

Lol no shit, glad you've finally come around to the bleeding obvious.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Because we play so dumb, overuse of the handball and short kicks. Pies are just surging it forward as long as they can, you know wet weather footy

And these pissy little kicks actually give them time time to set up back half

It feels like whoever we play against a team with good tall defenders, we fold, as we have Fck all forwards to worry them

Why this overuse with the ball? Why not just get it forward. The problem is we’re launching high balls for another freaking spare defender to easily intercept.
First Collins last week
Now Moore

 

[E Shed]

I fear we've been worked out. Teams are taking us apart easily now after a period where we looked impenetrable.
Gotta start bringing it back through the corridor or we're screwed. Take some chances.
Disappointing.

 

[MrDanggazz]

Freddy and Banfield been nothing but passengers so far this year and we are still missing Fyfe big time on ball.

Young asking for a handball or kick 15m lateral shits me.

 

[trentjac]

Walters with another dropped mark.

Giving Nic Nat a run for his money

 

[Kapow!!!]

He’s got going a bit but he does get the superstar tag whacked on him ad nauseam without ever really doing too much

Fair, I guess I'm not holding him to those standards. He's a good player with potential to be great in a number of years time

Ground ball gets, we struggle to win the ball and get it forward cleanly, while suns last week and pies this week having no such trouble.

On a different note I feel like Darcy isnt giving us much this year?

I’ll be amazed the day that Frederick doesn’t two grab at a ground ball.

 

[Cobbler]

Lol no shit, glad you've finally come around to the bleeding obvious.

Well I knew. I just assumed we change from last week. We didn’t. It’s literally identical. Only difference is we are winning the contested and clearances so there’s still hope.

Logue -29m in the wet.

And it makes sense sometimes cos of his good kick. But it halts all momentum in our forward line, they simply fold back and flood

We have absolutely no players who can create goals. Speed of ball movement can cover up the lack of forward talent. Sturt might be ‘an offensive only player’ JL but sometimes you actually need that in a player.

Stupid football in the conditions combined lack of forward talent and we have this as a result

This is the core issue. Lack of natural goal-kickers. Also lacking one-touch players which gets exacerbated to comical effect in the wet. Freddy is the worst culprit, but others poor too - Chapman, Colyer both far too fumbly

 

[_007_]

If we are serious we should still win this game from here, wet or not.

 

[Scham]

Tellingly, Walters and Banfield, two small forwards have had 9 disposals between them and moved the ball absolutely nowhere!!! 0 metres gained from 9 disposals!!! From forwards!!! What the **** are you doing Graham!!!
