Autopsy Rd 15 v Collingwood Post Match Discussion

[JuddsABlue]

And for the love of God can someone teach Casboult how to kick a footy!!!!!

His kicking has improved greatly, I dont remember any horrid misses recently besides the one tonight, but Henderson missed an easier one as well

Casbolt and Menz are the finds of the year for us

Yarren and Gibbs are the improvements of the year

 

[JuddgementDay]

Dont know what it is this year... but we just struggle with clutch moments

 

[BlackGoanna]

Easy to point the finger at the players who consistently stuff up. But the question then to ask is why does Mick continue to play them? We are not a finals contender nor are we lacking player numbers. There is no plausible rationale

Agree, direct you anger at the MC and previous administrators

 

[rp84]

Waite would have been handy tonight...

T word ?

You mean he would buck the trend of his whole season and be handy?

 

[Fernando2Gibbs]

We have struggled with clutch moments since 2001.

 

[LanceRomance]

Well, he injured his hip. So I reckon....

We have struggled with clutch moments since 2001.

2011 we were ok.

semi aside.

 

[Red Bull]

The thing I like about Daisy is his work rate - he really tries hard and his contribution is improving. If others mirrored his work rate we'd be winning games!!

He's on a lot of coin for work rate !!

Don't forget those non-clutch moments we struggled with too.

Exactly.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Positives: hendo showed some form, Yarran was sublime.

Lowlights: we can not kick clutch goals. Murphy's effort was woeful. Casboult and Hendo soon afterwards very poor. And I never for a minute thought they would kick them because that's what we do.

Sidebottoms red time goal was equal low moment for me, along with Eds turnover at the death. But he felt even worse than i did poor bugger.

Murphy was scragged all game by a guy who never even looked sideways at the ball. I hate that kind of tagger. Murph battled hard and i thought did show grit.

I miss the days when umpires paid free kicks. Two blatant pushes in the back cost us two goals. Umps right there too.

Maclean is gone. He is a better player than he is showing but that is no excuse. Army should go right to the back of the line of depth players now too.

All in all we are a shambles.

Nail on the head there with the bolded.

Murphys and Hendos really killed us. Both of those misses the Pies went coast to coast to kick a goal. So instead of us having 2 goals on the board, the pies do. That is a 4 goal turn around.

I dare say if we had of kicked those we would have won.

 

[Cringle]

I have now seen it all.

I'm sure you haven't seen Brock McSpeed cover 100m in less than 4 minutes.

 

[Blue Heart]

Surely Mick knows. Just can't do anything at the end of the year, except play a Graham and Johnson again.

Is there any other untried players in the VFL worth a look in the 1sts ? How about Temay and Holman ?
How far away are Buckley and Cripps being fit enough to start playing again ?

 

[Big Sim]

W

Alker has gone backwards at an alarming rate over the past 2 years

Second in best and fairest last year. Dementia or just ignorance?

 

[Dramoth]

sooner the kernahan-swann-hughes era ends the better

let the changes begin!

piss off... Kernahan and Swann had nothing to do with some of the players we have running around out there... you would have a lot more positive responses if you had said the sooner the Ratten-Hughes era is washed away the better.

 

[Blues in 3 yrs.]

There has to be someone better than McLean running around in the magoos?

 

[Dramoth]

There has to be someone better than McLean running around in the magoos?

Graham or Holman... or even Temay!

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Jeez Johnson can kick.

Ps collingwood supporters are in a league of their own when it comes to intimidating young carlton women walking alone through the city. Pigs.

 

[Gavstar]

Work rate and trying for $700k/year stop making excuses.

 

[Fernando2Gibbs]

Well, he injured his hip. So I reckon....





2011 we were ok.

semi aside.

Before that game I used to be so upset when we lost....after flying over for the game nothing will ever compare, im still numb.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Graham or Holman... or even Temay!

Add Bell to that list.

 

[kingkingston]

time for Chris Yarran to be released in to the midfield

 

[Bell Ringer]

Just seen the official crowd and less than 41 thousand

Hopefully puts an end to this Sunday night rubbish

I predicted lowest since the MCG redevelopment. Wasn't expecting 41k though!

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Add Bell to that list.

Still injured

4) I love Murphy but the captaincy has to be taken off of him and given to Gibbs. Murphy is not a leader, he is a great player but not a leader. Today he had an ordinary game because he was heavily tagged, but the thing that makes a captain is the ability to take any chance that comes his way and show the team the way it should be done. That shot he had in the 3rd quarter needed a captains goal and it wasn't that hard a shot to have. He couldn't even make the distance at a time when it was incumbent upon him as captain to lead the way.

Disagree entirely !!

Murphy should stay captain for the length of his career, there is nothing to be gained from standing him down now.

Seeing as the club has signed Gibbs up for 5-years, elevate him to the vice-captaincy role.

Two of our No. 1 draft picks are our two main on-field leaders, its a good thing for the supporters and the club overall.

 

[Blue since 72]

My view is we need to keep on losing so the Board and coach wake up to the fact we're not good enough! If we continue to get close but no cigar the 'going in right direction' rhetoric will also continue. Five losses in a row should be a wake up call but why do I suspect it won't be.

Pretty sure the board and coach know we're not good enough.
