Autopsy Round 11 = Collingwood 51-61 Geelong

[Bussie]

Just in regards to Grundy's neck, I'm a little bit of an expert here, I've had spinal surgery on my neck recently. C5/C6 Anterior cervical discectomy/decompression and fusion.
On the radio they said he was having pain down his arms, tells me he's punched a nerve around the same spot. (c5/c6 pick up sticks) If it's damaged enough, it will need surgery or at least a nerve root block injection, takes the nerve pain away and tells the surgeons it's the right spot. At the very least he will require some ongoing physio, if surgery is required he could be out for a while. Mine was wear and tear, not an impact injury.
If it's pinched hard enough and he gets a whip like action of his head again, he could end up paralysed in one arm or both. I'm sure Brodie and the club will take the right approach, it's not a lot of fun and the surgery benefited me but 18 months later and I'm still not right, probably will never be the same but it happens.
I really hope it's nothing and I'm being overly dramatic, but I know the feeling.
It causes all sorts of spasms and referred pain, numbness and tingling in your hands and you basically end up dropping everything you try and pick up.

When the MCG looked like this.

from what the reporter said on the radio, he’s aggravated an old injury

 

[ipswichpies]

I doubt that very much. Far more likely that the players acted under the coaches instructions.

Maybe so but why take 3 qtrs to change it up that I do not understand. Buck,s I think may not have seen the week out on the first 3 qtrs and if we had someone other than Harvey Or Sanderson to play caretaker for the remainder of the season and none of us want see that.

 

[Everybody Panic]

Hawk won it for them. Our 2nd most experienced player missed a snap from 20 out right in front with us starting to take the game on.

So many momentum killers, and more often than not it's our leaders.

It changed after half time when JDG went in the middle and we handballed more. We just didn’t kick straight.

Didn't he have a neck injury at training a couple of years ago?

The commentators literally spoke about how you could hear the bench screaming to use the corridor in the 3rd. Pies were clearly on top in Q3 just couldn't finish.

So this is what it’s come to. Play the ugliest slowest defensive shut down footy that you can and then hope you’re close enough to do a Steve Bradbury and steal a win. Might work one week in six. Bucks trying to keep his job whilst this club wallows in mediocrity. When honorable losses become the target then we are in for a decade of misery.

 

[TradeDraft]

Yeah did it at Training.

Sadly I think Grundy be out until after the Bye

Spot On Bucks trying to save his Job but making us Worse by Doing so

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Very odd game with the last quarter being a positive. Only one goal up until 3QT, but we managed to only lose by 10 points in the end.

Bianco was great on his debut. JDG was solid in the second half.

Still a lot of fundamental issues plague the team, but that won’t change for a while.

Hope Grundy is okay after sustaining a grundy.neck injury.

I would like to see Cameron in the first ruck spot for a few weeks. I think he is more useful around the ground with his strong marking and the team performed better without Grundy. Bring Cox in as 2nd ruck/forward.

 

[danielnajdek]

Why wouldn’t I? He’s the guy who instructs the players.

So when we kick it backwards and sideways that’s Bucks instructing them right?

 

[Piestration]

Yeah did it at Training.

We played better and more free flowing when he went off.

 

[Apples]

A couple of things and obviously I'm not a coach or strategist, but why are so many people in here criticising the game plan? The game style was awful to watch, but I dare say it was thought to be the only way we could keep them to a low score and give ourselves a chance to kick a superior one. I call that sensible coaching. So far this ugly style has prevented us from being embarrassed like St.Kilda was last week. I'm sticking with my glass half full.

 

[partypie]

OMG my grandmother has got more mongel than him and football smarts as well

Did she nominate for the MSD, because we can make a third selection if needs be?

What about Grundy play more as a Forward?

But makes us Worse and no Development for Younger Players.

Bucks only doing it to Try Save his Job but making things Worse not Better

No Plan for Future

 

[DinoSoar]

That’s about all we can say, I’ve got nothing else.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Bianco, Degoey, sier positives. Keep sier in ffs, all season. Cameron tried hard.

c brown, Madgen what can you say. Just a joke now tbh. Just a broken record

when we take the game on we look good. Just under bucks it only happens when the games lost, rather than there to be won.


Positives and negatives. Bring on the MSD!

I cop a lot of shit for my support of Sier, but he never lets me down when he plays. Bolsters my ego when everyone else writes him off or puts him down. Makes me think I am a better judge of players than I thought.

 

[jmac70]

Correct.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Pathetic post.

Don't be such a soft ****.

 

[danielnajdek]

Correct.

So in other words the low scoring boring game style is because Bucks is telling them to play that way.

 

[Magnanimous]

Any chance Grundy retires?

Yeah probably like Swan and Langdon and we have to pay the contract out.
Fair enough too, not Grundy’s fault they signed so long.

Hope he is okay, is one of the tryers week in and out.
