Review Round 12 = Collingwood 82-100 Western Bulldogs

[PonsfordMagpie]

Good three quarters, but an awful last quarter that has cost us.

We just didn’t manage the minutes well unfortunately when the game was at stake.

Onto King’s Birthday now.

Nick Daicos is a Champion and our only good player we had out there tonight over 4 qtrs

Just ran out of puff in the last.

Good effort and beaten by a better team on the night.

But this umpiring was the most disgraceful I have seen. Paid them everything.

Great effort by the boys. We had nothing left to give in the last. I’m just glad no injuries.

Johnson over Kruger proved to be the blunder we all expected.

 

[Heater39]

we have reached the tipping point with injuries, the boys look cooked. Bye can’t come quick enough

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Umpires are destroying this game… that was disgusting!!
Great effort from the lads to fight against them all night

 

[eyeroller]

Under the circumstances… honestly can’t be overly critical of the performance.

I was anticipating much worse…

 

[migz]

Very very poor coaching in that last quarter. Howe should've been moved forward way earlier and someone to bont to quell his influence.

Really over us playing defensive in the last quarter.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

What is this final quarter strategy? Parking the bus? It's awful.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Threw that game away in the coaches’ box and selection table. Every single poster on this board could see that Frampton should have played back and Howe forward. Kreuger would have given a lot more than AJ for that matter.

Just a waste of a game. Clown college stuff. We can’t afford to be giving games away by putting our players in impossible positions. What happened to setting our players up to succeed? So poor.

 

[Soups]

Frustrating as hell game. You could see how bad we missed Mason today. Our game plan doesn’t work when he’s not an option out on the wing.

Unfortunately Nick couldn’t do it all, he needed more help and no one really stood up with him in the last. Bont dragged them over the line, he’s a champion.

Need these next couple of weeks to hurry up and get some players back

 

[Unknown Identity]

AJ, Bytel, Macrae should never be picked again.

Frampton is a forward.
Markov is a defender.

Great games from Nick, Lachie, Cameron, Crisp.

 

[Dubaimagpie]

Not having a key forward cost us.

Missed Pendles leadership too.

What the hell was that last qtr? Did we get the thing inside 50? Senior players AWOL, kids did their best.

 

[Daniel J]

Too many stupid free kicks given away up forward and disastrous goal kicking cost us in the first.

 

[bucksisbest]

Deserved that. They have major injuries too.

The first quarter is the lack of ruthlessness this group has when in control. The last quarter is this group going into their shell when challenged late.

This is happening consistently regardless of personnel.

 

[carndapies]

Gallant effort by our players. So many outs for us (even compared to the dogs outs). Once we get our players back we will roll them soft pricks

 

[unplugged]

I expected to lose by a few goals but we should've been 6 goals up in that first quarter. And subbing off Noble instead of AJ lol.

Oh well. ottno. Brave effort if nothing else.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Way too cute with personal and positioning.

Could we have not moved Frampton back and put Howe or Moore forward? Amongst several other moves everyone mentioned.

There are a heap of players not up to the level; AJ, Fin, Bytel, Dean

A few played out of position; Frampton, Markov

Noble directly cost a few goals and our captain has barely played well since halfway through last year.

 

[Sea fog]

The Bont and Treloar had a field day. Who was on them?????????

 

[partypie]

Not good enough tonight, we had our chances and didn't take them early which is simply unacceptable at this point. Throw in three stupid mistakes from players who should know better that directly led to goals and there's the difference in the game.

This was a real swing game for us tonight, we just about can kiss a top 4 spot goodbye now I reckon as we're going to be battling for a few more weeks yet with our injury list, especially after giving up 1.5 wins we should have had in the past two matches.

In the end bad kicking is bad football and right now it's undoing a lot of the good football stuff we've otherwise been maintaining fairly well to this point. If we can't fix it then we're going nowhere this year, and it really is on the individual players to go back and convert the fairly straightforward chances that they're paid to convert.

He is a champion and great first half.

Last quarter was hold my beer stuff from Bontempelli.

 

[Soups]

**** it would be nice having a young gun tall forward

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Final quarter fade out 3 weeks in a row is a bit worrying...

Otherwise eh. The forward line is so undermanned that we had to play Frampton down there, which hurt the backline.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

I’m not copping this ‘good effort considering’ crap.

Where were the changes during the game when it became clear several players were struggling in their new positions?
