Toast Round 13 = Collingwood 89-51 Melbourne

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Right in front of me… definitely intended. Was surprised how under sold it was by the commentators when watching the highlights.

Yeah they all thought it was accidental but the replay suggested it was deliberate. Thanks for the eye witness verification. Amazing really

So did Melbourne win the expected scores KB clash?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

We play Melbourne again in Rd 24, bring it on.

Jeeeeeezus ! Imagine if they keep up their current form until then?

Delicious.

Apparently if they were just more accurate in front of goal, it would have been a lot closer .. too bad the ball goes back in the middle after a goal and we were winning the clearances

Imagine knocking them out of finals contention then - a tasty appetiser for what's to come over the finals period.

That would be sweet. They’ll still play expected finals though

 

[barrackers]

Tweak I'd make is the kicker needs to start from the 'kicking over the mark' position, not the position he ends up after a mark or free kick, particularly as the man on the mark is either 5 meters back or bolted to the turf. This still, fairly, advantages the side with the ball.
Of course, if play is continuous, then go for your life.

Simply allow players on the mark to move forward or back, but not sideways. Would achieve much the same as the stand rule, but eliminate a lot of confusion

Note to rest of competition…its a great idea to tag Naicos and restrict him from not getting three brownlow votes, especially if it takes one of your best players to do it.

Even better when Pendlebury, Degoey and Mitchell are back.

Naicos played better than most of the Melbourne players and he was only on for three quarters.

Keep on taggin!’

7 clearances tells me he was one of our best. A goal as well.

If they keep on this trajectory I can't imagine they'd be anywhere near qualifying for finals ..

I was thinking more about our percentage & just pure enjoyment for us.

 

[Pie eyed]

Didn’t they already beat us there by 33 points when we had a relatively full strength team?

They beat us in the "round Zero" moron fiesta.
meaningless shit which should have been Collingwood v Brisbane in round one.
Not the AFL's stillborn love child.

Even Pies vs. Brisbane in round zero would have made some sense.

We played Giants in round zero not Swans. They were the following week.

 

[No SPIN]

Bobby is getting a lot more attention this year. Just like Nick.

But it just opens up more opportunities for guys like HH, or macrae.

And kicks attention is opening up gaps for Crisp and Lippa, Josh etc. they can’t tag all of them…

Loved Bobby’s strong arm fend off, that left Pickett stunned and flaying on the ground.

We could do to them what we did to the scum in 2022.
Mmmm, nice!

Still should have been Brisvegas.

(keep in mind I'm old and drink way too much in years Collingwood is reigning Premier and years they are not.)

 

[Pie eyed]

Don’t really care what Luke Hodge thinks.

Melbourne should have beatens us, given what's on the line and our injury list.
Testament to Fly's hoodoo.
He's got the boys believin they can fly.

That's a thing!

 

[Geek]

and not a hair out of place

If you go to 11:40 remaining in the 3rd, you'll see how Beavis gels his hair to keep it so set.

Yeah he gives that nose a fairly decent workover before cleaning his hands on his strands.

 

[VinnieB]

Speaking of chemistry, would it the lack of Joel Smith and some quality coke? Gawn seems the only one to cope without it

Gawn's probably the puppet master.

Agree. This Nick was well beaten story is just rubbish. Melbourne actually wasted one of their best players on him, weakening their midfield to compete against the rest of our players

Yep. It meant we had a spare defender the whole time Bullen was on Nick. Played right into our hands.

Thanks Goody. Bruz & co loved it.

 

[76woodenspooners]

Gee, Melbourne will surely feel very nervous whenever they play us. In our last two games two of their best players have either ended up medically retired or in hospital.

if they cant make the 8, they might go the knuckle

 

[sr36]

Whilst we hate it when players get called on the rule, I reckon its effect is a net gain. Promotes faster ball movement by allowing the kicker to run around the man on the mark. It's a good rule.

The big improvement is they can hit it flat to a teammate without having to kick it over the man on the mark.

 

[NMBB]

In a way our injuries might be a long term blessing - banged up bodies get a rest before the home stretch then (hopefully) final's. .... .. Pendles, JDG, Checkers etc
