Review Round 17 = Collingwood 80-92 Essendon

[PonsfordMagpie]

Very disappointing result.

Think our top 4 hopes are gone and we’ll be fighting for a spot in the bottom half of the 8 now.

 

[Jekyll and Hyde]

We’ll be out of the 8 by the end of the round.

 

[gouki88]

We’re cooked

 

[Rusty Beam]

We are a team of downhill skiers with no defensive accountability at the moment unfortunately.

Not sure if it’s gameplan or player intent. But it’s horrible.

 

[Heater39]

Worst loss of the year. That game was vital for our top 4 hopes and we didn’t fire a shot for 2 and a half quarters. The margin flattered us too

 

[hellfire]

Not sure if it’s the flag last year or how busy my life is at the moment, but I turned it off early in the last and don’t really care. We’re not a contender and I’m at peace with it.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

I see no reason I should be pant deficient.

 

[Soups]

Tough one to watch.

Bombers ran us off our feet and deserved the win.

Got a lot of hard work infront of us if we want to play finals.

 

[Dubaimagpie]

Didn’t deserve to win and don’t deserve to be in the 8. Worst performance.

And to think we were supposed to hit the ground running after the bye.

I hope they enjoyed the extra days on the Gold Coast

We’ll beat Geelong next week and then probably won’t win another game for the rest of the season after that

I could handle us falling off the cliff after a premiership if we at least had a first round pick to look forward to help us quickly rejuvenate.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

That’s it, season is done.
This side is totally content on resting on its 1 flag.
So many players just going through the motions.
The flag was amazing last year, but that’s last year.
This year, the players are not hungry, which is really disappointing

 

[ThePhantom777]

Played 1 quarter of quality, pressure football then wilted for the last 3.

Carrying too many players.

Apart from heat of the moment frustration at moments during games, it's much easier to take given we got the job done last year.

If we lost the grand final last season this season would destroy me.

Wrighty would’ve come back from holiday and traded it anyway

 

[Visions]

Apart from their sub, we had the 12 lowest possession players on the ground.

Just couldnt get near it, no pressure, pathetic.

With our run home, wont make the 8.

 

[Seedsman_]

The evidence is mounting that our fitness is a massive issue and is a key reason that we can’t play four quarters. The talk of having 40% more running and training volume in the preseason is just that, talk. We were fitter, stronger and harder last season.

The only positive was that Ned Long showed signs that he will be a player.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

Ignore the scoreboard, that was the worst loss of the season. Had a chance to make a statement for top 4 and failed big time. Now top 8 is looking in doubt.

 

[Hardas]

I see no reason I should be pant deficient.

Come on, OA...
You KNOW you can.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

I could handle us falling off the cliff after a premiership if we at least had a first round pick to look forward to help us quickly rejuvenate.

Our first round pick was really good tonight, another solid sub 10 possession game.
Totally over paid for that bloke in the number 8

 

[JLC]

Worse loss of the season to lose to a rubbish team like Essendon.

Too many players drinking their own bath water.

Lipinski, Markov need to go. Markov is so bloody indecisive.

The pressure up forward is non existent.

Fly needs to make a statement and drop a big name or two. Give me hungry players.

 

[Axl the great]

You get what you tolerate, I’m praying Fly doesn’t tolerate this crap.
And if he attributes everything to aBombers pressure in his presser I think I’ll be sick.

 

[cwoodgal]

Pack up and reset for next year, we ain't doing jack sh1t this year. Too many injuries, no hunger, game plan worked out.

So glad we won it last year

I hope Checkers isn't injured.

 

[Doc1763]

Absolutely disgusting performance. Can't think of a player who can hold their head up.
Back to back is pretty much shot.
Don't know what the hell has happened since the Melbourne game but we have been putrid since then.
Really, that should be 2 losses in a row.
Can't see us making the 8, let alone the top 4 from here.
