Review Round 17 = Collingwood 80-92 Essendon

[Seedsman_]

He did more in his short game time than the majority of the other 22 players outside Nick

Why he started as the sub is beyond me

Coaches have been making some baffling decisions around the sub

They don’t use it properly at all

We haven’t had much of his type playing this season as Mitchell and Jordy have been out. Sullivan isn’t the answer either. It made sense to start him.

For another small forward or small defender most likely.

At this rate hawthorn will finish above us and we would've paid them to take Ginnivan whilst throwing away our first rounder.

We could’ve had Blake Hardwick instead

Can anyone enlighten me as to why Dean was subbed off?

AFL app (not the most reliable source) said he was subbed due to injury.

Pies Twitter account said it was tactical :/

Worst game of the year.So much at stake and the players just gave up up after quarter time.The hunger just isn’t there,the players just aren’t working hard enough.You could tell by how we were completely outnumbered at every contest after quarter time.Oh well,,at least we won the premiership last year.We obviously don’t do dynasties like other clubs do,See you in about 2040.

The app says subbed/injury so not sure if he was injured or not.

Ideally Howe would’ve gone back, Moore forward and Long on for Richards.

[TW Sherrin]

Nick went at 42%, lowest on the ground.

25% DE in the last quarter.

Has to be better way to use him.

 

[cwoodgal]

Honestly and I mean this sincerely it’s looking a lot like he does tolerate this crap.

They’ve been serving this up all year. Although various people around here refused to see it simply because the pies scraped over the line in close ones.

The pies have dominated nobody all year. Nobody. They’ve been consistent underperformers and show limited glimpses of effort which is quickly erased the moment they do their usual shit the bed routine.

I always said he lacked a bit of ruthlessness, great guy love him and everything he has done but I wish he had a bit more Malthouse to him

Was good to see the players and coaches taking our flailing season seriously by letting the players spend extra time on the Gold Coast after a loss on a 6 day break as opposed to doing the more logical thing and going up to the Gold Coast earlier during the bye week to get their sun and fun

What kind of clown show are we running over there?

This did smell a bit to me. 2 holiday breaks in 2 weeks, with 2 months left to go?

 

[sr36]

That was like basketball. Forwards rolled back too defensively and let Essendon just chip their way forward without any pressure at all. Just didn't force them to kick it to a contest all night.

Had 31 but probably his worst game of the season

It seemed either naive or arrogant on our behalf

 

[Chrispiesssss]

We conceded 18 Inside 50 marks.

 

[frizzle]

You can’t concede 139 marks to the opposition & fair dinkum say you are legitimately trying to get the footy off them. We allow our opponents to own the football & hope they turn it over rather than us making them do so. We have become easy to play against.

 

[bucksisbest]

Why would they play IQ on a wing? Our backline was a Shadow of itself tonight. They took so many marks inside 50 over the back of the defenders it was crazy.

Maybe they were trying to hide him somewhere else this week?

Wasn't markedly worse than he has been.

 

[Monco Matt]

I have come up with a genius way out of these diabolical performances which might be to treat every qtr like a mini full game. Hear me out here.

As we know (generally) we tend to try to play well in the first qtr, then do nothing in the 2nd and 3rd then play well in the last to steal the win. However, this is not getting the job done anymore. So, how about for every qtr we play furious for the first 5 min (+2 goals), then hold off for 10 min (-3 goals) then furious for the last 5 min (+2 goals). Using this pattern of effort I can see us turning things around and winning every qtr by 1 goal which equates to a 4 goal win.

Could at least try it, can't hurt. At least every qtr will be worth watching again.

 

[Mollythedolly]

I see no reason I should be pant deficient.

The most damning assessment I’ve read on BF of any of our performances this year. Now I’m worried.

 

[Rooosterboy]

P.s
Can I cancel my Kayo account now,? I'd hate to give Rupe more then I had to...

 

[bucksisbest]

Anybody who thinks this isn’t a pattern of behaviour now is kidding themselves. It’s been on display all year.

Collingwood consistently plays 1 good quarter and proceeds to shit the bed. Every week.

It's been staring us in the face for a long time.

Haven't evolved as a side.

You still have a functioning TV?

 

[TradeDraft]

Long and Nick Daicos was only 2 positives tonight.

Rest was Disgusting real Lack of Care/Effort/Intensity was Disgusting

Players/Club need a Kick up the Ass

It’s simple, watch them. They are totally content and resting on their lorrils.

We are gone.
