Game Day Round 17 - Collingwood v Essendon, MCG, 5/7/24, 7.40pm AEST

[Bjchan13]

Our players low football IQ is what opposition teams feed off. We'd have to be close to the dumbest football team in the league

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Efficient forward line vs inefficient forward line sums it up.

 

[MiguelM]

You mean Duursma?

Both!

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

You mean Duursma?

Duursma has been pretty ordinary.

 

[MiguelM]

Lav all at sea with Perkins.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Efficient forward line vs inefficient forward line sums it up.

this has been the issue literally the entire year since the Adelaide game.

We are insipid at scoring when we own momentum

 

[MiguelM]

Duursma has been pretty ordinary.

WTF, serious?

Our best with Merrett

 

[rumply]

Zach, Caldwell, Duursma all been excellent

Perkins and Shiel can **** off

Shiel's first game in forever, having any sort of expectations is the problem there.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

As bad as we have looked, we would be within about a goal if we had kicked a couple of very gettable set shots.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Duursma has been pretty ordinary.

What a dumb take. Has been pretty much the only one who's been able to grab the ball in the air in the entire quarter, with a few on the wing/near the 50 which stopped the Pies run and a big one in the back line basically saving a goal.

 

[Learntopray]

Both kicking turnovers at d50 have been targeting Shiel, who is not attacking the ball. He should not be a congestion marking target.
Maybe a coincidence, but where there is smoke, there is fire.

 

[scythe]

I've said it before, but "lucky to only trail by X" is always a curse.

The number of times we had to fight through half the Pies' entire list in our forward 50 while they can waltz around untouched in theirs is nuts. Need to really clean up around halfback too.

Regroup and get into it boys

 

[sameolds33]

Duursma has been pretty ordinary.

two effective and timely marks. Better than most

 

[DapperDon]

I'd be curious why.

He did what I wanted with selection. If we still had Heppell and Goldstein out there I'd be filthy at him too.

But this is the players.

He hasn't changed much at all, that is the problem. This is the same team, in pretty much the same positions that have been dishing up rubbish for 6 weeks.

At least he bought back a past it midfielder that we'll trade at seasons end, that is something.

 

[MightyDon]

Great kick caddy

 

[Bjchan13]

Nice pass from Caddy

 

[Call Me Cake]

I'm loving Caddy's teamwork and effort. Got heart.

 

[scythe]

Fantastic chain.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

so many shots from out wide. get forced there every time

[NoWuckingFurries]

Why is it that draper and McKay have like zero ability to pluck a mark?

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Draper. Mate.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Miss miss miss miss miss miss…. ****!

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

How did they have 3 one 1 on the wing and same numbers forward

 

[Jobe Watson]

Our defensive transition is an absolute disgrace. They're just walking it up the ground.
