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

[Howard Moon]

We are losing too much with Durham being defensive, daicos is still getting it. Release duz

 

[Call Me Cake]

Hopefully their old legs tire in the 2nd.

I said the same thing on Anzac Day. It ain't happening. Need to just accept that these few are gonna keep at it and try to break even with our effort and in other parts of the ground.

 

[MiguelM]

Yep….same as 2MP with his outer wing overlap shit sandwich to no one. Just poo IQ

He waited too long to give off.

 

[Booplaz]

Good contest. We look much more resolute than last week.
Duz doing a great job. Caldwell as well. Merrett keeping us in it and bringing the boys back into the game. Gresh is getting involved. Jonesy playing well and again some solid marking. I've liked Cox today as well. He's growing in confidence this season again. He's going to be awesome. A lot to like tonight. Caddy is going to be a gun.

I mean we were looking pretty good at half time last week too, need to start the 3rd well or I fear we roll over again.

 

[rumply]

We’re basically ahead on every stat but agree it feels we’re lucky. We are our own worst enemy

That is becoming a regular theme which I assume suggests we have a solid coaching plan but are a few players away from making it all click.

 

[Goat Hird]

That 2020 draft really was whatever, probably missed on all 3 picks.

 

[Mootsy]

need a big fish to start clunking them.

 

[ghostdog]

Glad we stopped putting Wright in at the CBs. He's a shadow of what he was. It's really concerning. IIRC he injured his shoulder? Has his become more meek since that?

 

[bommer16]

My dad text me about caddy and said he could be next Paul salmon.
Could he?

 

[Petrify]

I think we're a good shout to win from here. We've given up 4 goals from awful clangers. Tighten up our disposal and we're in great shape.

I feel it's been since the suspension...

 

[Petrify]

He's more like Curnow than any other player I've ever seen. Hard to compare him to anyone but Curnow.

 

[bommer16]

Should be infront those 2 errors
Wrights wrong handball and Ridleys riddle

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

I love how hodge wants me to get into crippling debt in order to finance something I can't afford

 

[MiguelM]

I would put Stringer in the guts first 5.

 

[Call Me Cake]

I would put Stringer in the guts first 5.

Yep, I'd go with this too.

 

[Beerfish]

My dad text me about caddy and said he could be next Paul salmon.

Could he be a ruck we play at full forward and let go to Hawthorne to be a ruck. I hope not.

 

[Vander18]

Strategic sub right now….Wright off, Hind on.

We can use Hinds energy and Wright has been useless - him going open things up for other forwards.

Be bold and pull the trigger Scotty.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Hind on, Wright off and Stringer in the middle would shake things up.

 

[Vander18]

I would put Stringer in the guts first 5.

God no….been a sieve at CB’s this year.

Must roll with Caldwell, Perkins and Zac early.

 

[Learntopray]

It's frustrating when we burst forward, we rarely have easy options to kick to.
Contrast, when we turn it over, it's open slather with players out the back.
We over corrected midway through the season.

 

[fishardansin]

Ridiculous unforced turnovers costing us 3 goals in 2nd quarter. We're such a hard team to watch.

We still have a long way to go and should be pumping games into Bryan, Tsatas and Hobbs, alongside, Perking, Cox, Caddy and Jones.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

That is becoming a regular theme which I assume suggests we have a solid coaching plan but are a few players away from making it all click.

Pretty much this, together with the fact that collectively we remain among the bottom half of the comp when it comes to our disposal skills. If we were as good as Pies on that skillset, we'd we at least 3 goals in front.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Stringer's in the middle

 

[Call Me Cake]

Caddy's tackle attempt on De Goey created the chance for Calders to tackle Steele

This kid is in everything Dustin Martin style
