Review Round 19, 2023 vs Collingwood

[Windy Cindy]

Him and butters would get so frustrated with some of the other guys on the team fumbling and hacking it around, those 2 have to save our bacon so often

Namely wines and boak

 

[Doctor Feel]

Dropped murphy with a short right hook

I suspect Willie might have done a bit of boxing the way he keeps dropping blokes. Not a huge amount of force but he gets them in the right spot. Will get 2 weeks I'd say, but they might throw the book at him because he already got suspended..

lol saw all the replays of it post game, it was an open palmed slap with a bit of force.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Our forward line tonight nowhere near good enough

 

[Palpatine_Power]

It’s getting a bit old, losing when it should matter.

 

[gbear]

I mean I think he’s 29 this year no doubt he’s dropping off

He has been deplorable.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

I'd love to know the rationale for subbing Lycett. Yeah he wasn't dominating in the ruck but by subbing him you then lose Dixon or Finlayson in the forward line. And Williams was never going to be very impactful in that game playing from half back.

Williams is a rubbish sub. He might but the 23rd player selected but he is not a good sub. Use someone who has some flexibility and can impact around the ball.

Marshall and finlayson were poor.

 

[Powerade 08]

Just looked at the stats, that is seriously flattering for Evans. He was gifted a goal by Marshall but outside of that he was BAD. and we knew he would be bad before the game. Such a poor selection.

 

[hammo24]

He has been deplorable.

Very strange but, he literally won a Brownlow 2 years ago

 

[wayb2912]

Why is everyone so negative, we came up 2 points short against the best team who kicked 3 boundary line goals in the last quarter. We are a very good side we will push teams in the finals no doubt

We won’t win any of the next 3.

Rubbish.. that game beats Adelaide and geelong

McEntee was worse yet has fresh ink on a two year deal. Why? They are both not AFL standard.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

McEntee & Evans will never be up to the level, but you can’t have quality players like Wines & Marshall offering next to nothing for 4 quarters of footy.

 

[PortPortPort]

It's always been our problem. It kills us time and time again. We're not ready for a flag until the poor goal conversion is rectified via bringing in more skilful players.

Practising goal accuracy would be good too.

He may have, but he has been garbage since.

SANFL lifer tattooed all over him.

 

[Doctor Feel]

All we need now is thundercloud to rock up and be like "mmm yes daddy what a competitive performance, feed me more poo"

 

[TeeKray]

The mids were awesome.

The mids were not awesome. Adams, Pendelbury, Daicos dominated the last quarter, in particularly the first 5-10 minutes of the quarter where all of our good work from Q3 was undone. As always, our high end players don't deliver when it really matters.

But not win them defs not a preliminary and that's why we're negative

Seasons over

Probably because we just lost our biggest test of the year, after getting smashed last week and put a top 2 finish in serious doubt.

 

[Ah12]

An absolute stinker of a game from Wines. Literally offering us nothing. I called for his head 2 weeks ago and was laughed at but if that game doesnt warrant at least the threat of being dropped than idno what does. Did anyone actually notice him out there tonight?

 

[Macca19]

So hard to know how to feel about this loss.

Half of me is proud of how we played. We gave it 100%. Could not really have done much more. Collingwood did what Collingwood does which is come from behind, kicked a number of clutch goals and got it done. There's no shame in how we lost tonight.

On the other hand...

We've been here, seen this, bought the tshirt before a hell of a lot over the last 10 years. So many close enough, near enough, shoulda/coulda/if only games that we somehow lose at home despite winning a lot of key statistical parameters. Thats why this stings. It feels no different. It's just another "if only"...

• Marshall misses from 20 out on a slight angle. Thats the 1/100 he misses
• Lachie Jones going up to spoil and missing the ball twice. Two goals
• Lachie Jones somehow kicking the ball at right angles out on the full. Another goal
• Finlayson missing two snaps in a minute
• Farrell with the most obvious deliberate of all time. Knock it through the goals ffs
• Farrell with the sloppiest of sloppy tackles on Daicos 20 out from goal
• Farrell missing a sitter mark with a minute left

If only one of these things is different, we win.

These are the Ebert smother, the Duursma dropped mark, the Hartlett deliberate that we rue leaving the ground.

The Farrell deliberate. I just don't know what he was thinking there. There's three options the way I saw it:

• You try and keep the ball in and cop the tackle. You risk holding the ball. Maybe 50% chance it goes against us
• You knock it through the points and risk deliberate behind, maybe 25% chance it goes against us
• You clearly knock it over the boundary line. 1000000% it goes against us.

Shit decision making.

Lachie Jones had a great month or so there. But after getting 4 goals kicked on him in about 2 minutes against Carlton, and whatever it is he was doing tonight, he's had a real dirty two games now. You can't fly up for a spoil/mark, completely miss the ball and take out your own player. Twice. Idiocy.

I'm sure i'll get called a simp again but I thought McEntee was ok tonight. His chasing, harrassing and pressure I thought was pretty significant. I think his pressure was definitely worth a couple goals for us tonight. Does Fantasia play better? Maybe. If he doesn't ping a calf. But Fantasia is definitely not chasing like Jed did. Maybe if we had DBJ out there we win.

JHF had some great play in the second half, but his first half stunk. Wines looked 38yo out there tonight. Duursma's opponents in the first quarter absolutely destroyed him but he came back well and played a real solid game. Drew was bloody good, as was Rioli.

Was hoping we either won or lost big. At least if you lose big you know you aren't good enough. Here, it's that pesky ****ing grey area again.

 

[Windy Cindy]

He should be on his he trade table to get us a 1st round pick.

Be lucky to get a 2nd

11 years of failure and the same shite will do that.

 

[afl2004]

2 out on the full as well
