Aren't you the guy who thought we would make finals this year?
Watching the game as a neutral supporter I thought that Schade was decent tonight and is being treated a little bit harshly on here. Much better than Jack Frost
Also think Moore should go to e VFL for 3-4 weeks at least and bring in Dunn, either him or Reid playing forward
Also Maynard and Blair are both under performing, at least Maynard has youth on his side
And Bring back Mason cox!!
I prefer the glass being half full.Aren't you the guy who wears a helmet because the sky is falling in.
My glass is always half full yours is always empty.
Two observations from a neutral fan -
Rob Harvey is no good. Adams is the only mid to improve in his time at the club. The rest were all either established players (Pendles, Adams, Sidey) or have gone nowhere.
He did the same thing at Carlton (everything was Judd, Gibbs and Murphy) and the Saints (Hayes, Dal, Montagna).
Look at the improvement in guys like Steven and Armo after he left us.
Secondly; Bucks is doing to Moore what Malthouse did to Josh Fraser. Killing him with these games super early in his development. He fights hard and gives his all but he is getting smashed by bigger bodies and it's going to burn him out.
Josh was a pretty good player but never became the star he promised to become because his body was so beaten by his 25th birthday.
Good luck for the rest of the season guys.
Mate, you're welcome here and thanks for your concern.
Anyone blaming players inability to kick is short sighted. If only he kicked that goal! If only he held onto that mark!
Its the same as saying if only Moore would never drop a mark and kick 150 goals a season we'd never lose!!
For the most part collingwood consists of all afl standard players. They can all kick, they can all handball, they can all run. But that doesn't mean they can play cohesively as a team and its up to the coaches to facilitate that, thats the bottom line. And sure it doesn't always happen - after all there can only be one winner at the end of the season but thats why coaches get sacked and replaced by someone who has a different outlook, and buckley is next in line along with his cronies. Hes had more than enough time to show something.
Grundy is starting to impose himself on games. That long range goal said a lot. Same with Treloar. Quality players do stand up in these situations.The defense held together well, IMO, given how exposed we were on a couple of turnovers.
The spread from the contest was real bad at times especially exiting the back half where we just refused to use the width of the ground on the switch. Then there was the lack of angle options to spread the Tigers defense.
Changing angles makes us less predictable and harder for the opposition to prevent the overlap. Too often they forced long down the line. Treloar touched on the ball movement in his post match interview on SEN and confirmed we didn't move it how we wanted, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway because the forwards probably would have just burned the shot
With Sydney to come up there things look bleak, but it isn't just about the win loss either we are just so hard to enjoy watching. One thing we have to prioritise Grundy's signature immediately forget attracting players just get him signed up...
The reality, despite my disgust at tonight's performance, is that I will get up and watch again next week as I have for nigh on 60 years. What hurts is that we have been building for so long and that the side is stacked full of players that other clubs would die for and yet we can't even get over a side who are unlikely to play finals for the foreseeable future. We are putrid! Prove me wrong Pies because tonight's performance hurt deeply.At least you can say we are consistent at serving up tripe game after game for the last few years, so tonight's performance shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. Hence why the loss doesn't actually burn, more expected than anything.
Plenty of issues with the club, all the way from the players to the coaching staff, to the administration side of things. In the end it all boils down to how good the guys on the park are as that is what we all take out time to go see, and they are just deplorable. Two rounds into the season, the cold weather hasn't even hit and its season over for us. I just don't have the heart or time to care anymore. At least now I don't have to plan things around Collingwood games this winter.
Like your comments on Moore has to be moved higher up on the ground before Buckley screws him completely. Either CHB or CHFTwo observations from a neutral fan -

Ahem, He has had some successIm no longer making watching pies game a priorty... always dissapoints i am honestly done......Pendlebury should lookto go to a team like the giants he deserves some success.....i love him but why would he stay
Dunno what you're on about. Witts dominated last week.Only real 2 Postives
Grundy - How great to finally see a Collingwood Ruck Dominating a Game
WHE - He is at the Most Classy Player. Took 12 marks and Kicked 3 Goals
I have been a big defender of Bucks since he took over. The issue is its the same problems that are not improving.
In 3 years we really should either be dropping bad possession players and recruiting players with good ball use or changing the gameplan to fit the skillset we have.
You cant blame the coach for bad skills in his first year or two. But this is his 6th year now.
Well I'm convinced.He'll be right.
