Review Round 22 2018 - Collingwood 115-64 Port Adelaide

[Roverjg]

After a spluttering start for 3Q's the Pies really fired in the last. It was great to see them kick long in the last, thereby taking the turnovers out of play.

Murphy had a very solid debut and he looked composed. He will be a player. Magden, like Langdon was exposed for lack of pace on several occasions in one on one situations. Langdon put in a real solid last quarter and a half. Varcoe continued his cameo performance up until half-time but was quiet thereafter.

Bucks obviously told Cox to kick long because that's what he did after 3Q time. Grundy was magnificent as was Adams, Mayne, Sidey, Aish, Maynard, Sier, Pendles and De Goey.

Despite being exposed with lack of height down back we did a magnificent job only conceding 10 goals.

Adams: 30 disposals; 12 contested; DE 77%; 7 tackles; 5 clearances; 6 I50’s; 1 goal
Mayne: 27 disposals; 10 contested; DE 78%; 5 tackles; 3 I50’s; 1 goal
Sidebottom: 33 disposals; 12 contested; DE 76%; 5 tackles; 6 I50’s; 1 goal
Grundy: 25 disposals; 15 cont; DE 60%; 9 tackles; 42 HO; 8 clearances; 7 stoppages; 3 R50’s; 1 goal
Maynard: 23 disposals; 10 contested; DE 79%; 7 tackles; 2 I50’s; 5 R50’s
Sier; 16 disposals; 10 contested; DE 57%; 7 tackles; 4 clearances; 4 stoppages; 5 I50’s; 1 goal

Who would have thought Maynard and Langdon would be the pillars of our defence this year?
Both were massive, particularly Maynard, what a beast!

 

[Somebody]

Drafted Grundy at pick 18 lol

Oh gws ****** up big time

Youd prob get 2 top10 picks for him now

 

[Finnishpie]

Who takes his spot?

Maybe Moore if he can get on the park. Otherwise, we probably don't need him for Richmond if Howe's back. All other teams he stays.

Still wouldn't do it

Bucks seems to think Reid still a chance to get back.

This season has been one of the most enjoyable seasons for a long time, they gameplan and flair is great to watch.

The front half is scary good

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Riley Bonner was brilliant in the first half when it was tight.. thought Oxley was poor.. this guy made Oxley look best on ground.

 

[Pie eyed]

So happy!

Suck farts Port

 

[catpremier 07]

Thanks pies! If we dont win it I'll be on your bandwagon, mighty effort this year

 

[anshell]

Sensational win.Virtually a V.F.L strength backline,and quiet games from WHE,DeGoey and Thomas,and still we smash them in the last quarter.It's absolutely amazing what this team has been able to achieve.Let's hope we can get a few more class players back for the finals,just to make it even stronger!

 

[sideswipe]

Ok not what I heard

There seems to be mixed messages. Bucks said in one interview he was finished for year but Walsh said he might be a chance in injury update?

Whats going on with pendles? He's carrying something, cant kick more than 40m.

 

[left at home]

What a difference twelve months make, this time last year we were looking forward to crushing Melbourne dreams of finals, this year we are playing finals.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Just got back and saw the result. How awesome is it!! We are officially playing finals again!

Well done to the whole club for turning this around so dramatically since last year. The change has been amazing to see and watching us has become a pleasure again (and not just because we're winning; it's in the way we play).

Despite some huge list holes, despite a train crash injury crisis; we are a committed, bonded group playing good attractive footy and winning. I reckon we play a game that should stand up in finals too.

It's hard to put your finger on what has been the catalyst for this but I'll go with giving a shout out to Ed and the "review"...

[mocamagic]

Langdon very underrated
Madgen ok let's back him in
Murphy outstanding first half

 

[Finnishpie]

Well, maybe second week of finals. But can we risk him?

 

[nahnah]
