Game Day Round 22: Collingwood vs Geelong, Friday 11 August 7:50pm @ MCG

[And_ROOS]

Yep, Melbourne's midfield is easily the strongest of the lot - will destroy anyone.

Add in their defence. They get Fritsch back soon and if one of their forwards can just not be shit during September they win the flag,

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

We deserve this. Free ride over for Stengle and SDK time to hit the twos.

 

[TheCatStevensExperience]

Henry after the siren?

 

[Pollywaffle]

Still, saying if he kicked those goals we would be winning doesn't work.
The ball goes back to the centre rather than a kick out and everything changes and nothing is certain
The pies could get a goal from a clean centre break, we could. Basically ever outcome is a possibility except the one we are now experiencing

Too right. Poor understanding of the butterfly effect
( recurring problem in all sports commentary)

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

jeez Murphy is an exceptional defender

I was thinking that before. Underrated player.

 

[And_ROOS]

Only lost by 2 goals to the top team

Who lost players pre-game and then one of their best defenders during the game and we couldn't get it done. Pies aren't the top team on form and we just let a massive opportunity slip.

 

[catempire]

Flat. A handful of shit mistakes cost us.

 

[TheCatStevensExperience]

8 points in the end. Was winnable. On to next week

 

[CHAWKTS]

See you in 2024, folks.

We will beat St Kilda then elimination final against Bulldogs at home

 

[TheCatStevensExperience]

Pendlebury telling Smith he's retiring too

 

[year of the cat]

Should probably have won it with the weight of ball in the last 1/4. A few brain fades and skill errors cost us.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Wtf is the goal umpire doing

 

[Play it Sam]

At least the % didnt take a hammering, not that it matters

 

[cats_09]

Sold out 78k crowd what a joke.

MCC not very full on the top deck

 

[Hinkley29]

How the hell was that an 8 point final margin?

Melbourne should be odds on to win the flag right now

 

[Baudolino]

What a jet Danger is. An absolute privilege to watch.

Love him. Won't hear a word against the man. <3

 

[winty]

If we didn't have those 3 or 4 brain farts in the last term we could've pinched that.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Plan your holidays for September without fear folks.

 

[Reppie]

Wtf is the goal umpire doing

been on the jazz cabbage

 

[Strange Cat]

We will beat St Kilda then elimination final against Bulldogs at home

Can we make the finals still?

 

[And_ROOS]

Even the umps couldn't save you <3 Enjoy the holidays this year guys

You mean the umps that carried you in the first half when we were all over you? Those umps?

 

[Pollywaffle]

How the hell was that an 8 point final margin?

Melbourne should be odds on to win the flag right now

They had us at half time.

 

[kickazz]

Another 'almost' game. So many of those this season.

Imagine we brought the fourth q intensity during the third.

Maybe Collingwood got tired. Maybe we needed to bank some petrol tickets. Hopefully it's not an attitude thing.

Whatever it is, need to improve.

 

[Lana]

Their "tactic" is to literally just run ahead of the ball EVERY SINGLE TIME.

And we're so uncompetitive they can do that with impunity.

Didn't work out for Adelaide when they tried it

 

[StonedCat]

Even the umps couldn't save you <3 Enjoy the holidays this year guys

Gee you're brave with your throw away a/c
