Autopsy Round 22 = Sydney 89-86 Collingwood.

[regpies]

Every time we get a comfortable lead halfway through the 4th qtr we stop and want to shut it down. No run, can’t buy a clearance.

What’s the point of Richards coming on with 47secs left.

Someone needs to learn how to tag properly when needed. I know we don’t tag hard but Cripps last week and Heeney this week in the 4th qtr was pathetic just letting them do whatever they want.

Craig Macrae: "we value every second of time in a game".

I'm sorry but when you try to go whole quarters at a time with ZERO intent to actually score, you get the result we got tonight and what we should've got last week.

All ememphasis was on burning time. And to be perfectly frank, that stems from poor coaching, this year anyways.

Couldn't agree more, I'm glad we lost. Don't try and not play the game when we are 3 or 4 goals up. Let's reset, get the aggression back and hit back next year. Macrae needs to be blasted. You're on the bench, tell them to bloody attack when we have the momentum!!!

Pretty much agree with all of the above but obviously can’t like them. Colliwobbles are alive and well unfortunately. So angry that we go out that way, AFL Friday night rules interpretation change aside. What the heck is the plan for last quarters, only try to score if you’re behind. Very rarely lose my cool but I’m ropeable at the moment.

Also, fu*king lol at Richards being brought in with 47 seconds left while Schultz was spudding it up the entire game

Schultz was horrible,as was Lipinski.I really can’t see what either of them adds to the team.

 

[TylerDurden]

Umps killed you.
The 2 deliberates and the non 50m penalty. Robbed.

 

[regpies]

If they want to pay every ball going over the boundary then they needed to pay that 50, he was at least 10m over the mark

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Have pissed away too many of these leads this year. Oh well.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Whoever thought of recruiting Schulz deserves a shovel to the head.
Absolute spud.

Yeah he’s been a bust to this point

 

[CasuallyDressed]

It was always coming.

They can't close out games anymore and it's why they're watching finals from the couch.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Heeney brilliant but f me, those deliberate calls!

Wasnt even the deliberate calls (which were extreme) but the lack of consistency. Hill puts and arm across Blakey and gives a 50m, Warner had Long completely wrapped up and it ends up being a reversal (which was there). McCartin runs 3-4 steps over the mark and no 50m. They're the 2 that really stood out. That said, we still had the game on our boot on a few occasions and burned those opportunities.

 

[Bungeye]

The same shit happens to us week in week out with team overrunning us.

And the idiot coach and players still have no idea how to overcome it. Checked out. Hope you enjoy the early season finish.

It happens to just about every team in the comp these days...

Ah well, shit happens.

 

[HFF]

I’m not sure who to put that game on…the players or the coaches.
Because of how frequent we have just stopped in last terms when we get to 25-30 point leads…and get reigned in so quickly tells me it’s on the coaches.

 

[Vicky Park]

Is there anyone else we can blame? I'm trying to think...

I am absolutely bewildered by this, and I bet not a single journo asks Fly about this (if there's even a journo to ask, last Sydney home game literally only one journo rocked up to the pressers).

 

[Captivating]

Ah well, Schultz happens.

FTFY

Should have been a 50 to Long when elbowed Grundy as well. Still only ourselves to blame though really.

 

[TheBaron]

Really, really, disappointed. Final quarters use to be a strength and now we're hopeless. Massive question marks over personnel. The clearances from centre bounces was appalling.

true, but we shouldn't have been in that position

I blame the vernal equinox.

 

[Seedsman_]

We missed too many easy shots when we were on top in the third to put the game out of reach. We just haven’t been good enough this season.

 

[JuniorB]

I said to my son at three quarter time that missing easy shots at goal could bite us on the bum, even without the shit umpiring.
So it proved.
I thought Ned Long had a good game.

 

[JuniorB]

I blame the vernal equinox.

It's next month.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Makes Jesse White look like Royce Hart.
(Fat) Jesus! He makes me feel like vomitting. Schulz is basically a first round pick for us and he stuffs up everything!!!!!!!?????

Yeah, I blame it for not being tonight!!!
