Game Day Round 23, 2023 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

[SizeMatters]

Where are all the Rayner haters? Haha

don't think there are Rayner haters on this board. He's been good tonight.

But it's the consistency that everyone talks about.

I hope there isn't a "where are all the X haters" every time X has a few good touches.

Neale only 3 touches that quarter but was huge in the first.
Dunks with 18 to half time is back to his best.
Bailey doing some good things, he’s so dangerous up forward.
Dev has had some almost moments, to be expected at this stage though, still like the effort.
Cam Rayner has been excellent. I hate his girly looking jog though, especially when he is trailing an opponent.
Let’s hope Cal is ok.
Hippy not quite there but still working hard. If he keeps working it’ll turn.
We got some frees towards the end there. Surprisingly up in the free count.

I wonder how much that Dev jumper would cost me….

 

[Nathan Barley]

Dev has looked like a midfielder today but needs time to adjust to this pace

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Hope Ah Chee is ok, we're so much more dangerous and unpredictable with him on the field. Don't like Lyons subbing for him.

 

[SizeMatters]

I reckon 16 possessions had half time would disagree

what lol? I've said all through this thread that he's getting a bit of it. My issue is what he does with it. Don't think that can be disputed.

 

[dlanod]

Dev has looked like a midfielder today but needs time to adjust to this pace

And also to adjust to the Collingwood umpires

 

[Pacman82]

Sub out Berry. Has he done anything good tonight? He's getting a bit of it but swear half his touches have been hospital passes or just missing completely.

He gave Daicos a nice don't argue in the 1st

X is super underrated. Anyone who wants to have a go at him can get stuffed

 

[FeastOrFamine]

Playing a blinder .

Absolutely brilliant to watch him when he's in one of these moods. One of the hardest blokes to stop on the field - just too strong and skillful.

 

[dewah07]

any fans in marvel able to tell me if Ah Chee is warming up before the 3rdqtr?

I have him for alot of money for me and can cash it out

 

[Ceebee]

Loving Zorkos game , giving his all .
Hope Cal is ok poor bloke can’t take a trick ;

You know you have a gambling problem when you're more concerned with a bet than the player.

 

[M Malice]

I like Dev's game, playing more inside, give him the last 2 games in there to get up to speed for finals.

We dropped our intensity in the middle of that quarter for 10 minutes or so, lucky we didn't pay dearly for it, we are looking the better side.

 

[scoman]

Zorko having his best game in a while going nowhere near the midfield. Dev going inside instead.

Rayner having a big night in a more important role.

Ah Chee makes us a better forward line as well adding pressure and pace in leu of Gunston.

Feels very we told you......

 

[Squizz89]

Don’t think any have been horrible. Berry has had a lot of it but used it pretty badly. Jaspa wasn’t really up with the pace especially early, but I thought he was better that quarter.

Oscar had a quieter second quarter, if he gets back to Q1 form that should help us win enough clearances to give ourselves the best chance. Hope Cal is ok, think we need him up there tonight, given his form.

 

[royboys4eva]

Playing well. Third qtr is our best qtr this year. So need a big qtr now - get 4/5 goals in front so we can hold on by a goal

Rayner showing what we all know he is capable off but don't see enough. Keep it up pumba. Oscar doing well in the ruck. Zorko giving us some zip.

Umpires being awful and any 50-50 call going the way of Collingwood as usual.

Go Lions.

 

[rwan566]

much better run and carry hand pressure without gunston

 

[Nathan Barley]

Clug only had 8 touches. Wonder if we can get him more involved in the second half

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

In the nicest possible way: no one cares

 

[martinson]

We should go on with it from here.

Just hope Cal is ok. Every time he gets it something happens.

Surely Payne isn't right. Bez does my head in.

It doesn't look as if they're going to give up ,they're really up for it all over the ground .

Score is a fair reflection of the play ,they maybe could've been closer.

 

[M Malice]

Hopefully just a heavy knock that winded Ah Chee severely and he will be fine to come back on, he has been fantastic, would be such bloody rotten luck if he has sustained an injury.

 

[FeastOrFamine]

Jon Ralph says Ah Chee is all good to play

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Going forward, this is the team we need to send out.

 

[M Malice]

much better run and carry hand pressure without gunston

We will lose a lot of pace if Ah Chee has to go off for Lyons though.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Fox Footy just saying Cal's good to go for the second half. Phew
