Game Day Round 23, 2024 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

[scoman]

Best on ground for us that quarter, probably Morris with a couple of touches? It was that bad.

 

[Elixuh]

No aerial presence making it difficult to move the ball effectively.

Playing very rushed as a result of their pressure and forward structure has collapsed.

 

[Kwickhatch]

We are being held at every contest and obviously we can't hold back because we will get pinged but can we please use our bodies. Oscar is a dirty great big brute of a dude, run at Cameron FFS! How is he getting bodied so easily?

 

[martinson]

We're in front.

They can't keep this up.

So if we're any good we'll regroup .

 

[Ceebee]

Hopefully Pies run out of puff , glad they didn’t get another goal .

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

A miracle that we're still leading dispite only scoring 1 behind for the quarter. I hope the boys get a spray at half time.

 

[martinson]

In fairness, Sharp needs an opportunity to get up to speed. He is butchering it but he keeps turning up.

He's always butchered it.

But at least he has got his hands on it.

 

[Corrupt_]

missing bezza

 

[notliondown]

I struggle watching how easy they get away from ah chee, mccluggage, Ashcroft, Bailey and Zorko tackles.

Our small and mids apart from dunks and berry offer zero defensively and always have... And we get shown up the same way over and over.

 

[Elixuh]

I’d have starce tag daicos when the ball is in their f50

 

[Helicon1]

Gee we really love to allow teams back into games.
Again getting dashed in the centre
Again killed through the middle with quick accurate handpassing.
So many players non existent that qtr.

 

[Sproj]

Pies will bring it again in the third, we need to weather it and then come home stronger. They can't keep up that pressure, it was insane that quarter.

 

[irish]

One point for the qtr ! After 40 in the first ! Terrible at best , lose this and we are stuffed show some guts you lot

 

[beardancer]

again!!!!! No ruck. Collingwood killing us at stoppages because Oscar just isn't good enough. The backup ruckman is useless(as Always).

 

[Squizz89]

Let’s all be honest. The most unsurprising thing about that quarter is it wasn’t really surprising at all. Maybe the levels of shitness we played at but who truly believed we weren’t going to have at least one quarter like that? It has been a trademark of this team for a while now.

 

[Bucking Beads]

So disappointing that our top 4 hopes are on a knife’s edge and we’ve decided to just stop playing after 1 good quarter. Just really ordinary mentally from our guys.

 

[martinson]

Charlie's just so out of form.

We need a big lift from him.

 

[scoman]

I struggle watching how easy they get away from ah chee, mccluggage, Ashcroft, Bailey and Zorko tackles.

Our small and mids apart from offer zero defensively and always have... And we get shown up the same way over and over.

Were we even close enough to tackle?

 

[jumbojet]

Give Sharpie a chance ….collingwood was just hot that quarter. Hipwood maybe not right

 

[beatnik]

Believe it or not, we did well to be in front…Collingwood were up and about and all over us…just need to flush that qtr and come back out with some composure

We didn’t do a good job of taking the air out of the game when they’re surging…Sydney would have slowed things down much more and just made them run and run to waste energy in the zone press

Maybe it’s because we have so many guys with less than 50 games on the park, maybe it’s because we’re edgy at the G…either way, we need to learn to manage tempo against a surging team

 

[martinson]

I’d have starce tag daicos when the ball is in their f50

Which leaves Hill and Elliot.

But yeah someone's gotta do it.

 

[alscotoz2]

Deja vu all over again. The lions are the proverbial gumpian box of chocolates

 

[Sproj]

I will get shot down for this but I actually don't think we stopped trying, Collingwood were just immense, credit where it is due but there is still one half to go.

 

[Lace Out]

I hate it when we start fast

 

[braddsey]

So far Daicos gets the brownlow votes.

Collingwood pressure was intense that quarter. At least we held to off the keep the lead. Need to regroup, win the 3rd quarter.
