"couldn't handle it, I guess" were his exact words. Not even BRS in Afghanistan would be triggered by that.
Dunno about that, a lot of people seemingly like being triggered and it is Gini after all - a man to incite violence and cop abuse by just existing.
 
Couldn’t have a better opponent to play with Moore and Murphy out. Bit worried we let a terrible team have 16 shots. They were seriously bad around the ground and in front of goal. They should’ve kicked another 7 goals which makes the margin less impressive.

I know we took the foot off the pedal after the 1st qtr but with our recent form I would’ve rather seen a bit more 4qtr defensive and contest possession dominance.
 
Can I just flag that Fin played a half of footy and had the most tackles of any Collingwood player.
I thought his intent was great. Ran really hard and got to contests endlessly.

I still think he could work in that Mitchell role. Rummage through packs and feed it out via hands, and tackle.

Was shocked to see we have won 20 minor premierships, 3 clear of the next. Absolutely put me on my arse. FMD.

Anyway, tick that off. 1st half was ok, some really sublime moments against trash opposition but the 2nd half was pretty ordinary tbh. Kicking to forwrds i50 was abysmal and must improve dramatically if we are to beat the Dees and go forward.

Let's see what happen now in 2 weeks, all the BS is over with but IMHO I haven't seen anything except for maybe 20 minutes against the Cats in the last 5 weeks to suggest we will do damage in September. But I hope I am wrong. Time is up. Time to put up or shut up. Time to prove that the minor premiership actually means something.
 
Live pictures of those in the gameday thread suggesting it was a pathetic effort from our boys.

Ticks across the board. Most important no suspensions, no injuries - at least to this point. Got the win, sealed top spot.

Set the win up in the first and coasted from there. I know some want us to play like it's a final, but that was never going to happen.

Ginnivan really putting his hand up for finals. Tough to fit him in, but might be able to hold his spot, at least until Nick is back.

A few of his handballs were very Tom Mitchell like

Seriously mate get a grip.

Your team has had an outstanding season finishing on Top, smashed a team who had pride and redemption driving them but were nonetheless humbled.

And you think we can’t do any damage in Sept - then I suggest you apply for some annual leave and get out of Country.
