Game Day Round 24 vs. Melbourne, MCG, 7:40pm Friday 23/08

[Axl the great]

Ed Allan in the middle is the way to go.
He's looked good so far.

Hits the footy and contest really hard, looks bigger in the body too, he may just have a future as a bull midfielder, especially as he puts on more bulk.

Melbourne seriously had given us the opportunity to be about 10 goals up at this stage.
I would love to know why we do not have the ability to really crush teams. It's like we get a lead, and then sit back expecting it will just continue with half the effort. It's totally a strange abnormality with this club....

My theory is we play such a energetically-taxing gameplan McRae coaches the boys to take the foot off just to ensure we can see out the game?

Why they decide its the right time to take the piss after just a 4-5 goal lead, I'll never know

Can you stop saying lmao every time you post. It’s actually embarrassing.

It's so cringe.

 

[barrackers]

Throwing things around. Parker had some centre bounce attendances that quarter.

 

[TradeDraft]

Just going through the. motions at the moment.Shame really,because we had Melbourne on toast.

It’s pretty much an Exhibition Game Tonight

 

[ThePheonix]

Very happy with Allen.

Ed Allan in the middle is the way to go.
He's looked good so far.

He’s looked great imo

Wish we would have given him more games this year

But I’m sure the inevitable “he’s not ready yet/up to the level” crew will come in and remind us he wasn’t ready or up to the level

 

[TradeDraft]

I’m at the game tonight. It seems the only reason the Melbourne fans have turned up for is to boo Maynard.

Pretty Much but they cheer a Dog in Pickett

 

[Bramax]

While I personally have no issue with Lippa, why do so many on this board have a tendency to take ONE fairly expected decent act from a divisive player as some sort of confirmation of their quality?

Shouldn’t a more sustained display of quality be a better indicator?

So many last week took that Brisbane game as some sort of indicator the Schultz trade was worth it while conveniently ignoring the other 20 horrid games he’s played lmaoooo

So many last week hoped it would shut people up for a week about Schultz. At least it lasted 6 days I guess.

 

[stormskye]

It's so cringe.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

No better proof than this game of how ****ing dumb and biased oppo supporters are when it comes to Collingwood.

Frees 12-2 our way because Melbourne are pathetic and second to every contest and these clowns think it's bias. We've been paid 4 of the most obvious HTB decisions amongst that, along with two blatant holds on Nick that should be paid every time.

Yet, they're all circlejerking over this false narrative that the umpires are somehow favouring the most hated team in the league.

Yet he’s not even on Pickett…

He was

It's the CFL, bro. Only reason they won last year.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Ron Barassi played for Melbourne, so that's probably an exaggeration.

Barassi has him for accolades, Daicos might surpass his career tally for Brownlow votes this year.

 

[Chameleon75]

You’d think they would’ve given Brown a send off game given they have nothing to play for.

Says the guy who’s bagged Sidey all year that he’s passed it.

They did it in the KB game. They didn't even last till halft time though. Gave up as early as their players did

 

[eddiesmith]

He was

Must have been for a second, definitely wasn’t when he kicked his goals or after that post…

 

[Soaring Magpie]

He’s looked great imo

He hasn’t been ready, it takes time to play an inside mid role.

 

[TradeDraft]

How did Bytel and Sullivan get game ahead of Parker and Allan?

 

[Footy Is The Win]

Wop it up 'em Pies

Wop it right up 'em

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Which as I’ve said previously, would be fine in isolation if we didn’t pay such a high price for him

Ymaoooooo

Because he is?

Unless of course you believe 2 or 3 genuinely great games in a season somehow qualifies as “not past it” at 32 or 33 years old

 

[stormskye]

Make me

Lmao
