Review Round 3 = Collingwood 72-73 Brisbane

[unplugged]

Completely lost our dare once they got momentum in the second quarter. So, so, so much trying to save the game rather than win it. We were a goal off putting them to bed in the second quarter!

Absolutely shattering.

OTTNO. Not much we can do about that.

 

[lenny20]

The only thing more diabolical than the umpiring is our decision making.

And the only thing more diabolical than our decision making is our league-worst, confused as ****, undefinable, embarrassing, preschooler-level indictment of a gameplan.

Hope you enjoy the heat you just turned on yourself, Bucks - it’s gonna get absolutely blistering soon, and the only bloke you can blame is staring you right back in the mirror.

 

[AndrewShawble]

It’s upsetting but I believe in Buckley’s game plan and our drafting. We are heading places.

The Hine special of one paced medium sized players is old

 

[Matt_352]

Cox didn’t want the kick.

Pathetic

 

[ThePhantom777]

Didn't kick goals when we had dominance and it came back to bite us.

 

[TW Sherrin]

As usual the "stars" go missing when its time for someone to stand up.. its been going on for years. There is a void of ticker when the sh1t gets real.

On the positive, Grundy found his ground game.

 

[Aussie pie]

How do you not recognise Rich running behind to take a handball anywhere within 70 from goal? He’s been doing it forever. Brown should have run away and given Cox the kick, just run down the race and never come back and take WHE with him. F me, DeGoey did sweet fa Mayne not worth the time to even comment. The umpires

 

[AndrewShawble]

How many years has the forward pressure player been an important role?

Maybe since Aaron Davey in the early 00’s and it’s grown since then.

At some point we need a couple of smalls with speed that can pressure, crumb and kick goals.

 

[foreigner]

So predictable

Indeed, since late in the second quarter this was always going to be the result. Have been for years.

 

[Doc1763]

I bet you do sh*t stain

Charming, as usual.

19 games to go.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Cox didn’t want the kick.

A forward that doesn't want to kick a goal. What a rabble we are. WHE is not putting in at all. Standing there watching the play multiple times.

 

[J Albert]

God damn. That sucks hard.

 

[magpies42]

Brisbane were the better side in the second half and deserved to win in the end. We were worse with the ball, particularly going inside forward 50. Until that improves we won’t be a contender.

Third quarter belonged to the umpires.

 

[Finn Jim]

For a long stretch that game was fun to watch. Good chains of possession, movement, team up and about. But then over the course of the last quarter you could just see it coming. Brisbane wanted it that little bit more.

I wish I could have watched it as a neutral, because it would have been fun and dramatic. But it just sucks. And what's worse is just how many times we've watched this movie play out over and over again. Surge to a lead, give it up, fight like hell, lose.

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK that just for one game, all 22 players have a good night? The day Josh Thomas

actually shows up Sidebottom and DeGoey go missing.

Sorry for the rambling. This one stings.

 

[TradeDraft]

Could say the Result was Right and we really should lossed by lot more as we where outplayed most of the Game. Thank Christ for our Backline.

God out Ball Movement is Pathetically Bad and Also been Coached by Terrible Coaches. How the F**k did we pretty much run out of Subs in the last 3-4 Minutes?

WHE,BROWN BOYS,THOMAS AND MADGEN Where Usless as Usual. De Goey did Stuff All showing why he is Overrated as only shows good things in Patches and Goes Missing Most of the Time.

Only real Postive tonight was Grundy starting to look like his Old Dominate Self Again. Could tell when Grundy Went Off and Cox went into the Rucj

 

[Doc1763]

You can fu** right off too doc

19 games to go

 

[Lip Gallagher]

Got nosed by a very good opponant, not tbe end of the world, we can learn from that, we'll get em next time.

 

[Good_Old]

It was as if the guys thought they were home and switched off... what were they thinking?

As said this in the gameday thread, but if we don't have anyone better than the usual suspects C. Brown, WHE, Thomas and Mayne we're in trouble.

Forward 50 entry in the last, missing so many leads from DeGoey to bomb it in.

C. Brown, what the hell. He has to go. Simply not up to it.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Speechless.. don't wan't to think about it.

I'm off on my Tinder date.

Wish me luck.

 

[AgroMagro]

How many times in the past 10 years has this club played 4 winning quarters of football in the one game?

I reckon you could count them on one hand.

 

[Jelly Bean]

The thing with Mayne is he knew he was in trouble....and he selfishly wanted to stay on.
You could see the doc didnt want him out there.....yet he didnt budge.

It reeks of players playing for themselves.

Same as Callum Brown wanting to take a set shot simply for a stat rather than wanting the responsibility of being the man.

I'm no fan of Mayne, but you can't be seriously having a go at him for deciding to stay in the game when he wasn't concussed. If he had have opted out and not been concussed you'd be calling him weak.

 

[Doc1763]

To what? Such a ******* idiot

19 games to go.................................to freedom!!!!!!

 

[Matrix10]

A few look past it, starting with Mayne



Years of not drafting proper crumbing forwards that tackle and chase is evident. We rest our mids down there and it’s just a graveyard shift.



Cox and Mihocek extremely serviceable but again, fairly to draft that KPF for over a decade has left us thin up forward.

How many years has the forward pressure player been an important role?

Maybe since Aaron Davey in the early 00’s and it’s grown since then.

At some point we need a couple of smalls with speed that can pressure, crumb and kick goals.

Apparently we have one

 

[bucksisbest]

It was as if the guys thought they were home and switched off... what were they thinking?

They are a weak group.

Hugging is nice, not being a pack of weak campaigners is better.

 

[Lip Gallagher]

As usual the sky is falling brigade running the show here, how original.
